Tell us all about the good and the bad of your life as a teen parent. Articles published on this site by anyone other than the editor do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of the editor. Each author is entitled to their own opinions and they do not have to be the same as the editor's. And you are either scared to death, or excited like you've never been before in your life. Either way, don't be surprised to watch the mother of your baby become someone you totally do not know and who you would never like to know again.
Labor is an intensely powerful and, truthfully, painful experience.
It can be very hard for you when the mother of your child is in pain, or if she seems upset at you. If you are still a couple, you may very well be in the labor and delivery room. One thing to keep foremost in mind is that however the baby's mom is acting now, it should be disregarded. Others may demand you leave the room. And still others may become quiet and docile, refusing to speak to anyone.
