Question: Hello! I just have this little complicated thought running through my head, because I think I may be pregnant, though still waiting for the AF.. which is killing me! I got a very faint + when I took a preg test not that long ago.. but I want to be 100% sure of whether or not I am.. ANYWHO! I think of myself as a bad person right now for thinking this and at the same time.. I feel as if it doesn't matter. How soon is too soon to have your next child? I think my problem is my mother, whom seems to think I am a complete moron when it comes to children.
I had my daughter when I was 18.. so in that sense, in my own personal opinion, I am an idiot for not starting a career or something first, BUT, things happen!! So.. I am now 20.. just turned last month, so it's been a little over a year since my daughter was born, she is now 16 months. Such an adorable bundle of joy!! :D But.. I have to ask yet again, how soon is too soon to have your next child..? I think I am just afraid of my mother judging me once again, because I am her bad child (not that I am, just I have not made the wisest of choices in my past.) and she doesn't want me to mess up my life again.
For me as my own person and doing MUCH better with my life (school starts next month, and I have two jobs) do you think it is too soon to have another child? I wasn't planning on having another for awhile, but, if I do get a BFP, not much I can do about it, that and I would be SO happy! What is your opinion?? ?
Answer: it's your life, not your moms and if she can't be at least supportive of your situation, then why bother including her? let her know you don't need her approval, just her support. =
Answer: You don't sound like a "bad kid" , you had a child early (so what, alot of people do) you work and go to school. It's not like you're freeloading! Medically, they recommend pregnancies be between 16-18 months apart. I have seen people that were pg with their second child by the time they went for their 6 week ob appt after having their first child!(I worked for a federal assistance program). Your mother will judge you regardless if she has already labeled you as the bad kid. Try not to let her get to you, if you are happy, that's what matters. =
Answer: You are all right.. thank you! I do know people have kids early.. I have a couple of friends who were 16 when they had their first, and I know of someone who was 15 when she first got pregnant. Oi. But really.. it is my life, and I am happy.. thank you everyone! :) =
