  Welcome and congratulations!
  
  Sorry you're having a difficult time and feeling alone. I'm not sure if there are many teen moms here?? But there are a lot of really awesome and supportive ladies on this board if you chose to stay. Good luck to you!

  I'm 19! Also my first pregnancy and I'm having twin girls! I actually don't have much input for feeling alone, seeing as I've been out of high school for two years, engaged and we live on our own and all of my friends are engaged/married and/or have/are having babies, but The Bump is an awesome place to be! Lots of support here! Welcome!

  Welcome! I was a teen mom. I had my first a few days shy of turning 16. I remember feeling alone and scared out of my mind! Your not alone. I'm 30 with my 4th on the way and I feel alone sometimes too!
  
  Stick around, and ask questions if you feel up to it. There is allot of support here!
  
  I was actually getting on to see if anyone has heard from the other teen mom @Lindsey16 I think her screen name is.
  I haven't seen her in a while. .... And I've been wondering How's she's doing and holding up.

  Hi! Second time mom (STM) at 21. My first was a set of boy girl twins just two days after turning 20. It does get lonely but luckily this is a great group of awesome gals and I hope you find support and don't feel too lonely anymore! The age range is great for all perspectives so don't be shy!

  I was a teen mother, i know the feeling. Dont be afraid to be happy and enjoy this experience and enjoy your baby when he/she gets here. Reach out and you will find people to lean on. That was nine years ago, and now im pregnant with my second and still struggling with the feelings i had during the first pregnancy. Dont stress about others consentrate on being the best mother you can be!!

  I'm 18, pregnant with my first and I get that feeling sometimes too. I try to focus on the baby and what I need to do for her but I know it is easier when you have people around your age that are going through the same thing to talk to. I'm due January 29 (:

  Congrats on your pregnancy. I just turned 19 and I'm on my first baby. Though I have several people around my age having kids . So I don't know that exact situation. But I'm sure there are local support groups for young mothers around your area. Just do your best, and I'm sure you'll do fine.

  Hi Mia, congrats to you! I've just turned 20 in September & at 29 weeks expecting our first child. I grew up in Toronto but now reside in SK! Loneliness is an awful feeling especially if your friends aren't at that stage in life where a baby is their priority. I also had a terrible time in the beginning and had a stressful first trimester but you know what? Your baby will be your next bestfriend, your motivation to keep things positive and just know that you're doing something maybe most girls are scared to do. Be strong, you have a lot of support from us. We are mothers and that's a friendship we all understand. Loneliness is temporary, your baby is here for you always. If you'd like to talk I'm more than willing to lend an ear.

  I know how you feel! I'm also
  seventeen and pregnant with my first. I had to drop the few friends I did have because I just didn't feel like they understood what I was going through. So you're definitely not alone! Congratulations!!(:

  Aw, I didn't realize we had so many younger/teen mom lurkers. Hi, everyone!

  
  

  I hope you all have tons of support at home and/or with your significant others (if there is one in the picture), and I wish you all the best of luck. 

  
  

  Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions around here.

  I was 4 months away from 19 years old when I gave birth to my son. I just turned 28 and am expecting my 2nd.  I went to school full time and worked as a teachers aid full time as well. My sons dad worked a lot and travelled a lot for work/jobs. He wasn't around much the first few months after he was born so I was very much a single parent at that time. My son was a miracle to us, and we couldn't have loved him anymore that we do. He is a happy healthy 9 year old now, and is very happy to be a big brother ( although he still has hopes she is a boy lol. But he will love her either way).

  I know it is hard having a child so young, especially the judgment you get from other people. And so is being the first out of your friends to have a child, and not having people around who understand what you are going through. This BMB is a good community with tons of good and practical advice, and members. I wish when I was pregnant with my first I had a community like this to be a part of. I hope you feel comfortable around here to ask questions and participate. You are definitely not alone.

  Also congratulations!

  Welcome to the young moms club! I just turned 20 yesterday so I'm right there along with you about feeling young! I understand about feeling along no one tells you pregnancy can be very very lonely when all your friends are out partying! Let any of us know if you need anything I'm 30 weeks and still trying to 100% figure this board out!
