Answer 1

IT HAS ALOT TO DO WITH YOUR HORMONES RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ALL OUT OF WHACK. HAVING A BABY IS A MAJOR DECISION. IT WILL AFFECT EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS. BABIES ARE A LIFETIME COMMITMENT.YOU CAN'T PUT THEM ON A SHELF WHEN YOU'RE DONE PLAYING WITH THEM . ALOT OF TIMES YOU AREN'T GOING TO WANT TO BE BOTHERED OR MAYBE YOU'LL BE TIRED AND ALL THE BABY DOES IS CRY,IT'S HARD ,VERY HARD. BUT REMEMBER THE BABY WON'T COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND THEY CAN'T DO FOR THEMSELVES.THATS WHY THEY SEEM SO NEEDY.BECAUSE THEY DO NEED ALOT.THEY NEED A LOVING,UNSELFISH MAMA AND DADDY.I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS MARRIED AT 16 AND HAD MY FIRST BABY AT 17,THEN ANOTHER AT 18 AND MY LAST ONE AT 23.IT WAS HARD MY HUSBAND DIDN'T HELP,HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A DIAPER LOOKS LIKE.THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND MY KIDS HAVE ALL GROWN UP AND NOW .GOOD LUCK.HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BABY.

Answer 2

Awe... I really feel for you. I've never been in your situation but would be glad to lend any info I could. I am due in 3 weeks with my fourth so I've been through the whole pregnancy thing 4 times. If you have any questions concerning pregnancy or the caring of a newborn feel free to send me a message. I'd be glad to correspond with you. You are in for the most unbelievable experience in your life. There is nothing like feeling your unborn baby move inside of you or holding him/her for the first time and looking into their eyes. I really respect you for keeping your baby. It won't be easy but you will be so strong when you get through this. Good Luck to you and your boyfriend. Best Wishes.

WHAT about your mom??
just a question.


but yeah.
what do you need to know?
try the book "what to expect when you're expecting"


how far along are you?

in some of the bigger cities, there are groups of pregnant women that get together to chat over lunch and things like that.
look into that=]]

good luck!!
best wishes to you, your fiance and your baby!!

being a mother with be one of the most fulfilling things in your life.
you will always have someone who loves you, and needs you.
and soon you will find you need them just as much=]]

hi it great to see that you and your fiance are happy even when your nervous,don't worry about not having any friend's support,believe in God and you will get through everything.When you feel sad,lonely or when you can't sleep at night pray and ask God to carry you through-out your journey.You should also talk to your fiance about what your going through.

GOOD LUCK.
