I dont think i could of done it with out ben tho he was there from the start, he was there at birth and he is still here now. he is great daddy..

Congratulations :D

I was a young Mum (once ;) ). I fell pg with my first DD, Alecia when I was 14, and it is hard to tell your parents that you are pregnant!!
Unlike you I had no partner to help me out, but I did have the support of my Mother and Father, they were fantastic, and there is no way I could have managed without my family.

Lachlan, is very lucky to have a Daddy who loves him, and I think Ben knows how lucky he is too :)

Good luck and I hope to see you around the forums

Congratulations on your little man Lachlan.

Another young mum here. Once upon a time. I was 1 week off 17 when I found out I was pg. I was living with my then partner and we stayed together for 7 years and had another son together.

I wish you lots of luck on what can be a beautiful journey having a child at such an age. Just means you have lots more time to have more bubba's, like Tanya and I ;)

Just thought I would say hello. My mum had just turned 16 when I was born, and my father was also 21.
My mum did everything she could for me and I have so much respect for her for all the sacrifices she made for me. She did it by herself, my father left when I was about 6 months old and she had very little family support. We never had a lot of money, but when I think back to my childhood I don't remember not having things - I remember all the fun times. She always told me how important it was to finish school and go to uni, which I did and for which I give her full credit because I know that without the 'school is good' attitude at home I wouldn't have done it. A couple of years ago she went to tech and finished high school, I was so proud of her. She is now very happily married to a lovely man, only 40 with her kids out of home and a lot of life left to enjoy.

A lot of people out there are quick to judge and assume a young mother is not a good mother but don't listen to them. I know first hand that it is not the age of the parent that matters - in my opinion what counts is maturity and attitude.

Good luck

Hi. Your story sounds so much like mine, (except I am 18 and my bf, also Ben, is 24).
My little baby boy was born july 10th, and although I ws scared before he was born. I just couldn't imagine life without him now.
Just wanted to wish you the best of luck with everything.

I fell preggers at 16, had my son 3 months after my 17th birthday.
Good on you guys! It's always good to see girls who make a simple mistake face up to their responsibilities, along with their partners! You should be feeling really proud of yourselves, parenting isnt easy, but it sure is rewarding:)

Best of luck with Lachlan!
