I got pregnant at 14 and it was horrible – I was expecting my second by 17 and people judged me all over again

A MUM-of-two has revealed the differences between being pregnant aged 14 and 17.

Brooke explained that she found out she was pregnant the first time around when she missed her period, so she was only four weeks along.

And she kept the news a secret from her family until she was 10 weeks.

"It was absolutely horrible," she said in a video on her TikTok page.

"One of my family members decided that I wasn't allowed to see my boyfriend."

In fact, throughout the entire pregnancy, Brooke only saw her boyfriend four times - at the baby shower, when they had some maternity pictures done and at a couple of doctor's appointments.

"But we literally weren't allowed to even like, go in the car together," she recalled.

"One of my main family members did not agree with that at all."

Brooke went on to explain that she was the "saddest person ever", and would sit in her room crying every night.

"The only thing I did was school, and that was online, so I was literally just in my bed all day, every single day for months."

When it came to giving birth, her boyfriend and her mum were in the room.

She and her daughter went to live with her parents and siblings, which was "hectic" to say the least.

But "six to eight weeks" after giving birth, Brooke was allowed to see her boyfriend again "whenever I wanted".

She later moved out, and went to live with her boyfriend and his dad.

And it wasn't long before Brooke fell pregnant once again

"I literally found out, like, right before I missed my period, and I didn't think I was pregnant," she said.

"Had no clue at all."

She didn't tell anyone until she went to her first scan, and then they told their family.

"The way that my family treated me when I was pregnant with my first, like, made me not even wanna tell them," Brooke admitted.

"Although I knew it would be completely different, because I wasn't living with them, and me and my boyfriend had been dating for literally four years."

In the end, Brooke's family were "basically supportive".

"There were a few things that were pretty rude that were said, but not by my family," she added.

"So I was like, okay!"

She had a gender reveal, at which point she discovered she was having another daughter.

And she also had a baby shower - which wasn't quite as big as the one for her first baby, which several family members refused to attend.

"Thank God for my mum, because if I didn't have my mum the whole time I was pregnant, I don't even know what I would have done," she said.

Concluding her video, Brooke admitted: "Being completely honest, for a long time, like two years after my (first) daughter was born, I could just think about being pregnant with her and start crying because it was just so insanely sad."

People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: "I didn’t even know what a boy appendage looked like until 17!"

"I hadn’t even had my first kiss at 14," another added.

"My period wasn’t even regular yet at 14," a third commented.

"I think I was still playing with Barbie’s at 14," someone else said.

"This is insane to me as i didn’t even get a period until i was 15," another wrote.

To which Brooke revealed hers had started aged 11.

"For all of the 'why did it happen TWICE?!' comments, once you’ve started that young, you just continue living life that way," someone else said.

"Had my first at 16 and second at 20.

"There’s no point in waiting 10-15 years to have another just because you had your first young.

"Once you have your first, you’ve basically gotten it down!"

And it seems Brooke agreed with the remark, as she replied: "Yup!"
