Wow, it is so great to find other young moms who don't want to raise their baby in front of the television. I got pregnant with my son 18 and had him at 19. I'm 21 now, and all of my friends with babies let them watch Barney or something all day long. Even when my mom keeps him, when he comes back all he wants to do is watch tv and I've told her how I feel about it. It just makes me so mad.

I got pg with DS when I was 18 (had him at 19) then got pg with DD when I was 20 and had her right before my 21st birthday. Now I am due with our 3rd baby in the next 3 weeks...right before I turn 23. I don't know really any AP moms my age at all...I think due to lack of education on the subject most young moms just go with what seems easiest.

[CalebsMama05]

Lydia-your dd is just a couple of weeks younger than my ds1.

I'm really new here, can someone tell me what ds, dd, ap, etc. means?

DS=Darling, dear (terms of endearment unless you're feeling fiesty )
DD=Darling/dear daughter
AP=Attached Parenting

There is a sticky about the abbreviations in the questions area I think.

I am 31, My son is 13.

I concieved at 17 and had him at 18.... Back then people all thought I was crazy to have a kid at that age. My mom went balistic and wanted me to give him up for adoption. : She kinda kicked me out and I lived with the babies dad,, my boyfrind who is now my hubby, we have been together for 17 years and still going strong. I have infertility and PCOS and so I would have had alot more babies after my son if I could but now long story short, he is 13 and awesome. I just want to say Kudos to young moms everywhere. Yall ROCK!

Luckly, being on a military base on the other side of the world, I don't have to deal with the scorned looks from being so youg. Tons of the moms here are young too. I don't get along with most of them though, because, unlike most of them, I left high school when I graduated. They act like they are still living in it. Did I mention I hate life drama?

It is hard connecting with people like me. I am a liberal, vegetarian crunchy mama in a conservative, mainstream sphere. Most of the women who are anything like me are old enough to be my mom and I have problems relating to them outside of children. The ladies my age are either without kiddos or have them but want to party all the time. I must be a freak for not wanting to drink myself silly all the time!

I love being a young mama because I get to spend all my excess energy on my DD. I like being able to still climb into the playplace with her and not be short of breath! (Well when I wasn't pregnant at least)

My DH says that he is done having kiddos and I am going to respect that, but if it was up to me..............there'd be at least four in this house! I love kids!

YES! i'm on Kadena AB on Oki the millitary is ike HS but worse..... anyways got knocked up at 18 by DH now i'm 20 and DD is 6mo im kinda itching for another... not gunna happen.. yeh

why is that?

ds2 is almost 8m/o and I'm definately wanting another babe. I don't want to wait...but sometimes I really DO want to wait...so we wait. we wait until I want another one ALL the time. probably be awhile anyways cuz my lp is only 8d right now

[dimibella]

Hey mamas!! I was 19 when we had DS, DH (DBF back then) was 21, 22 when we got pg with DD, 23 when we had her and I am now 24, DH is 26 and we are ttc #3. I always wanted to be a young mama and wouldn't trade it for the world. I was always the little mommy, it has always come very naturally to me. I constantly get bugged eyed looks for being a young mom, but I have to say that I lool like I am about 14, and the great thing is that those bug eyes are usually followed by comments on how well behaved and cute my children are and how I must be a good mommy. Sooo happy to find this tribe!! Looking forward to posting more often!

Hello ladies I just have to join in! I'm Crunchy Catholic AP mama in Maryland. I've been married for going on 3 years. We have a one year old daughter and a 5 month old baby girl & AF is three days late - so another one in December!!!!!!! Oh, and I'm 19 I work from home as a paralegal and love my life! I look forward to chatting with you mommas!

[ksera05]

Hi everyone!

I guess I'm a young mom too. I graduated college in '05, got married 1/06 at 21yo, got pregnant on purpose a few months later, then had DD last summer 16 weeks early at the age of 22. She spent 16 weeks in the NICU, you would not believe the agism that was present there, it seemed like a lot of nurses were absolutely shocked that I was married and knew what I was talking about, or that she was planned, because 22 year olds just don't plan babies. It was so annoying.

Anyway, good to see a tribe! although some of you make me feel old
