Answer 1

Wow, your life is over as you know it.... just think, you'll probably be a grandma at 35.....

Answer 2

Don't pay any attention to the negative remarks. Some adults are VERY childish! You are already pregnant and if they were mature enough they would realize thats it! You are having twins... and pregnacy is a wonderful thing. Just because you are young doesnt mean your going to be a bad mother! I am 17 years old and i'll be 18 before my daughter is born. Im 22 weeks pregnant and happily married! I finished school with honors, and im going to colllege... If i can do it so can you! I wish you the best.

And for all the questions you have there are many books you can buy or go to the library and get!!

Answer 3

Well even though you are young congrats on your new twins.
Labor for every woman is different. For some it is the worst thing you can go through and for others they are like that's it.
I am one of the "That's It" people.
My labor had to be induced. I was a couple of days late and my son's head was pressing hard on my cervix. I could hardly do anything, my doctof felt like I should not be in all that pain and induced me. My husband, mother, brother and brother in law all went to the hospital. I sat in my room for a good little while before they did anything to me. Around 9:30 almost 10 they gave me some cervidel to start my contractions. It worked really fast, I was contracting but not dilating. I was already 2 when I went in I just needed 8 more. My contraction where coming so fast they decided to take the cervidel out and I labored through the night squeezing my husband hand when I would have a contraction. The staff left us alone the rest of the night so I could rest. Then around 9 :20 am they came in and checked me I was 10 cm. and they broke my water. Since my son was already down very low in my birth canal, when they told me to push I pushed just once and his little head just popped right out (I know sounds gross right...the miracle of life lol) and at 9:51 my son JaMel Aaron Addison was born 8 pound 7.4 ounces.
While I labored I had back labor, that is when you feel all the pain in your back it at sometimes can be quite uncomfortable but you will get through it, that is what we were built for. But I had back labor because his face was facing my behind instead of the ceiling when coming out. which caused the back labor. It didn't hurt when they broke my water just a big splash like sound if I remember correctly. And when you push (at least for me) it just felt like I was pushing out the biggest BM I ever had, but once they are out it is like a relife.
Another thing that will give you a various answer to this question is if you have a pain killer - I went without it.

But as I said before your labor depends on you. If you work out and try to stay fit, if you have a high or low level for pain and if you decide to have pain killers or not. Hope my information helped you.

Answer 4

Take Lamaze classes, and if you can't get to one buy a book or the video. The breathing exercises can really help with labor. I did it and I never had need of any medication. But, if things are very painful, there is no shame in getting a little help! I only had one child. Breaking the water is not painful, but it speeds up the birthing process, so once that happens, you want to be in the hospital or on your way.
Congratualtions and I hope you and your children will all be healthy and happy. Please try to finish your education when you can!

Answer 5

Why can't you finish school?Having a baby isn't the end of the world,ya know.FINISH SCHOOL.Thats the most important thing you can do for your babies.I know,I was 16 when I got pregnant with my daughter.It was in september of my junior year.I went to school the whole year,big belly and all(and it was huge,my daughter weighed 9 1/2 pounds).It wasn't easy,sometimes I hated getting up,but I knew it was important to her life.I had her in June,12 days after the last day of school.Then I went back in august for my senior year.And I was married by then.I paid my mom $50.00 a week to babysit her.It was so hard,but worth it on graduation day when my baby was there to see mommy graduate.Finish school,please.You can make more money that way.

Labor.Yes,it does hurt.I can't lie to you,it hurt like hell.But I've had 4 kids now and so it must not hurt so awful bad or I wouldn't have but 1.And I hate pain.But it is so worth it when you hold your baby,the pain instantly goes away.It doesn't hurt when they break your water,it could even break on it's own.Thats the least of labor worries.Ask for an epidural!!!!Tell them you really want it.Thats this drug they inject in your back that numbs you from contractions.A life saver.It sounds scary,but it saved me!The worst part of labor was not being able to push when I wanted to so bad.If you push before the doctor says to,you could hurt yourself and the babies.This sounds gross,but,it felt like I really had to poop but the doctor wouldn't let me.I really didn't have to,it was just the baby putting pressure down there.It feels wierd,though.

First time labor can last awhile,mine was 21hrs.But it wasn't all hard labor so it wasn't too bad for about half.Then again my second was only 30min. from start to finish.So,everybodys different.

Whatever you do,think of your babies and don't depend on the guy to be there.If he is,then great.But stay in school.That way if you have to support your babies,you will be able to.Ask family members to watch them for you.Or go to social services and ask them for help paying for daycare.So many other people do it,you can too.But if you go to them,go before you return to school so they will have time to find you a daycare center and fix up the paperwork.

God bless you and your babies.It'll be okay.I had 2 kids by the time I was 19.And I don't regret it.Their father I regret,but not them.

Answer 6

congratulations honey!yes,labor hurts and it's uncomfortable if they break your water but if you're lucky it will break on it's own and that just feels like a gas bubble releasing.I dont think you should ask for horror stories because you'll get them and that will just stress you out which is not good for baby.everyone is differant and has differant levels of pain tolerance.some doctors will give good meds to help ease pain.there are billions and billions of women who have had babies though so population proves we can survive a few hours of pain.I,myself gave birth to 10 children and find you remember the labor but dont remember the feeling,you know there was pain but your body forgets the sensation,thank God!I had all mine natural and did not even take tylenol,a personal choice because I knew it would soon be over and wanted the babies born without their first experience being to rid their bodies of any drug.and you can still finish school.

Answer 7

17 and having twins - wow. There's some stress for you.
I won't lie to you, labor hurts. For me, my water broke on it's own so I really don't know how it's done when soemone else does it.
They say it's a pain you forget, and that is a lie. It does, however, fade when those babies are born.
You are so young, have you thought about adoption? There are many wonderful couples out there who would love to be able to raise them.
Consider it.

Answer 8

I see a lot of people in here are calling you a liar about being pregnant whatever, but for those of you who are telling her that her life is over because she is pregnant at seventeen need to shut up and move on to a diffrent subject! A teen mother needs love and support not people judging her and looking down on her!!! Her life is NOT over!!! Life is what you make of it. I had a child at thirteen years old...i know some of you will think i'm lying...f*#@ you!!! I honestly did! I got pregnant in august of 1997 I was 12 years old, had him april 17th 1998 at the age of thirteen. IHe's now 8 years old (i'm 21) and he is smarter than most kids his age. I'm glad I decided to go through with the pregnancy and keep my baby. I honestly think he was sent from God to help me because I was heading down a very bad path! Anyway as far as labor...YES it hurts!!! Some women's waters break on their own. They had to break mine with a thing that resembled a kroche hook, but to me that part didn't hurt. The contractions were killer., though and because of my age I didn't experience the worst part of them, they gave me an epidural (numbed from the waist down)pretty early in my labor. It really all depends on what form of delivery you choose. But honestly all the pain is worth it once you hold your little bundle of joy for the first time!

Answer 9

If you had sex just over a month ago, first of all, you would BARELY know you're pregnant. Second, there would be no way to tell if you were carrying twins...the egg sacs and fetal poles probably even wouldn't show up on a transvaginal ultrasound. Grow up.

Answer 10

if you conceived on the 4th of july---you would only be 7 wks pregnant today. that means you would have already been to the dr and had an ultrasound and know you are having twins. i don't believe you. stay in school---and take more classes....sex ed and math for starters.

Answer 11

Of course labor hurts!! its like menstral cramps, only wayyy worse. plus your hopefully squeezing a 7 pound baby out your ***. of course its going to hurt, but the doctor will probably give you pain killers, and you might even have to have a c-section depending on the state of the baby.
