This place is so encouraging! =D> Its so good to hear from other young mums or mums to be! I am 24yrs and 30 weeks pregas with 2nd bub. I had Matthew when I was 20. I love being a mum, I really believe that falling pregas with Matthew saved me from myself and in a way saved my life.
DP and I had only been together for 3months. He wanted me to have an abortion, but I just knew that this was a blessing. Our relationship has been rocky to say the least- I think that he feels that I took away his choices about when he wanted to start a family. Being a young parent is hard especially when you feel like you are on a different planet to your partner.
To cut a long story short, we broke up when Matt was 3months old and I did the single mum thing for 2years. That was hard even with a supportive family!!
We have been back together for a year now and I'm glad that Matt wont remember those first few turbulent years.
DP is a really good dad but our relationship is still rocky at the best of times. Being pregnant again is great. I cant wait to have another little Matty running around. If I had a supportive partner I would love to have heaps of kids!! Please let me know if there is anyone else with similar thoughts or experiences
