Video transcript
The day my life changed was when I took a pregnancy test. The result was positive. I couldn't believe it so I went to the shop and bought another test just to make sure. Four tests later and they all said the same result - I was pregnant.
My feelings were confused. I was shocked, but really happy at the same time!
Most of all I was scared as I didn't know how my Mam would react but she took it much better than what I thought she was going to.
Now I am 5 and a half months pregnant, everyone is excited. I'm having a little girl due on the 1st of April 2010. I can't wait to have her in my life.
The best thing about being pregnant is feeling her move, it lets me know that she's ok.
The thing I hate the most is the way people look at you when you're pregnant, like you're going to be a rubbish mam but they don't even know you, people shouldn't judge others by their age.
My baby will always come 1st in my life and I will always stand by her and give her lots of love. I'm going to bring my daughter up to respect other people.
After I've had my baby I would like to look after her full time then I would like to go onto training to build a better future for the both of us and to prove young mums can have a baby and still do well.
I can't wait to meet my baby girl!
being a good mum has nothing to do with age ,I was a young school girl and had a brother and sister and a new baby brother when my mum became very ill and I had to take over everything to make matters worse mum didnt want anyone to know so I got no help ,dad was a long distence lorry driver and I wouldnt see him from 1 week to another ,Id have to go and pick his pay up from the office Id cry at times as I struggeld to wash nappyies shop clean and look after 3 kids ,I got into a lot of trouble for missing school and still I couldnt explain why, after 3 years an auntie found out what was going on and steped in to take over so just before I was 15 I went back to school I loved my brothers and sister and tryed to do the best I could for them. I can tell by what youve wrote that you are grown up for your age and youve got a good head on your shoulders Iknow you will make a wounderful mummy enjoy your baby girl she is very lucky to have you for her mummy and when you have her be proud if anyone says anything unkind then they are more to be pittyed than laughed at and if anyone givesyou a dirty look then look away and look into your baby s pram and smile because they will never have what youve got . your not a bad girl,your not a slut or a slag your a very decent young lady I am getting on in years now but when I was very young a young local girls life was being made hell because she found out she was going to have a baby an old lady in the area called Dolly was very straight laced a reguar church goer that kind of thing,anyway one day Dolly was at her gate talking ti a few women when this girl went passed andall the women apart from Dolly started to mutter unkind things then Dolly piped up and said sshe is not a bad person or common and I can prove it ,well, all the women looked at Dolly and she said trodded grass never grows! I didnt know what that meant at the time but I do now,so my dear dont worry about anyone just your darling baby girl and yourself and its ok to take a bit of help of your mum.you have no control over what other people say or do but you do have control over weather you let it bother you .take it from an old lady there are more good folk than bad and the good ones who look at you will be thinking what great job your doing .I just want to wish you all the luck in the world not that youll need it .take care of yourself and dont waste your time on people or friends that arent true. you may have to wait longer fore reall friends to come along but dont give up because they will .as I said you come across as very grown up and I am sorry to say so people are so childish they never grow up. you have a woundrful life ahead go enjoy it ; Posted on 13/02/2012 at 22:51:44
