Hiya guys, advice?

Question

I'm 18 years old and I've just recently found out I'm pregnant, I don't know how far along I am yet as I haven't been to the docs. I'm not totally sure about the idea of having a child as I am only young but my heart is more toward keeping it. Anyway, recently I haven't been feeling too good, I feel sick everytime I eat (it doesn't in any way stop me from eating though) and I'm feeling dizzy and tired most of the time - even now. I'm just asking for general advice really

Answer 1

Get lots of rest, drink lots of water, and see your doctor - that'll help with the physical stuff at least. As far as emotions are concerned, talk to someone you trust or a support line. Or both. Make sure whatever you decide, it is what you feel is right.

Answer 2

Getting dizzy or feeling to puke while eating are normal symptoms called Morning sickness. Most people get it in the morning. But some women have it through the day. It passes after a phase, some take longer. Till then get enough water, eat right, stay away from sodas, caffeine, tobacco and too much salt and sugar. Excessive foods will make you more uncomfortable.

I applaud the decision that you want to keep this baby. It shows that you are willing to take responsibility for your actions. Selfish adults abort and abortions leave indelible scars on your mind making you wonder "What if questions" for the rest of your life. So have the baby and try to give it a great life.

Consult a doctor. Have more of vegetables, eggs, milk and fish (baked) so it is not overpowering. Healthy foods, good sleep (no too much TV) and walking keeps you fit and ready to deliver. Keep listening to happy music, no junk radio or TV shows, your child is listening to everything you do. Soft classical music comforts and soothes. So have a great pregnancy.

Answer 3

You just have morning sickness, one of the wonderful signs of being pregnant. If you just found out your pregnant you are probably about a month along. Go see a doc though for sure and if you have no health insurance then you better start planning to apply for medicaid, but they will want proof of pregnancy and you can do that at any local family planning center in your city. Some test for free and some charge a small fee, bringing in a pregnancy stick isn't gonna work they want it written on a piece of paper from somebody professional. I got pregnant with my 1st at 17 and now she is my best friend in the whole world!! I'm not w/ her dad anymore either she is 4 years old and has changed my life for the better. I am now 22 pregnant w/ my 2nd with my hubby. Good luck and enjoy motherhood it truly is a gift.

I am pregnant with my second child. You sound like you are having the symptoms of pregnancy. I do believe that you should follow your heart in keeping or not keeping the baby, but I will tell you that having children is the most rewarding thing in life. Look at it this way, you aren't a kid anymore and you are probably out of school and have your education, so it really wouldn't be that hard to have the baby. Daycares are available to infants so you would be able to work. Definitely go to the doctors for further advice and instructions. Good luck and prayers are with you.

Answer 5

It sounds like you are having some symptoms of being pregnant. As for what you should do, I can honestly say if you already feel that you want to keep your baby it's probably going to be the best decision for you. I got pregnant when I was nineteen and my boyfriend at the time wanted me to have an abortion and i didn't want to, but i wasn't sure what to do. On the advice of a friend and support of my family I kept the baby.
That was the best decision I could have made. I've had some tough times, but i wouldn't change them for anything. I have an incredible 14 year-old daughter that I love more than anything - she is the true love of my life! Good luck and trust your heart - God bless you and your family!

well hun i was there in ur spot 3 1/2 years ago, i was 18 in high-school and scared to death. i had the same feeling of being sick no matter what i was doing, but i pulled through. i was more mad at myself that i got pregnant and didn't want it to begin with but after i went to the doctors and was checked to see if i was really pregnant, my whole life changed i felt that no matter what i did i was going to make this baby happy. and well i guess i have done a good job so far, he is now in the living room playing video games happy as can be. i'm glad i didn't give him up i think i would be lost without him, he has got to be one of my best friends, even if he is 3 1/2 lol :o). i am now a stay at home mom and love every day i'm with him, so my advice to u keep ur chin up thigns may seem worse as time goes by but in the end u'll always have that little one who smiles at u at the end of the day and WANTS ur hugs and kiss's. :o) ANOTHER THING IF U WANT SOMEONE TO TALK TO U CAN IM ME.

Answer 7

One of the best things that I have been told is "Mommy knows best" so if you have that instinct that something is wrong, don't wait it out. Also, if you want to bottle feed, go for it, but you can easily breastfeed ad make bottles for your little one through a breast pump. So, whatever you feel will fit into your lifestyle. If you want to train to be a midwife, you can start as soon as you feel comfortable. Look into online classes for your prerequisite classes, like English and Psychology so you can be with your baby a little longer, but it really is up to you as to when you feel comfortable. Good luck and I have a good feeling you are gonna be a great mommy! Good luck to you and your new family.

Answer 9

a lot of people would probably tell you to see a doc, use a home pregnancy test or something like get an abortion... my advice is for you to see a voodoo specialist and see if you can use some of the specialists magic charms to give you advice on what to do.. maybe even alter the whole thing as if it never happend! YEY!
