In my mid twenties but look 17!

kristajennex16 · April 2013

I shouldn't care what people think but I can't help it! I'm 25 and married, but look very very young. I am currently 14w2d and terrified for my belly to "pop" anymore. I should embrace my pregnancy body and glow but I can't help but worry what people are thinking or their judgments. Anyone else with this problem?

When I was 16 I had a 1 year old brother. I took him out a lot, everyone thought I was his mom. No biggie. Who cares what people think.
Also, you are married, people will see the ring. Problem solved.

i'm also 26 but people think i look no older than 18 or 19 it's ok..i'm not going to be worried about what other people or strangers think. why should i?

cinderin · April 2013

People always think I look younger than I am.

There are some things you can do to make yourself look older, but really? Meh.

The people that matter - your friends, family, coworkers, etc. Know how old you are and that you are married.

I'm 25 and married as well. I'm pregnant with my second at the moment. I had recently turned 22 when I had my first born.. So was 21/22 while pregnant. People looked at me funny, I can look younger as well. F what people think!!! Are you happy?? If the a

Look younger

katiebenes · April 2013

just embrace it. who cares how old you are or if you're married... unless someone sees you doing something that is really actually stupid while pg... then maybe their judgement matters

YOU know how ready you are YOU know you are happy about it

azzy1206 · April 2013

I'm 22 and married. Everyone thinks I'm like 15 and that my husband is my dad. Lol so when I tell them he's my husband they start asking questions about our age. But I don't care enjoy your pregnancy! You don't have to explain your self to anyone you don'

We will never be able to change/control what other people think.

PSU Export · April 2013

I felt that way even when I was 29 and pregnant with my first. In this area people are barely married by 30. Just think of it this way. Whether you're in your 20's or your 40's someone will always find a reason to pass judgement, depending on their backgr

vintageutopia · April 2013

Enjoy your pregnancy and your growing belly and who cares what strangers *may* think.

I can never imagine feeling "terrified" about what other people think about my choices. Well, unless I was prone to hiding bodies i

shelliescove3 · April 2013

mahnnis · April 2013

I am in the EXACT boat as you, I two am 25, married, and 14 weeks and two days---as of today. My husband is onlder than I am and looks it. I on the other hand look like I am 17 on a good day. I know it shouldn't bother me, when women look at m

afrochick09 · April 2013

when I was just a few weeks pregnant, I took my mom to a Doctors apt and waited in the waiting room. An older lady started chatting with me, because she thought I should be in High School and thought I was skipping (i'm early 20's). Through talking I ment

MissyCee · April 2013

I know how you feel. I'm 25 but apparently look like a teenager. I've had many people say they thought I was in high school. I just laugh about it, it doesn't matter what other people think and I'd rather look young than old! Plus, if they paid attenti

monikamc83 · April 2013

I feel the same way. I'm just about 30, but I look like I'm 21 at most and I'm married and my husband is younger (24). So with my bump popping out I feel like where ever we go we get the looks like we should have used protection lol even though it took

Marvel1013 · April 2013

I commented earlier.. But I still find it strange.. No matter what age, that people don't love there belly. I know everyone's different ad all that, but its your baby in there.. You should love it no matter what. I go out in fitting shirts now, my belly s

I was 24 when I had my twins. My husband and I both look young and we would always get a lot of looks. A lot of times when I am with my mom people think that my girls are hers. I guess that must make me the nanny or something I don't know. People are weir

kristajennex16 · April 2013

Thank you all for your encouragement and advice, it's wonderful to know that I'm not alone and it's natural to worry about others opinions.

kokiri · April 2013

Personally, I think people who judge pregnant teens are [jerks] - you never know what a person's situation is, much less every relevant detail. All the more reason to ignore the stone-throwers.

Soleil3 · April 2013

Everyone thinks they look younger than they are, and very very rarely do they in actuality.

JBrooks315 · April 2013

Yup. I am frequently told how much I look so much younger than 21, a couple going as far as saying I could pass for like 13-14....

And I'm not really showing that much yet, but even so when I am in the baby section I catch some dirty looks.</

thedash · April 2013

My mom had me right after she turned 32 but she is tiny and has always looked young. She gots lots of comments while pregnant and when I was a baby. People told her it was a shame she married so young and that they hoped her parents were helping with the

EMunion777 · April 2013

I've always looked younger than my actual age too. When I was looking for a place to have our wedding reception I was speaking to someone at one location and they responded with "yes and we also throw 16th birthday parties here too." -_- If I were 16 why

seaheather24 · April 2013

When I had my son I was 31, and was always asked if I was the nanny. I remember being insulted by the assumption. I am 35 now and no one can ever believe it. It was a bigger issure when I was your age, I would get asked for second forms of id. Enjoy your
