hey i was in your situation last year. im 17 now and my daughter Ella is 1. although my friends were supportive there were alot of other people at school who werent! i had this boy come up to me and said do you want me to punch the baby out of your belly? it was really upsetting but i was very protective of my bump :)
the dad was supportive in the end but still didnt understand how i felt. dont worry about giving birth you will be fine! i had a c-section and it was scary but its over and done with in no time! goodluck!! and congrats :)

hey dont worry, i lost my first baby at 16 now im 19 n got a 10 month old daughter. her dad is in afghanistan so im alone my family dont help out but u manage.. the birth is not as bad as people make out but try to stay calm and breathe through contractions, i did and did it all with no pain relief, i found curling up on my side very helpful and get your birthing partner to rub your back. to me it felt like stronger period pains... but when u see your lil girl it will defintely be worth it...
congratulations ull be fine :) everything always works out xx

hi hun
if what to chat any time just message me i will always reply as soon as i know i have one for the birth of your baby girl try to relax and move fingers and feet or somethink to take your mind of the pain take somethink to bite or your mans hand lol good luck

I was pregnant when i was 17, give birth when i was 18. honestly don't worry about the birth, it really isn't as bad as some people like to make out, but it is different for gas and air is a real big help to some people, if you know how to use it properly, it really helped me through the pain. and walking around a little bit really helped. Anyway Hun your worrying now, but when the time comes closer to your due date, all you'll be wanting is to see your baby and then you really do feel ready to take whatever pain you may have thrown at you. and at the end of it you will have your beautiful little girl then it will all fade away, (honestly). Anyway it cant be all that bad because I'm on to baby number two now :) good luck xXx

hi hun. dnt worry about ur man or ur mates all of us no matter of age go through the same thing , as mates without children loose intrest really fast due to going out n men never get it . if u need to talk theres pleanty of us on here who are always up for a natter just send a message hun. im sure the birth will go fine again regardless of age we all have the same worries about the labour but just try n relax about it just get all the info before hand so u know all posibilaties that way ur always in controll n things go easier. take care hun xxx

Hi ya, Just had a little girl, 12 weeks old. I used to feel like you about the labour and birth. Trust me, it hurts but you cope with it. My husband was worried about how I would cope with pain as I don't have a very high pain threshold, but he was amazed at how I dealt with it. The pain is not that bad, and the thought of meeting your little one in the, end is amazing. As for your friends, don't worry about them, Try and find some other young mums to be in your area that you can meet up with. Talk to your midwife about and groups that are run that you can attend. Try not to let other people bother you. add me as a friend if you want. Where abouts you from?
