Everything will be fine.
I was younger than you when I became a mother, and I finished college in 4 years - right on schedule.
It's possible, believe me!
And you have extra support if your famliy is on board.
Good luck!!

I am 19 and my fiancee is 21. Well we got pregnant before marriage and my family wasn't happy about it either. His was more supportive but they didn't really seem to thrilled either way. My family wanted us to move up our wedding immediately, we have had a date set for over a year now for September 19th, 2009, we just wanted to wait for the big day. We still chose not to move it up which further angered my parents. It took a little while, but now they are so in love with the idea of having a granddaughter that they can't contain themselves. My parents weren't and still aren't pround of the decision we made to have premarital sex but they dont love their little granddaughter any less!
Good luck sweetheart, you will be okay! I am proud of you for finishing your freshman year of college as well! They will come around, with time you will see!
Let me know if you need anything!
Congrats

Parents are often very disappointed to find their daughter is pregnant. Mine were. They are there for me now and we had found out we were pregnant again, and they are nothing but happy! (we never got married) It sounds like you are handling this well. Marriage was not the answer for us, but if you can make two major deals work at once, then more power to you. If your parents are stubborn thruout the pregnancy, just keep remembering that when that baby comes, they are going to love it to death. Enough to forgive you so that you can give them more babies! Lol, I know it's scary, but you hang in there. It sounds like you got a great boyfriend and great in-laws for support. Great in-laws are not easy to come across! Everything is going to be okay.

Every thing will be fine! Your parents just need more time to warm up to the idea of you being pregnant. You are a legal adult and a soon-to-be wife. They just need to understand that you are grown up now and they can't control what you do. Being pregnant is a wonderful thing and you shouldn't let anybody put negative pressure on you, it's stressful enough with out nagging parents (or anybody for that matter). Once your parents relize that this is just how its going to be things should be fine! Congratulations to you and your groom-to-be!!

I think it's really admirable that you are a bit young but are owning up to your responsibilites. You were going to get married anyways (not JUST because of the baby), but you are moving it up a bit, which is not unheard of. I'm sure your parents will come around eventually. Be glad that at least one set of parents are supportive...I also think its great that you are going to finish up at least your freshman year of college, & hopefully you will go back after the baby comes. Things will be fine, sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders!
Congrats!!

I got pregnant when I was 18, and again at 20. We are now married with 3 kids, and we couldn't be happier. People will always try and tell you that just because yal are so young that it will never work. Well, my husband and I have been together for almost 9 years, and everybody tried to tell me that we were making a mistake. No matter how old you are, having a family is work. You have to WORK to keep your marriage together, and you have to WORK to raise your kids right. Marriage is not easy, you have to work hard at it everyday!

If you are ready to get married go for it. I can understand wanting a family. I wanted one for so long, and now I am married and pregnant with twins. Your parents are just scared of losing you, trust me my parents were the same even though I was older. Your parents will come to understand it. They just need to get used to you being pregnant. Congratulations.

I know about 5 other women who did the same thing you are about to do (got pregnant, married quickly, etc.). Most of them are still with their husbands and have beautiful children. As long as you and your bf work hard, you can make this relationship last and be there for your child. Good luck!

everything will be ok, as long as u have that mentality then everythig will be fine! Ur parents may be upset, but you and ur fiance are taking responsibility & not taking the easy way out by having an abortion. Things may not go as smoothly as u can but thats what u have ur fiance for...you both need eachother right now. Your parents will come around
good luck & congrats

it will be fine. your gonna have a baby and your gonna be getting married. what a wonderful christmas present. your parents may be mad right now but its cause they love you and want you to have the best life ever. you will understand when you have your baby. just give them time to adjust to the news. once they see how responsible you guys are and how happy you are they will be fine. and once they meet their grandbaby they'll be hooked forever. you wont ever get them away from it. they'll love it so much. there just being parents right now. you may be 18 but your still their little girl and they want to protect you. im 19 and my parents do me the same way they make me feel like they think im a baby but in their eyes i am. as your child ages you will see how they felt. they feel like it was just yesterday they brought you home and now your making a life for your self and having a baby they feel like they have lost you. just spend time with them as much as possible and let them know how much you love them and want them apart of you and your upcoming husbands life and the child's life. they will slowly start to understand your grown up just give them time they love you.
god bless you
jesus loves you
good luck
congrats
