Hi I'm 18 and have a four month old. It was not planned. Her mom is not part of our lives she is not allowed contact with either of us.

Sounds like you're happy about it, cool, don't waste all your energies now though, you have 18 years ahead of you.

It's a hard life but u gotta do what u gotta do right. My daughter got here through no fault of her own she deserves to be taken care of like any other baby. How is college going for you?? I'm still in high school but next year I'm going to college. I had been planning on a football scholarship but had to give up football. I never worried about college money before because my dad was gonna pay for anythig a scholarship didn't cover, my dad has plenty of money but he kicked me out cuz of the baby and cut off all ties with me so I'm on my own now and I've been saving for college but with all the expense of a baby I don't have much saved. I'm hoping to transfer to a 4 yr college at some point but I'll just start at community college next year since it's local and cheaper. But I don't know how I will get by because besides money I worry about time. I'm trying to keep my grades up so I can graduate high school with a good gpa but it is so hard to have any time to study and when I finally do I'm usually so tired I fall asleep (only to be woken up by my daughter crying)

How do you get the money to support them? Not to judge or anything, just curious.

Aww, me too I'm 17 and have a son named Alton. He's my little lady's man

first, I never knew college was free in the um! I'm moving! lol

and second, congrats on your boys! you sound like a great mom!

Hey I'm 18 and have a 6 month old baby girl, and am pregnant with number two. I love kids and my boyfriend has a job, I figure I want to have my two kids young, then by the time I'm 20 I can have my nice body back. =) Me and my daughters dad aren't working out anymore though. Anyway, being a mommy is fun, especilly seeing the smiles!

All the best.

Being an expectant mom is exciting. I don't think anyone really understands until they are put into the situation and even then some don't see. You just need to see things positively. Yes its hard, yes financial problems ect. But that doesn't mean you can't be happy. My Ella is the most important thing to me despite her not being born yet. She is the best thing to ever happen to me. I love her.

Just to avoid confusion, college in the UK is like the last two years of high school in america. when we're 18 we go to university, which is the same as college in the USA and we have to pay for uni.

Well done hun though for staying at college with two L/O's

I'm fourteen and I just got knocked up. Is it actually that easy, being a 'mum'? x

It's the most difficult, but rewarding job
