I got married at 20 and fell pregnant (on the pill) on our honeymoon. My husband and i met at church and waited till we were married before having sex. As soon as we told people we were expecting, i got the worst looks. Alot of people decided that it was a shot gun wedding, even though we had been engaged for a year and the wedding invites went out 7 weeks before the wedding. Also, I had a few strangers ask me as soon as they knew i was pregnant, if i am married. Like it is any of their business!
But the worst part of it all was my husbands family! Firstly they were disgusted i would tell people before 12 weeks then they started carrying on that i fell pregnant on purpose. That it was a way of trapping thier son! Hello! He had already married me!
Now i am 21 and have 9.5 weeks to go till bub is born. I have been keeping well away from DH family. They have been trying to get closer ever since i passed 12 weeks but i say too bad for them. They have hurt me too much to even think they will ever have a close relationship with me or bub (whom they kept calling an accident).
I'm to swollen to wear my rings now as well, but at least i know who my friends are, and my side of the family are brilliant. I think some people need to get a life! Sorry i've babbled so much but this is a subject that really gets to me! At least once bub arrives it will all be worth it!
