teen mums and kids of teen mums

hey i was wondering if you are/were a teen mum if your mum was too?

also if your mum was a teen mum and you are not?

cause of the statistics they say that kids of teen mums are more likely to become one themselves so i was curious how often that happened

thanks for answering smile

Hi! My mum was a teen mum (had me at 19) but I was not a teen mum. I had my first baby at 22! A good thing about my mum being so young when she had me is that she has plenty of energy to enjoy her grandchildren! Well, sometimes!

I am a teen mum 18 when I had my little girl , but my mum was not a teen mum she was 29 when she had me(her first child) So I don't think its really an accurate Statistic more so thing of Chance

my mother started having children at 16 (married to my father)and there are six of us.
None of us were teen mothers.

My mum was 16 when she got pregnant with me (had me when she was 17) and I got pregnant with my 1st baby at 21...

I don't really think there is any link between the ages smile

I was almost 19 when I had my first, My mother, grandmother and great grandmother all had there first before they were 21...so in our family at least that theory is somewhat correct....but in my Nan and Great Nans day it was very common to marry at 18-19 and fall pregnant pretty much straight away. My eldest DD plans to complete university before she has children so she may break the family mold.

I had my first baby while I was a teenager but my mother was in her mid twenties smile

i was a teen mum had my first boy at 17 my mum was not a teen mum tho

my mum had me when she was 16. I had my first when I was 24.

I had my first baby while I was a teenager but my mother was in her mid twenties smile

My mother had me when she was 18 but I had dd when I was 23. However my sister had her 1st at 17 and her second at 18. I don't however agree with the statistics though.

I know it doesn't really fit on here but funnily enough my mum was 23 when she had me and I was 23 when I had my first.
