twins at 15?

Question

i found out i was pregnant about 3 months ago and i am 5 months gone. they have told me i am having twins. my mum knows i am pregnant but not that its twins. i would never abort the baby or put it up for adoption but i don't know what to do when the babys are born. i think 15 is too young to have a baby too but i am totally against abortion and deffinately dont think i could put it up for adoption. please help and let me know what i can do. i am still with the father and happy together.

Answer 1

First, I would like to tell you how mature and insightful you seem for 15. Second, congratulations!! If your mom already knows about 1 baby, it won't be as hard to tell her there are 2. You are very lucky to have a supportive mother, and a supportive boyfriend. Two babies are harder than one, but they are worth every sacrifice and struggle you have to go through. The first time you see a little smile, or hear the first little giggle, you will melt!!! Being a mom is hard, but it is also one of the most rewarding jobs you will ever have. Also as far as buying clothes and that, I have heard that you only need to buy 11/2 times what you would for a single child and the babies can share a crib for quite awhile. They may actually prefer to share a bed! Anyway, good luck and God bless!! Keep us posted!!!

Answer 2

That's totally up to you to decide. 15 is pretty young to have two babies but that's your situation and you need to make the best of it. Taking care of one child is hard enough as it is. All I can say it that the first years will probably be the hardest while you adjust. I had a child fairly young (17), I am now 24 with two boys and am just starting to get my life together. I'm going to school full time and am married to the father of my children. I hope you and your bf can find a way to stay together but statistically, the odds are against you. I wish you all the best.

Answer 3

Well, you wouldn't be the first person to have kids at 15 and raise them yourself. If your mom already knows about the pregnancy, I can't see that twins would be that much of an additional blow. Fifteen is too young to have a baby, but guess what? you're already having them, so it's too late to start moralizing about that now. Get as much support as you can from your family and the father, and find out if there is any kind of support or resources in your community for young mothers.

Answer 4

Two babies means two of everything. I take it that you are are living with your Mom and therefore your Mom is probably going to help you buy most of what the baby needs. And the father should be making money to stock up on diapers and clothes. She needs to know its twins. Then invite her to your next doctor's appointment. Nobody can make you have an abortion now you're 5 months pregnant.

Answer 5

Answer 6

From your question we can see there is only one answer. Keep them with you. You should them prepare yourself for a extenuating situation and look for help as one baby is tiring but two is extenuating.
Let your mum know and let the babies' father know. Try to see what resources you have to take care of the babies. You will not, probably, be able to do anything else than take care of them for months, so plan ahead the money you are goign to need. Can the father help you? Can your mother help you? Be prepared for heavy times, sleep well and eat well.

Answer 7

Oh you poor thing! You are probably feeling so overwelmed. Tell your mom, she may be shocked at first, but it will settle. Its going to be a little tougher with twins, you will need some help, but you will get through it. Once you see your babies, everything will be fine. Just take it one day at a time, and try to stay relaxed. 15 is very young, but stay strong and have faith in yourself that you can do a good job. You can take courses for school at home through corrispondence, and continue to care for your babies. Don't give up on yourself, we are all tested with things in our life, but god doesn't throw anything at us that we can't handle. In 4 more months you are ging to have 2 beautiful babies, be grateful, as their are many out there who can't have children. It will be trying at times, but just go day by day, and do the best you can, just love them.

Answer 8

It is some thing that happened and you can not change the situation any more. I believe you should talk to your mom about it and find a solution for it. I know it is hard but I think you should enjoy your twins and try to stay with tier father and get his help.

Answer 9

I agree, tell your mom. Also, get your GED if you can't continue with school. Those kids are going to need you and at 15 you still have a lot to learn. I would also sign up for parenting classes. Make sure your boyfriend goes. Good Luck! Don't ever be afraid to ask for help, it's better than having problems later on.

Answer 10

Well if you think you can handle it just keep them. The daddy can help you too. You need to tell your mom so she can be prepared for it. You need your family. What you did cannot be changed and babies are a blessing. If you have love for your unborn children you'll do what's best for you and them. Your motherly instincts will kick in once you have your children and you'll be able to handle anything that comes your way. Good luck and God Bless you precious.
