Congrats first on the baby. Now your life will change for ever. Sorry you got pregnant so young. I am not a teenage mom but I am herer to give advice if needed. You are not a little girl any more but a women with a resposnsibility. You cannot take a break at any time and you cannot hang out with friends or got out alone unless Fenton is with you. Being a teenagae mom is hard because you cannot be a teenager and do all the things teenagers do. You have to breast feed if you chose, bottle feed, change diapers and many other things that goes along with mother hood. I am a 32 yr old mother of a 5 yr old and I also work in a childcare center. I will pray for you and Fenton and ask God to help both of you through this first yr journey.

I was 17 when I feel pregnant with my first son, he is now almost 12. Its hard especially if you are on your own. But things work out you manage and the best thing is you are young enough to enjoy your baby. It can be tough but the good times far out-number the bad. You will get into a routine and you will sail through it. O managed on my own, I now have 3 children and don't think I have done too bad. My kids are always polite, never back chat me and are doing really well at school. They are all really happy and healthy. So just do your best and enjoy her as they grow up so fast, you will blink and they will be going to high school(that's how it feels anyway). What a beautiful name. Good luck. Take no notice of all those people who look down their nose at you for having a baby so young, you can do a great job of it. Talk to your health visitor, They aren't the monsters I thought they was, they are there to give you support and advise and it does work. By the way I am 30 now so my son sees me as a friend as well as his Mum. Good luck.

I was a mother at the age of 15 too,it was not easy. I am happy with the decision you made, instead of aborting her, you stood up to your responsibility. I love that name it's unusually. Oh by the way please get on birth control, see I did not have anybody talk to me about birth control and trust me before I left the hospital after giving birth, I got the depro shot. Now I am 21 and expecting my second child, I'm afraid it's still going to be hard after waiting till my son was 6 years old. Yes it's from the same guy. BEST OF LUCK!!

aww congratulations!!!
and you may get some stick for being a teenage mum but don't listen to it!
fenton is such an unusual and nice name..... good luck with raising her, its not going to be easy but it is worth every minute!
try asking your midwife/health visitor for lists of mother and baby groups so you can meet other teenage mums, there are quite a few around so you can all support each other
congratulations again and enjoy motherhood!!

I like you am a teenage mum.. I am no longer a teenager now. but i was 17 when i first had my son. 18 for my second. I didnt get support from my family, and had to go it alone to learn how to a mum. I havent failed at all. Infact, it was the bestest choice i made. Hopefully you will be able to gcses and get the grades you want and support from your family.

There are alot of teenage moms around. Where I'm from there are alot of teenage moms. You are not alone. The only advice that I can give you is stay strong , stay in school and be a good mother, stay positive and keep praying. Stay close to your mom and dad. You will do just fine.

well, congrats, and i am glad you kept the child many don't. at least you are trying to make up for your uh oh, but love her, and take care of her. I love the name, and it may be a long hall, but you can do it. I am not a teenage mom tho.
