  • Oh My!

    That is shocking! How is she doing with it all? Has she made any choices about the baby?

  • Eek - oh, that is so young :( I hope she has some good support.
  • Oh wow!  What a hard road for something that young.

    I know several doulas who do teen births for free.  If she wants some references, let me know.

  • Surprise

     i could be super snarky here and go oh well .. that's antioch for you but i won't.

    i wish her the best with whatever decision she chooses .. a baby is an enormous responsibilty for a grown 30something let alone someone half her age.

     Ok first of all, where the hell do you get off?  Second of all...she lives in Alaska smartass.

  • Everyone else not being rude, they are more than likely keeping the baby.

    Ditto and WTF? 

    Way to make some ASSumptions.

  • I have to say, that really just breaks my heart.  She's so young!  I wish her nothing but the best and I'm sending lots of prayers to her and her family.

    Ah well, that's Marin County for ya. Confused

    Now I don't feel so bad for judging you for feeding your 4 month old chocolate sauce.

  • It is absolutely heartbreaking.  I honestly hope she decides to either give the baby up for adoption or terminate the pregnancy.  She has absolutely no chance if they keep the baby.

    That really sucks that she has to make that decision. I hope that she gets the guidence and support she needs.

    that sounded wrong. What i mean is I hope no matter what her decision is, even if its keeping the baby, that she has the support and guidence.

    Wow.

    If this is the case, it will be a tough road.  Definitely possible to have a happy ending though.  My job allows me to work with a lot of young moms and one of the first things I do is to link them to Brighter Beginnings.  See if they have something similar to this program where your cousin lives; they help with a multitude of things...parenting classes, support in finishing school, getting linked to social services, etc.

  • Ugh, what a tough situation for her.  That is so young.  Lots of prayers...
  • Such a young age to be dealt a big decision.  I pray that she has the support from those that love her to help guide her in the best possible decision for her and this baby....whatever that choice may be.

    My thoughts are with her.

  • Wow what a tough hand to be dealt. I am with everyone else who has said they hope she has lots of support. Amanda, I know this is family but many times when young teens get pg there are other factors happening too: abuse, rape, or even molestation. I am not saying that is the case here but I am saying you might want to look closely just in case. Big Hugs to your whole family, I hope what ever she decides it still gives her a fighting chance of having a life too.

     

  • I"m sorry for her and saddened by the horrible comment above.  (although quite enlightening about her true feelings).
    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

  • Oh gosh, poor dear. Hugs to your niece. I can't even imangine having to deal with pregnancy that young. It's hard enough to deal with when you're an adult.
