since you are pregnant, you are not too young. It is just alot of work and responibilty. CONGRADULATIONS ! best of luck.
don't let the world knock you down. you fight, and never surrender, but rest when you can. you love that child and teach that child to servive in this world. Do not hide the truth from children, they have to live in this world. you teach em to fight, and to move forward, for a better tomarrow.
forget dr. spock, he has no kids, do what you know is right, you will make mistakes, everyone does. you can only learn from them and move forward.

Are you the one who just lost a baby not to long ago?
I beleive you can do it, you should have waited but like you said the deed is done so its just time to live with it. You should try to do as much school as possible but you can finish it after the birth. I think you'll make a wonderful mother age has nothing to do with how you parent, I don't look at myself as a babd mother because I was only just 17 when my son was born, It has been a tuff 4 years but no tuffer then if I was older, children are children so as long as you try your best and have support you'll do just fine. I do recommend you go to antil-natal classes to teach you a few extra things to expect about the labour and birth then how to look after a newborn, every new mother should take these classes as it helps emencly.
You should look around your area, Im in Queensland, Australia and here we have young mothers groups, they happen either once a fortnight or once a month, Its a good orginsation as it helps young mums, you all get together and have coffee and just talk to other young mums in the same position, then after the birth you can take your baby along and its a good bonding session, It just makes you relise your not alone and these people don't look down on you because your young as so are they. Try it even if its at leased once or twice.
Good luck and I wish you all the best. If you need someone to talk to then my email address is mj_missi@yahoo.com.au, I don't know everything but I do know what its like to be a young mum so I'm willing to help if you want someone to talk to. If not then I wish you all the very best and hope you have a health baby.

Relax, stay as stress free as possible, keep your Dr's appointments.
Read the book What to expect when your expecting.
Walk alot, it helps during the delivery!
You are young, and for the birth, that's a good thing, I had all my kids young, my last was actually the hardest on me! It's harder after the baby gets here so have a good support system in place, parents and friends that you can talk to or help you around the house, baby sitting so you can go to school and get out an occasional night!
Stay in school..your babies future is in YOUR hands!
good luck!

That's good advice to trust yourself. Trust your instincts but make sure you verify them with an ob/gyn or midwife. Take pre-natal vitamins, eat a healthy well balanced diet, and get regular pre-natal care. Good luck.

Do NOT drop out of school!!! Also, if you were planning on going to college, you still can. If you weren't planning on it I highly recomend going because not only will you have college paid for, you will have financial stability for your child. Congratulations and good luck.
