I don't know you or anything, but if you are talking about not having an abortion then you are absolutely doing the right thing. Life is always better than death, even for a baby. Great job!!

I am sorry that your mom did not react well to the news. did she give you any explanations as to why she was against it? You have decided to be a momma and noone should down you for that. You get yourself together and healthy and make this baby your number one priority. The only person you have to impress in life is your child. By the way amy..it is me julie. I changed my screen name.

If our mom doesn't give you support yet, give her time. It always takes parents time. But she'll likely come around.

Yes, yes, yes no matter what keep the baby! Talk to me any time about this, I am here to give you support. ;)

you are doing the right thing and you will be very happy once you look upon the child's face and you will know that you were right.

I know what you're going through. My dad didn't talk to me for 4 or 5 months after I told him I was having/keeping a baby. But he got over it, and now we're closer than ever. I'm sure your mom will do the same. btw, congrats!

She might be mulling over it for a bit hun before she says something. A baby is a major life change and is very financially draining. Give your mum a bit of time, she'll talk to you when she's ready I'm sure

Amy I don't know you, but I think if you feel it in your heart than this is the right thing to do. I was 18 when I had my 1st child and he was the most amazing thing in the world to me. Now I have three amazing young men. They are 22, 21, and 18 and it was worth it. I know that my situation was different I got married 1/2 way through my senior year and found out two months later that I was pregnant. So I graduated high school married and 5 months pregnant.

If you ever need to talk I am a good listener.

Have to admit don't understand your mom, I can't wait to be a grandma, but I know that when they are ready it will happen. I am sure she will come along. My dad did.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
