Weekly Discussions - Week 12. Telling your Parents #1

Hey!
We have now started a new series of posts, Telling your Parents, we got inspired by this when we had the chance of talking to a mother of a pregnant teenage daughter. We asked her for some advice from a motherly's point of view, like how do tell your parents, she said you shoud tell your parents, they may seem upset but they love you no matter what and they'll want to help you, actually she wrote a couple lines for us
" Its pretty hard to handle but you love her no matter what. I think girls are more drama than a boy but you have to teach her to communicate or she will just shut you out."

Some other pointers she gave us on this matter is that you have to know your parents, there are no rules on how to tell your parents, you have to know your parents, follow your heart and brain if you do this then you'll be fine. Again even if your parents seem upset or angry at first give them time, remember you also had to give time to yourself to get used to this, maybe you haven't had enough time for yourself. The same way you want your parents to be understanding of this situation you have to be understanding of them.

Don't forget you can always email us or leave in a comment suggestion for weekly discussions or a new post. Also send us questions, we will try and answer them, also if we feel like it may help other girls we will do a post with the question and our answer so other people can comment with their thoughts on the question.

Thank you<3

Weekly Discussions - Week 4. Baby Centers

Hey Girls!!!
This weeks discussion topic will be baby centers. Have you ever enroled yourself in a  baby center?


We have been reading stories about teen mums and have been given so much adivice at  http://www.babycenter.com/
Some of the stories we have been reading are the following:
13 and Pregnant (Our favourite)
14 and Pregnant
16 and Pregnant
6 Years Later

We believe a baby center is ideal for teen mothers because it provides information you will need in order to proceed with your pregnancy for example what you may feel, what size is the fetus, etc. And once you have the baby, nap times, breast feeding and much more. They will send you emails with updates and useful tips for you. It also has communities where you can join clubs, this is for us one of the best parts of a baby center, there are actually teen mothers that asked for advice and there was a lot of positive response. Members aren't judgmental, they give there experience and useful tips and advice.


We have collected a couple quotes people have said in response to ten mothers for example:
"When I got pregnant I changed I went from failing every class to straight A's."

"Listen sweetie, You are going to have to face the drama."
