Hey Tegan,

Sorry I hadn't seen this post before. Alot of people I knew at school had babies in their teens - I came from a low socio-economic area, and it really wasn't too unusual. So I reckon I have a pretty good attitude towards young parents, specially ones who are being as fantastic about it as you are.
I think people like Tanya are great role models for teenage pg mothers cause they prove that having a baby young certainly does not ruin your life, and can be one of the best things to happen.
I hope you get all the support you need over the next couple of months - specially with bubs due to pop along ANY MINUTE!!!!! You will have a ball and I am very jealous - i think its great to be a teenage mum for the relationship you will have with Lily when she is a teenager. My mum was going through menopause when we were teens and it was rough....... for all of us.
Enjoy the experience!! If we were supposed to have babies as old women our fertility wouldn't start to drop off from age 27!! I'm happy I'm having a baby now, cause I am where I want to be in life, but I'm still super stressed about it, feel like I'm going to be a terrible Mum, worried about money, and whether everything is going to be OK.
Best wishes, and congrats. Hopefully Lily will arrive today!!
