Hi. Im new here. my son is 3 months and 13 days old today. and im worried that i might be pregnant again. im 18. i was 17 when i got pregnant the first time. if i am pregnant again it would be almost exactly a year from when i got pregnant before.
this is too much too soon. ive only just started out with little Malik and im not ready for another one.
I guess i should count my blessings though. i mean im not single. im engaged. and not just because we had a baby together. if that were the case we wouldve married while i was pregnant. i have a wonderfully loving supportive hard working fiance. we have our own place, although we are struggling with the bills. but most couples do struggle in the beggining.
but if i am pregnant again i dont know what ill do. i mean how can i face my family. they handled the first pregnancy pretty well. probably because he was a first for a lot of my family. a first grandchild and great grandchild and great great grandchild ( my great grandparents are still alive and in extremely good health too ). so my sons birth was exciting for a lot of people. but if i have another child now . . .
i just want to take my fiance and my son and move somewhere far away and not tell anyone where we are going. not my family or my friends ( what few i still have left ). if i could do that then i would be happy i was pregnant. then it would be okay. does anyone else know how i feel?

Wow! I don't know how you feel but my sister sure does! Lets back up for a second. I got pregnant when I was seventeen had the baby when I was eighteen. My sister not too long after I had my son announced she was pregnant. She had her little one 13 months after my son was born~she was seventeen. Now she just told us that she is pregnant again. She will have this new one not but a few weeks to a month around the same time she had her first. We ALL live with my mom, including my youngest sister...who thank god is not pregnant! So there is my 16 yr old sister, my now 18 yr old sister with her 5 month old son, boyfriend, and baby on the way, myself and my 18 month old son in my house! But my mom handled the news of the new baby really really well. I was more upset than my mom was! =) Parents are always there for you and you are so lucky to have a supportive fiance. Yes do count your blessings! Best of luck and I hope to hear from you! If you need anything just email me here!
