I’m a pregnant mum-of-three at 19… I don’t understand why women wait to have kids until their 30s, they’ll struggle
A PREGNANT mum-of-three who welcomed her first baby at the age of 17 says she doesn’t understand why women have babies in their 30s.
Claire is 19-years-old and is currently pregnant with her second baby with a new partner and now husband while also caring for her two step children.
In an attempt to break the stigma surrounding teen mums, Claire shares regular updates about her pregnancy and motherhood on her TikTok account.
And in a recent video she admitted that she wouldn’t want to be pregnant in her 30s.
Captioning her video she wrote: “When I see a 30+ old pregnant or ttc (trying to conceive)”
She then mouths along to the sound, “It must be sad, I’m not trying to be like you my boy.”
The video has since received over 15,000 views with many of her followers left offended by her comments about older mums.
But Claire was quick to defend her comments, claiming that being an older mum simply “isn’t her cup of tea.”
The mum is often the victim of cruel trolls, with many targeting Claire over her age.
However, Claire says she is extremely proud of her achievements.
Writing on her personal blog, she says: “2021 was a long, hard, successful year. I raised my son. I raised my step kids.
“My step daughter started school. My step son potty trained. My son started potty training. We bought a house. I got pregnant again. I grew a child in my womb. I gained thousands of followers on social media. I started a blog!
“This was a year of ‘I Can's.’ I am so proud of myself for taking initiative and jumping head first into a world of hatred and love."
