Hi Stacie.
I'm sure there are many young mothers here. I was 22 when I delivered my first at 35 weeks. However, at the time I didn't know enough about being pregnant to be worried, and he did just fine. I was 32 when I delivered my last one at 33 weeks (I should have been 33y/o. Oh well.), so, I am of course a little older. However, many of the mothers in the NICU with us were young mothers. I remember one in particular; I don't know the details behind her daughter's birth, but she was at about 32 weeks, due the same day as my Samantha. I think when you are so young, you just envision many years of childbearing ahead of you, and when things turn out differently, it is a very major disappointment, whether you intended to have a houseful of kids or not.
Sorry, I can't be any younger, (wish sometimes I could! LOL!) but here's a big {{HUG}} for you.
