Just be yourself I had my eldest at 18 x

Oh bless you!! The bottom line is, when you're a parent, it doesn't matter how old you are or how rich you are or how perfect you are, people are always going to judge you. The best thing you can do is love that baby the best you can! Unfortunately, all parents are judged, but as long as you are happy and doing what you can, you are doing just as perfectly as any other parent in the world!
You are going to smash it and what anyone else thinks doesn't matter in the slightest!!
In terms of advice, every new parent no matter how old needs a good support system, whether it's family or friends or groups and clubs, so just try and make sure you have people around you where possible xx

My sister gave birth at 16, finished her GCSES just before giving birth, went to college once baby was born, the father was never really in the picture. All her friends left her, But as her family we stood by her & helped her through it all. She blossomed into an amazing mother & now is 24, engaged with 2 children.
Try not to be scared, although it’s ok to be, it’s natural to be. For any age, but remember you will transform with you baby. You’ve got this 🤍

thank you so much I’m struggling because my family have cut me off and don’t want anything to do with me and baby xx
