THis is the Catholic site: www.cssgr.org/
Other churches have similar services, but these two are the largest.
Good luck.

hi, i am 18 years old and was 17 when i found out i was pregnant. I was really scared for the first half of my pregnancy because of the labour and also i didn't know what was going on with my body. I still have my parents but they wanted nothing to do with me when i told them. I went to pregnancy classes and met up with other mothers in the same boat and made friends with them. They really helped me alot through the hard times. I did alot, i mean ALOT of research on the internet about pregnancy, pregnancy complications, labour, pain killers for labour and just general facts. I am now 37 weeks and carrying a healthy baby boy. The further along you get the more sick of being pregnant you get and the less scared of labour you get. You also think well i gotta do this cuz there is no turning back now and you eventually except the fact and are not scared any more. Well i hope that helps you out and good luck with your precious bundle. I know you will do fine.

I don't know exactly what you are afraid of, but if you need to talk to someone there are often groups of pregnant women that get together and talk. You can call your Dr or if you don't have one yet call A Dr and see if they have any ideas. There are also group chats on baby web sites. (most of them) They are very helpful if you have concerns.If you really need some help then go to someone at church who you think you can trust, or the pastor and they can help you. You will be all right, be strong, you have a life inside you...it is truly a miracle in the making, good luck!

I too recommend taking some child rearing classes. It will help so much, it will prepare you for the baby, it will give you ideas of how to raise your child, and it will educate you and with education fear is lost. Because fear is only powered by the lack of knowledge in a certain area. And with education you can stamp that out. Then you can enjoy being pregnant, enjoy the last bit of you time you have left. Then once the baby comes you will be to busy to be scared. Good luck on the baby.

There are any number of charitable and other organizations more than willing to help. Bear in mind most have biases - for example Planned Parenthood will push you very hard to have an abortion (they profit from them) while most church groups won't hear of it. Social counselors are available in most towns of any size and are as close to an impartial advisor as you'll find, apart from a good friend.

there are so many good books out there to answer your health questions. I'm sure that there are on-line support groups as well as pregnancy support groups through your local hospital, community center and ob/gyn. You don't have to go through it alone, there are any number of women out there in the same predicament. You just need to find them.

see you doctor right away!!!! if you don't have one find a OBGYN and make sure you take your vitamins. Don't drink, smoke, or do drugs while you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
