Heartburn, tums. I found with both of my babies that the generic brand worked better than the brand name but they are perfectly safe and I had horrible heartburn with both of my kids until they were a month old.
I do suggest that you move out before telling your families that you are expecting.
There is nothing you can say to anyone especially to your Pops that will convince him you are not giving up on school. You will just have to show him. Show him, actions speak louder than words.
It can be done and you sound like you are in a stable relationship and have your head on straight so you have a chance to do all you want to in life.
Congratulations and good luck!

First of all congratulations on your pregnancy.
It sounds like you have made your mind up about keeping your baby.
Have you had blood tests to confirm the pregnancy and seen a doctor? Please make sure you do all of this before you confront your family. BECAUSE in some very rare situations you can get a false positive on a pregnancy test kit.
Bearing in mind how stressful things must be at the moment this is possibly adding to your indigestion/ heartburn. But let the doctor know and he may be able to suggest some things to make it more bearable.
Before you speak with your Pops take time to discuss with your boyfriend what you are going to do. Where are you going to live? How long do you plan to take off from college? Can you defer your course for 12 months? Find out all of these things and go and talk with your Pops armed with all this information.
You have to expect that your Pops may be very disappointed because this is not what he wants for you - or he may surprise you and be really supportive straight away. BUT ultimately this is your decision and your boyfriend's - so do what you think is right.
Good luck,

To be honest you might consider putting off college until after baby's birth since you can never know ahead of time if you will need to be placed on bedrest for you or the baby's health. No matter how you present it to your dad he's going to be disappointed at first just becuase your life isn't following his plans for you. If your relationship with him is strong he'll come around and become supportive.
You are an adult and sounds like you've got it figured out...so no worries.
As for the heartburn take some tums for it, they're completely safe and will help. For some women morning sickness doesn't mean vomiting it's just heartburn. Don't forget to take your prenatals as soon as you can get to the store and buy some and get to your doctor soon.

tums tums tums thats about it besides crackers. yes you can do this i am 19 i have a 2 yr old and one on the way if i can do it anyone can. just tell your parents if your old enough and grown up enough to get pregnant then you have to be adult and mature enough to tell your dad.. if you have to stay living with your parents it might make things easyer on both of you with school and a new baby. need anything else just ask me ok Congrats and God Bless

First of all, congratulations!!! Just be honest with your Dad. That is really all you can do. It is your life!

Use tums. Or ask a doctor for some pills. But you will not be giving up on your life, but be prepared to change. A baby changes everything.
Congrats!

Ask your Dad if you can speak with him privately,& tell him that you have news to share with him,& although you feel very anxious about his reaction,that you hope he'll be supportive & understanding. Tell him how you feel about your boyfriend,what your plans are for education,work,marriage,etc.,because you plan to keep the baby,& your boyfriend feels the same way.Remember,your his baby,& he loves you,& wants the best for you...For the heartburn,try dry saltines,or see your Dr...LOL

For the heart burn, chew tums they work great. As for your dad, you and the boyfriend should tell him together, he will have a lot more respect for him if you do.

Give the baby up for adoption and finish your education. He/she needs loving, married parents. Don't ask to live with your parents--they don't deserve this.
