Answer 1

Your going to be fine. Being scared is very normal. If you already know your pg. make an appt. a.s.a.p. so u can start your prenatal care. It is perfectly natural to be scared of losing a baby at your age, but i'm sure you are perfectly healthy and are taking really, really good care of yourself,so you should be fine. A doctor will confirm all of this for you -so go see one soon. As for your mom, wait until after you see the doctor. for your ht./wt. you will probably start showing in about your 4th month- your going to be fine, just take care of yourself. Good luck,Kelly

Answer 2

Usaully after your first trimester is over you have a lower risk of miscarrage...
Showing just depends on you with my first I didnt start showing till i was 6 months my 2nd I started showing around month 3
My mom and I didnt get along all that well before I got pregnant but when I told my mom she was ok with it I just came out and said mom I am pregnant.. My due date is such and such.. I was also 18 when I got pregnant with my first.
You should call your doctor tomorrow and make an appt. You will have a nurses visit first.. Too ask you bunches of questions and confirm your pregnancy and also to get you your due date and then you will see your doctor for your pap and testing usally around 10-12 weeks pregnant. Once a month for 7 months and the every other week for a month and then every week for the last month... CONGRATS.. Having a baby growing inside you is a great feeling and you do sound happy about it... If you have any other questions I will be more than happy to answer them for you [e-mail] feel free to email anytime... I have a 5 year old son and a week old daughter.. I have also been through alot with my pregnancies.. Good luck and CONGRATS again.. Make that docs appt and get on the prenatal viatamins

Answer 3

Women usually don't miscarry after 3 months, but I wouldn't worry. It's not something you can control. I've had one and while it's painful (emotionally & physically), I also have two beautiful babies. You won't show until the second trimester around month 4-6. The best way to tell your mom is quick like a bandaid, she might be mad at first, but she'll calm down and the closer baby gets the happier she'll be. I would make an apointment ASAP. Prenatal care is very important. I have 2 babies 2 & 4 years old. Being a parent is great. It's hard sometimes, but their great.

Answer 4

Miscarriage is most common during first three months, although may happen at any time.
You may start showing in about 1 1/2 to 2 months... there will be a lump.
You should just call her and let her know. If you want her to know, then she might think you want her around the baby and in your life. If she does not want any part of the baby, the that is more love for you.
You need to see a doctor from day one because of appointments and prenatal vitamins and all the tests.
Take it one day at a time. Let this baby be a blessing. And there is no guide to having babies and raising them.

Answer 5

Ok. Congratulations!!!

When I was pregnant my doctor wouldn't even schedule my first appointment until I was at least 8 weeks along. They told me that usually miscarriages occur within the first 6 weeks, but I was careful till I was aroun 2 months along. Everybody shows a little different. I'm 5' 4" too and weighed 120lbs before I got pregnant and I was 6 months along before I started to show at all.

Make sure you keep your boyfriend involved, it will help with the bonding of you guys and your baby. Some guys tend to become unattached to babies because they aren't going through what you are.

With your mom just come right out and say it. If you're afraid of her response, then prepare for the worse and see what happens.

Eat healthy foods, exercise and just take things slow. Try not to get stressed out and take care of yourself. Trust me your baby will know if there is something wrong with you. Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

Well most girls miscarry in there first trimister which lasts for 3 months. So when you are 3 months along and you are still carrying it then there will be no more need to worry. As far as showing it all depends on the person. Most people don't show until they are about 3 or 4 months along. Just be open and honest with your mom. You should make an app as soon as possible. I hope everything works out good.

Answer 7

I just had my first son. I was scared about miscarriage too. I'll tell you what the doc told me. Your young, and fit, and no family history of miscarriage, stop worrying. Also, I'm 5'2'' 106lbs, and I started showing in baggy clothes at about five and a half months. Best way to tell your mom is be honest, babies change things. maybe not until it comes, but it will. what else, make your appointment as soon as possible. and make sure to take prenatal vitamins. Eat well, dont exercise to hard. be happy. you are about to be a mommy. oh yeah, get the book, What to Expect When Your Expecting, it answered all my questions., whatever you do, dont listen to everyperson that says, do this and do that. everyone mothers differently. good luck and congrats.

Answer 8

Miscarriages usually happen within the first 20 weeks.
You chould go see a doctor as soon as possible.
People start showing anywhere from 3 to 7 months
By your size I would say you should start showing within the next 10 to 12 weeks.
You need to find a way to tell your Mom and don't wait to long. I hope things go well for you and your new baby.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I was pregnant when i was 17 so i know the kind of sitch you're in.
The rate of miscarriage dramatically drops by the end of the 1st trimester so after about 12wks you shouldnt really have to worry about miscarriage.
It depends on the person when they will show. Istarted to when i was about in my 6th month, my friend is pregnant at the moment and not far off your description and she began at about 4-5months. Although i wasnt OBVIOUSLY huge till iwas about 8months.
I had difficulty telling my parents also but i ended up writing a letter so i let out all my ffeelings and left it with my parents. They rang me after they read it and were surprisingly surportive.
See a doctor ASAP. You need to begin having antenatal checks to make sure you and the baby are healthy and all is going well.
Im so happy for you and your BF.
Congrats :)

Answer 11

i was 17 when i found out i was preg. its a very scary feeling when you first find out. espically if it was not planned. i know how you feel. when i was told my mom she was not very happy but she got use to the fact. i think in a way it kind of hurt her feelings b/c she had my future all planned out for me. You should see a doctor right away so they can get you on some prenatal vitamins. i always was scared that i was going to have a miscarriage but every pregnant women thinks about that one time if not more during their pregnancy. You will be ok. Today i am 18 and have a wonderful 6 month old baby boy. if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
