Answer 1

Look in the phone book for support centers, hang aroung the OBGYN office, & see if you can strike up something...let the office know what you are doing, maybe they can tell you when to come back...they can't give you a name, just so you know.
Pay attention. I met a very good friend in my own neighborhood...I was new in town, & we looked about the same size, & I saw her gardening. I stopped by & introduced myself. We delivered within a week of each other & have kept in touch since then. Our oldest kids are now 12 & I moved away a few years ago, but we still keep in touch!

Answer 2

I know this is a heavy weight on your shoulder. First of all, you said you fiance. You are only 17 years old don't rush into it. That is young to be thinking about that. As far a the baby goes, go to some social group to help you talk about how you are feeling. Thing that will happens when that baby is born to help prepare you for this child. Hospital put on some wonder full free classes to help mother now day. Just keep in mind that the child is your first responsibility. What you do and the choices you make affect that child. You are young But i can tell you are concerned about everything. Keep your head up you will be fine.

I got pregnant when I was 15 had him at 16.... my son is 7 now and his father and I have been together for 10 years, married 5 years this November. It is scary, but it is done all the time it seems. I was put on bed rest for the whole school year almost. Luckily my school gave me a laptop and a teacher who came to my house everyday. Then my senior year they hooked me up with a job, so I would drop my son off a daycare in the morning, go to school till 11, then be at work by 12. I was fortunate to have my mom, she would pick my son up from daycare when she got off work at 2. My husband left for the military when our son was 6 months old, so I raised him alone for the first 4 years while my hubby was in Boot camp, then Korea. I have so much I could tell you about but it would take up the whole page..lol....You can email me if you want.. [e-mail]

Answer 4

There is no need to be scared I am 20 and pregnant. At first I had no one cause I left the babys dad, my mom was mad at me, so I felt alone. I have now found a great guy that is helping me, my mom loves me again. Everything will work out for you. And congrats on your pregnancy. Good Luck

There are some really fantastic online supports if you check out Yahoo Groups. You can find one specifically for 1st time moms, young moms or teen moms.

No reason to be scared. A good site to keep bookmarked is babycenter.com Gives a lot of answers to the big questions. Talk to your doc, as well.

Answer 6

You'll be just fine, don't worry. Just take good care of your body cause you're caring for two now. You have to eat healthy, don't drink a lot of caffeine, junk food, etc. Try not to smoke, drink alcohol, or anything else you know is bad for you and your unborn child. It's gonna be the most beautiful thing that'll ever happen to you, giving birth to your first child. You'll never forget it, and it will change you forever. Now you have to take care of another human being besides yourself. It's awesome! I can't even describe how wonderful it feels to have your own little side kick looking up to you for everything everyday until they're old enough to make decisions for themself. I can't tell you not to be nervous, cause I was nervous as hell until she was about 6 mos. old. It's just a motherly thing...you'll see. And I'm sure you and your fiance' will be wonderful parents. Just remember patience and unconditional love...you'll be just fine. Congrats!

Answer 7

Your mommy instincts will kick in as soon as that baby is born. Don't be scared or worried. As long as you and the baby are healthy, then you will be fine. With my first baby, I was scared I wouldnt know what to do, but when he was born, somehow I automatically knew what to do. Good luck, and if you need anything else, you can find a forum or message board like babyzone.com where you can talk to other mommies to be!

Answer 8

i got pregnant when i was 18. My husband and I had just gotten separated after i found out, i went to a book store and bought a book its called pregnancy week by week. It really explains what to expect every single week, it even has pictures on how your baby looks at every week. that really helped me out alot. you could find alot of books about pregnancy you just have to sit down and chose the best one that you like. how far along are you? Im pregnant again with my second child, im 26 weeks pregnant maybe i could help you out alittle?
