Reading over the comments so far....I think you are getting some really good advice here.

Yes, you made a huge mistake.....we all make mistakes....those with the horrible comments toward you have probably made some even more huge mistakes in their lives....just different ones....but it doesn't make them any better or in a place to criticize you. I got pregnant when I was married after I was 24 & close to getting my degree....I planned on never having children, so my mistake was also a mistake & to me, just as huge.

The thing is that children are special & they are meant to be....planned on unplanned.....they are special & pregnancy should be treated that way. I know it's probably family that is giving you the worst time & they aren't easy to avoid.......but keeping pride in yourself & focusing on your yourself, your baby & your pregnancy is the most important thing. It's also important at your age, not to let having a child get in the way of making something out of your own life. Going through this will give you the strength of character to go through life & get through things you never thought you could get through....& when you have your child.....it will be even more learning & growing in your abilities & strengths.

Don't let them tear you down.......when you get through this & are stronger for it....they will be the ones stuck in their petty world while you end up making something of yours & being more of a good person than they will ever be able to be.

Take care of yourself....it isn't easy to deal with words....especially if you feel some of them towards yourself in the first place......but you will be fine & so will your baby.

Keep your head up & ears close to those who tear you down,
Debbie
