@HannahSupportBuddy
heyy! Everyone, my name is Avery or as everyone calls me patience, I was pregnant with a baby boy named Jonzion or as people call him JJ, last year! I gave birth to him December 11th 2023 at 15, any questions are open and I will be happy enough to answer them! š
@Patienceiscool
All the love to baby JJ and you š
@Patienceiscool congratulations, how are you and your baby doing now nearly a month on? Any tips for new moms?
@MistyMagic
thank you! Me and baby boy are doing pretty good, he had an appointment so I took him there and everything, he is very active at time but he also loves watching cartoons.
what I would say for new time moms is donāt worry itās all gonna be okay, none of us are perfect, I was terrified because I am a teen giving birth but everything turned out okay, I was so scared falling asleep. But I realized that momma needed her sleep too, so I would sleep for 30 minutes check up on him, then he would wake me up every hour so those newborn stage I hardly got sleep but I soon realized itās gonna be okay so when he was around 5 months old is when I started to get some more sleep. Jonzion had has lots of falls that donāt even hurt him and itās the way we reacted makes them cry so if they fall down which is gonna happen donāt react all big because they know it doesnāt hurt but now Iām hurt. Sleep schedules are a huge thing, but also co sleeping is okay, I had the mistake of co sleeping with JJ when he was 8 months old, and I am still having trouble trying to get him to sleep in his big boy bed, so if you are fine with co sleeping thatās fine but I wouldnāt recommend it especially as a first time mom. I hope those are enough tips but if not I will be more than welcome to give you some more!Ā
The sun was setting, and everything felt peaceful. I was curled up on the couch, my hand resting on my belly like always. It was our quiet timeājust me and her. I had been thinking about her a lot lately, picturing her tiny face, her little hands, and the way her name, Hannah, already felt like a perfect fit.
I had my journal open on my lap, writing her a little letter like I often did. I wanted her to know everythingāhow much I already loved her, how excited I was to meet her, and all the dreams I had for her life. The house was quiet except for the soft hum of a lullaby playing in the background.
And then, out of nowhere, I felt it.
A tiny flutter.
I stopped writing mid-sentence, my hand freezing over my belly. Did I just imagine that? I waited, my heart racing, holding my breath like the whole world had stopped for a second.
And then there it was againāthis time stronger, more certain.
āOh my goshā¦ Hannah,ā I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion.
Tears filled my eyes as I gently pressed my hand against the spot where she had just moved. It was like she was saying, Iām here, Mama. I felt this overwhelming rush of love and connection, stronger than anything Iād ever felt before.
I couldnāt stop smiling, even as I wiped away a tear. āI feel you, baby girl,ā I whispered. āI feel you.ā
That little kick changed everything. It made everything feel so real, so close, like she was already such a big part of my life. I sat there, hand on my belly, just soaking it all in.
It was her first little hello, and I knew Iād never forget it. Hugs to all. This means a lot to me.
@johnny66376
This is such a powerful story with lots of meaning and thought in it, thank you for sharing!
For the memories to look back on, celebrating Harmonyās First Birthday. Canāt believe itās already been a year ā¤ļøšāļø
@HannahSupportBuddy Awwwww congrats make sure to give her 1 hug for me

Hello my name is Marcie, Iām 17 and I recently gave birth to twin boys! Iām looking for other teen moms to connect and talk to for advice and support. I love these kids so so much but being a teen mom very isolating and difficult for me and I feel like Iām going crazy š„² itās hard to find people who understand what itās like. Iād really like to know, how do you cope with being a teen parent? What has helped you in your journey?
@marcy84 Congratulations! How wonderful, but what hard work too! How are you now, are you fully recovered yet?
Having one newborn can be a challenge but having two is double to trouble. Tell us about your babies :)
Have you any new moms groups near you? Although it can be very difficult during the first few months it can be so rewarding to meet new moms in person and to share with them.
What tips are you finding work for you now?Ā
@marcy84
Hi Marcie! (If it's okay to say,) congratulations on your sweet twin boys! š Itās so clear how much love you have for them, and that already makes you such an incredible mama. I know being a teen parent can truly feel lonely and overwhelming, but reaching out like this shows just how strong and dedicated you are. :)Ā
Itās okay to feel like itās a lotābecause it is! Finding support, whether itās family, friends, or other moms, can make a huge difference. And if you don't have that, know that you've got your little boys and yourself, as well the mums on cups. Even small moments for yourself, like a quiet shower, small workout, or a quick nap, can help you recharge. And donāt forget to celebrate the little joys, like their tiny gummy smiles (š„¹Ā ) or how much they need youāthat love between you and them is so special.Ā
If you havenāt already, see if there are groups or resources in your area for young momsāthey can be such a lifesaver! Youāre doing such a great job, even if it doesnāt feel like it some days. How have things been for you lately? Whatās been the hardest or most joyful part of this journey so far? Youāve got this, and youāre never alone. Us teen mamas are rooting for you, and we're happy we got to meet you on the forum! š
@marcy84

I felt very isolated went back to my old habits and I got help and now I am trying to be the best mother to my boy at 16 years old. I promise everything will work through! You can always to me or anyone else but just know we are here for you.
