Bring clothes that are comfortable that you can wear after you have your baby. Don't bring a nightgown to wear when you have cause you'll ruin it best to wear one of their hospital gowns. Bring a tooth brush, some clothes to change in when you leave, and maybe something to read but their won't really be enough time for it cause you'll be exhausted and you'll have your baby.
Sorry you got raped. I was also raped when i was 17 and had a little girl and gave her up for adoption. She's now 4 years old and I think about how nice it would of been to keep her but i knew that i wasn't ready. It's really great that your keeping your baby though remember it's your decison and don't let anyone try and tell you what to do.
Also when I got raped people spread rumors about me also. People in high school are just immature. remember your above them. you know it's not true so why let it get to you. just brush them off.

also if you ever need anyone to talk to or vent to about this or if you need advice you can email me at fly_girl_20032002@yahoo.com.
Good luck..

I was 15 when I was pregnant with my son. I kept him and somehow still completed high school. I don't know how I did it considering the feedback I received even from my own teachers. One of my teachers even told me that I'll quit sooner or later anyway, so I might as well quit while I was pregnant. You and I do have different stories though. Mine was due to my own irresponsibility and yours was not of your doing at all. The reason I kept my son is because I was taught that I must take responsibility for my own actions. I do not regret my decision as my son (now 15 years old) is the best person in my life and I still dedicate everything to him 100%. I find it very strong of you to decide to keep your child. To be honest, those people that are looking down upon you and saying such mean things to you do not know what they are talking about nor should they matter. I know that it is hard for you and it will continue to be so. Ignore their ignorance and just smile. You will soon have a beautiful baby that will need your attention. :)

Everyone else was pretty clear on what you should bring to the hospital. Just make sure to have your bag ready soon and keep it readily available. One word of advice for after you have your baby too: Make sure to keep an extra bag of items in your car of things such as formula, an extra bottle, bottled water, a change of clothes, a few diapers, and some baby wipes. This is for those times that you are out longer than expected or an emergency comes up...you will always have something available for the baby when you need it.

Good luck hon.

For Mommy

Birth plan (if you have one)
Health insurance forms
Hospital preregistration forms
Nightgown or large t-shirt for giving birth if you prefer not to wear a hospital gown
Extra pillows to keep you comfortable during labor
Magazines, books, etc if you wish to read
Any CDs or music you wish to listen to during labor
Focal point object
2-3 nightgowns (with a front close if you plant to breastfeed)
Bathrobe
Slippers
A few pairs of socks
Several pairs of underwear
Toothbrush, toothpaste
Soap
Shampoo, conditioner
Deodorant
Contacts/glasses
Hair brush
Cosmetics you might want such as makeup or hair products
Lip balm, hard candies, or lollipops to keep mouth moist
Body lotion
Your own sanitary pads (if you prefer those over the ones the hospital gives you)
Nursing bra
Breast pads
Journal, diary to document this time
Loose, comfortable clothing for the trip home (you will still look 5-6 months pregnant)

For the Baby

Receiving blanket
Extra diapers
Warm blanket if it is cold outside
Outfit to wear home
Socks or booties
A cap (usually given to you at the hospital)
Safe car seat and car seat directions

Moreover I just had a baby and i got alot of talk about it even though i'm 21 and on my own. I'm even engaged to the father and i still got a whole lot of I shouldn't have kept the baby. with all of that said when your baby is born everything you went through will seem worth it because when that little person looks at you and smiles you won't regret your decision no matter the circumstances. You'll just know that you love him/her and regardless of what else happens they will bring you some of the happiest moments of your life.

I'm sorry about what happened to you i think you are very brave for keeping your baby I do hope you have lots of support from your family babies are REALLY hard ( i have two) Don't worry about what people say if it's not true you shouldnt care. As for the hospital bring lots of undies (you will bleed alot after birth) 2-3 nightgowns (depending on how long you stay) socks, hairbrush, toothbrush and paste, deo, shampoo and cond., slippers, music, snacks, pillows if your picky, call ahead and see if your hospital supplies diapers and formula. A couple of outfits for baby also one for going home and for pictures, pacifiers and baby blanket. The best thing to do is make yourself a packing list and check stuff off as you pack it that way you don't forget anything. Good luck oh and make sure they give you lots of fluids so when it's time for the epidural you won't have to wait (don't worry it really doesnt hurt.)

I'm sorry the lady was so rude to you. My sister experienced some of the same stuff. Like when my nephew (almost 18 now!) was newborn, my sister tried to exchange some baby shower gifts from Sears that didn't fit the little guy. She couldn't find her receipt or something, so the lady said she must have stolen the clothes and had refused to give them back, saying that this "13-year-old girl" was babysitting and just trying to scam money. My sister was just shy of 16 when my nephew was born, but she looked much younger. Luckily, a friend of mine worked in the department, and came by just in time to see this lady making my sister cry, and she ripped the lady a new one. There are several stories related to things like that, but just so you know, it will get better. Of course now, people still think they are siblings, but are nice about it when they find out otherwise. Anyway, just because someone is pregnant, doesn't mean they're a slut. It can mean they "did it" just one time, and got caught. That lady was ignorant, and while her opinion must have hurt, it matters nothing. Good luck with your baby, sweetheart. Parenting at any age is the toughest job that is still worth it!

Good for you!!!! It will be very hard but if you have a family suporting you, you will do great!

About what to take: an very comfortable outfit to wear for the next day...especially if your expecting company, it will make you feel better the wearing a hospital gown. Also some shower essentials, pads, a couple pair of socks(because you may get blood on a few pairs.)
Also a take home outfit for the new baby, a blanket...and most importantly a carseat for the baby! Best of Luck!!!

I commend you on your attitude and your courage. Your baby is lucky to have such a wonderful mother with such a strong spirit. I would bring a book or cards and maybe some light snacks for the day after in case you don't like the hospital food. Also, slippers and a robe, brush, toothbrush, shampoo and soap. Remember to bring a set of clothes that are still pregnancy size. You will lose some weight from birth, but not all. Good luck to you and your baby and I hope your delivery goes well. Labor will be tough but the baby will make it worth it. And feel free to rant about your situation any time you need to; it helps prevent high blood pressure. :P

*As far as those encouraging you to give up your baby, I want to share. My aunt was raped at 16 and had the baby. My grandparents took in the child and the three of them raised him to adulthood. My aunt was his mother, he grew up to be a mature adult who went on to college and had a family of his own. It wasn't always an easy situation but it is one that can work. I hope this gives you hope.

I am so sorry about that. Just remember that you know what happened, everyone else dosen't matter. I applaud you for keeping your baby it is a very tough descion for some one your age. It shows great maturity, you must have a good support system.

Anyway. You may want loose fitting pjs. Of course all your personal items. Slippers. If you aren't bringing pjs you may want a robe to cover up with. Clothes to go home in, again loose fitting. You don't know what size you'll be after you have the baby. Don't expect to fit into you old jeans. You might want to consider yoga pants to go home in. I had a c-section and couldn't wear jeans for 8 weeks. The outfit you want to bring baby home in and the outfit you want to have the little one have their picture in. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

im very sorry to hear that you were raped! im glad that you decided to keep that precious baby.the only thing i can tell you is that people are going to talk and call you names because they do not know your story.just over look it or confront them, you can tell them i didnt ask for this i was raped and tell them that you are keeping the baby and that they should mind there own bussiness. all you take to the hospital is clothes for you and take some for the baby to wear home. oh make sure that you have a camera so that you can get pics. of the baby comming into the world. good luck honey. what are you having?have you found a name?

I hope your life turns out well. Im sorry people judge. Im a "unwed" mother. I live with the babies dad and we are happy but I know what some people think of us. We are great parents and im sure you will be 2, even at 15. I know its hard but dont let anyone ever make you feel less then perfect. Everyone has their own secrets and stories, even those people who call you names. You have nothing to be ashamed of, but those people do!!!! I hope you have someone to help you with your baby. Good luck and god bless.
