Take it somewhere else ladies! These mum's to be may be young but by their comments they sound as if they really do want to take care of their babies when they are born. Age does not determine maturity, I am 17...I live with my boyfriend, I get on extremely well with my 'in laws,' my mother has come around to the idea of us, and yes we are both working full time (I've finished school)! Still not told anyone I am pregnant, but to be honest, I'm bloody looking forward to it. I know I can give this baby a good life. And to those teenage mothers WHO DO expect their mother to look after their baby and rely on welfare/dole....GET YOUR HEAD OUT YOUR ASS! AND GROW UP! First thing any young expectant mother should do is get a job! hahah this is just ridiculous. i agree mel and jodie are being extremely immature considering they are not even teens themselves..seeing as the majority of people that have posted are indeed teenagers.

Just do your very best in raising your children! unless you were a teen mom-you should keep your mouth shut. i had my son when i was 17, graduated from high school early, got a full-time job, bought my own house, and started back in school again to get a job in the medical field. my boyfriend and i have been together for 7 years (i’m 22 now) and are expecting our 2nd child in may 2011. no, you will not have a fairy-tale life and you can forget about partying with your friends every weekend if you want to be a decent mom, but a teen mom can be just as good (if not better) than a mom of any other age. not every teen mom leaves their child with their mother to watch-some actually step up to the plate and take care of their responsibility so you cannot judge us all the same. good luck to all of you girls-keep your heads up and don’t let anyone ever put you down.

My daughter is 3 and i'm expecting my second. All you need is to try and believe and everything will be fine. Just think of the baby and the life that is expected for it and you'll know what to do. Best wishes to you and your babies. I know you can do it. We all can, for the child's sake. oh yeah-Congrats!! <3 And to the teens above-I was a young mom as well.

All I have to say is that what you said is pretty low, and you don't know what each person's story is. Being harsh and ruining someone's hope and excitement about bringing a special little angel into this world is cruel and not impressive. Honestly I believe that if they try, everything will work out. Some people are more mature and responsible than others. And also sometimes being young and having a child and being able to attend all of their most special moments throughout life is better than trying to concieve wgen your on the verge of menopause. In that case you'll be alive for half the child's life or possibly less. I don't know about you, but MANY of the grandparents and great grandparents out there got married and pregnant around 16 and everything worked out for them. I really think you should keep all hurtful thoughts to yourself. There isn't anything 'cool' about crushing someone's hope and breaking their heart all because of your own beliefs. Wow, Jodi.

I work in the the ER in a large metropolitan area and I have become disgusted with the number of pregnant teenagers that are out there. Yes, you will be fine becuase your mothers will end up raising your children and then you will raise your grandchildren. Congrats for continuing this sad cycle. Give your children up for adoption so that they can have a better life. Then you, who are children yourselves, can continue to have a childhood. I agree with Jodi.

While you can certainly feel body parts on the pregnant woman's belly, you will never 'see' feet in this detail. The uterus is about 1 inch thick muscle, on top of that there is dermal fat and then skin. Sadly, there is no way the little toe detail could be seen through this. I am a doctor and deal with pregnant women almost every day. If you don't believe me, try this; Push you hand up from under your heavy, winter bed comforter. Can you see every little detail? Didn't think so. Cute concept though. As cute as the photo it, it is a fake.
