If I had a dime for everytime I or another woman who was pregnant, or is a mom now said that they don't think that they are or will be a good mom, I would be rich. These fears are normal, however they do hold some truth. You are still so young, I had my first child at 18 and it was hard. However, you can do it. Don't quit school, get your education, if your family and friends won't help out (I am sure they will) then go to DDS to get some assitence with child care so you can finish school. The one thing I regretted so much was quitting school, I got my GED after I quit and went to college later on in life, after I had my kids, but at the moment in your life, there is no need for you to have to quit your education and your lively hood when you become a mom. YOu can combine the two and make it work.
If you just need someone to talk to you can IM me :)

I have 2 little boys and they are great. Yes they are a lot of work , but oh so worth it just to see their little smiles and have their tiny little arms wrap around my body. If you feel like you can't handle it then look into adoption. I have two friends right now waiting on a baby to adopt and they are so excited. Happiness will come to someone's life when your baby gets here. Baby's are a gift from the Lord. Hope all is well and the sickness will probably go away around week 15.

Don't be so afraid. There are many hospitals that have courses specifically for new mommies. I just researched some cures for morning sickness for you, and here's a site I think might be useful. http://www.morningsicknesshelp.com/morning-sickness-cure.html You shouldn't feel so alone. Remember that you're surrounded by people who care about you and love you. Perhaps have your boyfriend spend some time with you over the weekend and visit some friends. A local book store or used book store might also carry an excellent book called "What to Expect When You're Expecting". It's for teen moms such as yourself and for moms who are just new to it all. Good luck you to all! (Including the baby!)

Yeah, you are really young and it is really scarey when you are first pregnant. So the two combined is really hard. I was pregnant at age 18. I wanted my baby more than anything but I knew I could never be good enough. So I decided to ask questions and learn what was best for my baby. I figured I was old enough to get pregnant then I was responsible enough to learn all I could to give this baby the best life I could. It's time to learn to put your life aside and focus on your baby and it's needs. You have a ton of resources to gain knowledge from - the internet is a wealth of knowledge.
Go and try and be the best mom you possibly can! Everything you do for your baby will effect it's entire life. Make it happy, healthy and secure.
Good luck to you!! And to your baby!

Dont worry about it. You will do just fine. You will go through, sickness etc. BUt just think at the end you will have a beautiful baby. Its all so great. I have had 3 boys and Im pregnant with my 4th , my first girl and even though Im sick as a dog and can hardly stand it , I start thinking about how I cant wait to see my little girl and hold her. You will be a good mom:)

Does your boyfriend know? Does he want to marry you and raise the child?
Please don't destroy the baby if you don't feel you can be a good mommy to it.
And doesn't it deserve a good mommy?
Consider adoption, there are many loving stable married couples wanting to adopt.
Don't act out of your "scared" position. Remain level-headed, just act out of what is the best for the baby. You are not center stage now. The baby is. He depends on you. Choose lovingly to welcome him into your heart, or pass him on to someone's open heart.
Please don't destroy him. I wish you the best, I have a 17 yr old son, I think I understand. I admire you for thinking this through.
I found this number for Catholic Charities Pregnancy Centers:
Contact us at 1-800-CARE-002 or 515-237-5082. Check them out, you can ask whatever is on your mind. Trust me, they've heard it before.
I'm sending you a hug :)

Having a baby is such a wonderful miracle. If you are not ready to be a mommy and don't think you can provide for your child there are other options.....adoption. You need to figure out what is best for your baby and if you have the funds or help to care for your child. Please visit this website and maybe it will help: www.standupgirl.com
