Um you really should get on the telling people part. Its not going to be long before every one can tell any ways. Plus your 18 so its OK. I was 16 and I had to tell my parents very hard to do. But it all turns out OK. They might be mad at first but once the new baby is here things will be fine. If you are worried about child birth there are some website that are quite informative on it. If you would like the address for the website. you can email me at cowgirl_4884@yahoo.com. Good luck! And Congratulations!

I was 20 when I had my first baby. It was hard at first as my parents had both died years earlier and I thought I would have no support but luckily I still had my older sister. I know my mum would have loved to see her grandkids and although she may have been disappointed that I had had one so early, she would have loved me none the less. I suggest telling your parents ASAP. Leaving it too long could make them think you don't trust them enough to include them in your joy at having a baby!
And don't worry about the birth. Believe me...you forget the pain as soon as you hold your baby! (or there are great drugs out there so you don't feel ANY pain!!) LOL! If you didn't forget it...I wouldn't be pregnant with number 4 right now!!
Congratulations on your baby and good luck with it all!

Enjoy her while she is young. When she hits 11/12, you'll wonder how she became possessed by a sarcastic, malevolent force.
I've been raising my niece since she was 2 and I believe I preferred her running around in Winnie the Pooh, asking me "why" thousands of times than the moody, defiant banshee who steals my clean clothes from the closet on a daily basis.
She's not so bad, I exaggerate but it doesn't get any easier the older they become.
Best of luck!
Peace,
Jenn

expect to run on coffee for the first few months, as you will have no energy, and hopefully enough time to at least make a pot of coffee, and you will be getting not a lot of sleep. expect the most powerful feeling in the world when you look down at her, overcome with love and natural highs. expect to be spending a lot of money on bottles and pacifiers and blankets and especially diapers, expect to have others want to hold your baby and everyone complimenting you and talking about your baby, playing with her. expect less 'me' time more 'me and baby' time. expect to be inspired by mothers and, for those who are trying to conceive, expect to be an inspiration.
good luck

well you need to tell your parents. dont hide it be proud to be preg and have a baby... dont be nervous its fun. you wont get alot of sleep at first but once you start a schedule it flows I was 17 when I got preg.. dont get me wrong its hard but you will get through it and I had him natural..also if you have your bf 's full support you will do good too.but I would tell your parents and if they are mad then they will get over it.. but they will love you no matter what. labor is not easy and its not hard.. just take care of your self and be healthy. good luck I wish you the best
