Pregnancy Info HOME

I understand...well I am 20 years old, 28 weeks pregnant with a boy and recently moved back home with my parents in August. It was very upsetting because I was about to go and move into my own apartment in the city I was attending college in. I was about to be officially on my own as before I was living in the dorms. I had to leave the city and my college because my fiance was abusive and I thought the abuse was over but he started up again and I 'fessed up to my parents and they came to get me. I was working back in the city I attended college so I had to quit my job so right now I'm just going to school full time. I have to ask my parents for money, THEY will be buying all the stuff for MY baby, and it's all VERY upsetting. It's really frustrating and I get where you're coming from when it feels like you're a teen again.

Keep doing what you are doing honey.......you are doing your best and that is all that matters. Have you thought about going back to school? I don't know what your profession is now..but maybe you could go back to school for a job that pays a little better? Take care and try not to let your parents get to you. Everthing will work out in time!

Well I am back with my mom, Im 27 and 12 weeks preg. It sucks! I love my mom dearly and she's the best, but I'm used to being independent. I would love to find a roommate to get an apartment with, I just started looking on this website the other day, but the trust issue is scary, and I also know if I left then I'd be giving up my part time "free" babysitter. So its a hard choice, but I know one day it will all be behind me.

Tryinghard - I feel you I recently moved back home with my parents for the purposes of going to school. I left home seven years ago and its such a big adjustment my mom absolutely drives me crazy becauses she nags me about everything. I feel I need to find an apartment but know I can't afford it. I have an 8 year old and most of the nagging comes from little things she does. In a effort not to be at my mom house all the time I would go over my daughter's grandmother's house (the dad's mom). Either way here I am again pregnant again it only takes one time right? And we used a condom. Either way hang in there. Have you ever looked into housing options in the state you live in. Most places the median income for the county is well beyond the average person yearly salary and they offer rental a__sistance. Just an option. Not welfare but what they call an effort to create affordable housing. Take care.

I know exactly where ur comin from, I got pregnant when i was 18 and had him when i was 19 and I'm 20 now, was living with one of my friends so i had to move back home cause I could not afford it. At the time I'm still livin with my parents, my son is 9 months old and its really hard. Yes I loved the extra help, but sometimes too much can be too much. I always feel like I can't raise my son the way I want to raise him with my mom nagging me all the time. It kinda feels like she's trying to take over my life. I just cope with it cause I know someday I will be able to get my own place and raise my kid the way I want to raise him. But for now my mom and dad are there to support me and I don't know where I would be without them
