Im 19 years old and so is my boyfriend and we've been dating for the past 4 years since 11/18/06. We've also been living together for the past 9 months in a beautiful apartment. He's such an amazing boyfriend to me and I'm madly In love with him. On Wed Jan 13, 2010, My boyfriend and I got the Best News of our lives, I'm Pregnant!!! I've never been so happy and excited In my life. I'm about 9 weeks pregnant and my due date Is September 22, 2010. Im so happy and excited to bring a beautiful baby Into my life and so is my boyfriend. My family and his family are very supportive and excited about us having a baby and so are my friends. 

There's just one problem, there are some people who won't leave me alone about me being pregnant. They have been saying such mean things about me, my boyfriend and the baby. This one girl just won't stop texting me, she hasn't texted me in awhile, but I'm thinking that the next time she does, I'm going to have to change my cell number. People can just be so mean and cruel these days, it's horrible. I personally think pregnancy is a beautiful thing. What should I do?    

if you were really mature to get pregnant, so be mature to face them or to just move on.

First of all, I want to say CONGRATULATIONS, on the news of your pregnancy, and it's really lovely that you are so proud, it's really nice to hear! :) First thing I'd say, is that the people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter. It is your life, and you are old enough to make the decisions you want to make. These people are jealous you have it made, everything is great for you! If they hassle you just say, "It's my life, my decision. You live your life, I won't judge you, and therefore you can't judge me." Then ignore them, they aren't worth your time. They'll stop if you ignore it hun. The people who matter (you, your boyfriend, your families and friends), as I said before, don't mind, in fact they are over the moon! No one else matters. :)
Good luck to you and your boyfriend, I hope everything goes fantastically, and that you enjoy your pregnancy and the baby, no matter what anyone says :) xx

I have had 3 of my friends get pregnant before they were 21 years old. They all had completely different reactions to the news.

If you are truly happy and excited, that is great! And it sounds like you have a great boyfriend and a supportive family!

Maybe these other people are jealous because you are so happy! But put yourself in their shoes too and try to figure out why they are upset! I know my sister would be pretty upset if she found out someone else got pregnant when it wasn't "their" time. She has been trying for years to get pregnant and has even down the fertility thing. So when she sees people who weren't even trying to get pregnant having babies, it kinda stings if that makes sense.

It is times like these where you are going to figure out who your friends are. And if this girl can't support you, then maybe it is time to cut her out of your life!

Whatever she is saying, whatever you do, DO NOT LISTEN TO HER! Pregnancy IS a beautifull thing, infact it is the one thing more beautifull than love itself, becasue it is when two people love eachother they decide to make a child from that love. You can block certain numbers by calling a number. i cant remeber what it is but you definately can, you dont have to stand for it. Phone your network provider or a helpline to ask them how to do it. And one more thing,, CONGRATULATIONS x

V.,

I know this is you. It's weird. We both use "Girls Guide To." Coincidence how I just happen to read it on my Facebook homepage, huh? I barely ever read those posts.

Anyway, I know you're not talking about me. Although, we had that huge argument in January. I don't even have your number anymore and haven't spoken to you or texted you since January so it couldn't be me.

I just want to let you know, I'll pretend this isn't you, you shouldn't be giving anyone else a second thought. When I was engaged in my senior year of high school, I was made fun of a lot. People told me DH was only marrying me for the deed, people would make gestures to me. It was disgusting, gross, immature and it hurt my feelings, for a second. It didn't stop me from getting married. I learned how to take the nasty remarks and gestures and throw them from my mind. You need to learn to do the same. You're bringing a child into this world. That child will depend on you FOR EVERYTHING. There's no time to worry about anyone else, not even yourself; your world and your boyfriends world will be about your baby.

I have no doubt you'll be a great mother. I do know it'll be hard for you guys at first, like every other new parents, but you'll pull through. It's a stressful and exciting time. In the end, you'll be great. It's a learning process.

Good luck and congratulations.

-S.

P.S. Although our friendship is over, and I don't count on truly gaining that friendship back (too much baggage for DH and I.), I do not wish evil upon you. Enjoy your new life.

Where do you live?!?

I'm asking 'cause in some countries yeah people can be mean

To be honest, don't worry about the rude ones or the non-believers, it isn't worth your time if you're happy. I'm currently 24 and 6 months prego. I get rude looks and comments all the time because I do look very young for my age. Apparently strangers think I'm around 18...I've heard them say it. Although it does bother me to a point, the only bothersome part is the fact that I don't look mature enough. Other than that, my husband and I couldn't be happier for our little boy on the way! So you know what?, don't worry about the haters. As long as you both are happy that's all that matters!

the reason people are doing this is because of your age and the fact that your not married. If this is your choice, then fine. People can think what they think, and you have to be mature enough to deal with it. If your happy, don't listen to what people are saying, ignore it. I'm sure your mature enough to do that.

CONGRATS :D.
What you need to do is legal work here hun, if she is harassing you, the best way to get it to stop is save the text messages and show an officer, garenteed she is just jealous. Then change your number

Don't listen to her or anyone else who is bothering you. It sounds like you have a very supportive family, supportive friends, and most importantly, a supportive boyfriend. If the harrassig gets to bad, it might be better to change your number.

Congratulations!! :)

First off, Congratulations!!!

Second off, I totally know where you're coming from with the stupid judgmental people. I was pregnant when I was 17 and I got the same crap you're getting. People are so stupid and judgmental because they think they know what's good for you better than you do, and because our stupid society has brainwashed everyone into thinking that women who get pregnant young and without being married are irresponsible, promiscuous, less-than-people. People will be close-minded, and they will judge you, but you know what? You're bringing a very-loved and very special little person into the world. You're learning what it's like to be a mother, to love someone more than you've ever loved someone before. Pregnancy is amazing... Your own body is nurturing and developing a brand new person. It sounds like you're as awed by it as I am :) You have all these people around you who do support you and love you and your little-one-to-be, so surround yourself with their positive attitudes and don't give the nasty people a second thought. You're living your life your way and they have no right to judge you for it.

On the subject of the girl harassing you... Try calling your carrier and asking if they'll block her specific number. Save the texts in case you need to use them as evidence against her if you need a restraining order or something. If that doesn't work you may well have to change your number. I can't believe someone would be self-righteous enough to harass you like that over something that isn't even any of her business...That just shows her weakness of character. Please try not to let people like her get to you because she isn't worth the attention she wants. Best of luck to you and your family!

I too am about 7 weeks pregnant and im only 20.

i've learned that over time all that matters is your friends and families support.. girls will be girls and it just seems that this girl is jealous.. and like someone else says.. if she keeps it up go to the police.. that's always the best option.

Congrats and good luck

I'm 20... I think I'm pregnant, but not certain yet. I would be SOOO happy though... Except the money. (Ha, and no 21st birthday for me... Which is a bummer, but there'd be plenty of time to do that later!) But I'd also not know what to do or how to tell my baby daddy or family. They'd freak, but... I know I'd keep my baby.

Cliche... But Madonna says it best:

"He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please"

Screw the people who won't let you do what you want. Tell them to screw off. It's done, over with and your happy! My girl friend is due in two months and she is 19. Her and her 20 year old Hubby are stoked! I am for them too. Bringing a baby into that is much better than a lot of older people who can't just be happy and try their best!

Good luck, sweetie! I'm so happy for you!

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm also pregnant, at 22. I see the looks i get from some people,it can be some-what upsetting. Even people that i work with judge me for being unmarried young and pregnant. but screw them! My bf and i are very happy to be having our baby, and that's all that matters. After all you shouldn't care what other people think.

Congratulationz!!i juz wanna say dat don worry abt such kind of pple..she might be jealous of u..live ure life n be happy n don worry abt such loserz.if ure family n ure bf supportz u den i don think u shud care abt anyone else..coz dey re da onez who ll be wid u 4rever n not dat dumb grl..lol.i wish u luck girl.

you guys haven't been together for 4 years. try 3 years and 3 months. you're a little off. just wanted to point that out.

If you dont have anything productive to say, then dont say anything at all.

Congrats on the baby!! Dont worry about the freak whose texting you, kay? :) Its YOUR baby, its YOUR. YOU and YOUR family are all super excited! Block that girls number and focus on yourself, your baby, and your bf. Maybe you should be thinking about a wedding. It doesnt have to be anything fancy if you dont want it to be. :)

Good luck hun!

I already said my advice before. I just needed to point it out. It was bothering me.

Oh, lulz, my bad :p sorry.

a hearty congratz for my littlegonna be mommy..
:D
its your life, you and your guy are happy, so let the crapsters crap.
and why you would change your number, are you afraid of her?
if it keeps on like this, talk to your boy friend and tell him to confront that bitch lol hehe

Congrats!!! That's exciting!
In my opinion I think that you should either block their numbers through the phone company or you should change your number. Some people don't get it... they need to grow up. It's ultimately up to you. Ignore them or block them. If you ignore them and don't respond they will get bored and move onto the next person to attack.
The other option is save the messages and turn the people in for harassment. Get a restraining order. This is a serious offense and they need to learn they can't do this and get away with it. But if you go this route then you HAVE to make sure not to contact them.
Have you told them to leave you alone? If you have then you can take it to the police.
Besides, this is a happy time and you don't need stress.
Stay strong girly! Focus on your new family (*:
