You’re doing amazing girly!! I had my son at 15 (3 weeks before my 16th birthday) my son’s father hasn’t been involved either! My son is almost 9 and is my bestfriend & a total mamas boy! You can message me at anytime if you feel comfortable! I’m 24 years old now and 27 weeks with my 3rd! I’m in college and pursuing my dreams! Even though you are having a baby young- it DOES NOT ruin your life!

Awe my birthday is April the 21st as well. I just turned 28 weeks

I'm very very proud of you Hun, don't let peoples negativity ever impact you. Watch how all the haters will change face when you have your son. Never forget how they treated you when your pregnant because switch face fast after a baby is born. Your doing really good, form experience my mom had me an smt brother when she was 15, she didn't take care of us and abandoned us for a bit. You are such a Trooper, and I'm proud that you have stood your ground. Remember there are worse people out there. Your son will always look up to you and love you. I'm also a first time Mom and I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant. Message me anytime!
