Sorry, I'm not a teen. Congratulations though. You need to start taking a prenatal vitamin, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and drinking LOTS of water so you do not get dehydrated. Also make sure you're resting plenty, because you'll get tired more easily. Babycenter.com is a great website for pregnant ladies. Also try the book What to expect when you're expecting. And lastly, enjoy this time. You are about to bring a little miracle into this world. :) Good luck.

Its hard. Hard as a teen or as a grown up. You must seriously think this through because for the rest of your life you will no longer be first.. You must always come second. From here on out. Even while pregnant. I was 16 and he was 19, we got married had two children and then I became a single mom. Its very hard and the only rewards you will receive is when your children are grown up and you see that you have taught them love, respect, morals, and so much more. (and you get lots of hugs) I wish you lots of luck and really think this through. There is adoption, but only you can decide that. I dont regret my children but its a hard life, but its been well worth it for me. You still must finish school and be a very good role model for your child. It is doable but you have to really work at it.

well i was 16 when i found out im 17 now and 20 weeks pregnant. i mean other telling your parents and trying to get jobs and finish school theres nothing else you can do really but try your hardest and do whats best for your baby and you. once you get into the doc theyll give you prenatals make sure you take them everyday and drink lots of water.... other then all that be careful when lifting things and try not to stress. take it easy and prepare yourself to be a mommy. good luck and congrats. i kno exactly what youre going thru. ive been there and im still doing that you kno? take care.

If you feel you are ready and feel you are up to looking after a baby, I say keep it. There is nothing wrong with being a teen mother. My cousin and one of my friends were 16 when they had there daughters, it isn't that uncommon.
As for the 16 you, 19boyfriend, this is why I like australia 16 is the legal age for sex.

I was pregnant at 15 and had my first daughter at 16 but we are doing really well 4 years later and the stigma that attaches to young people who get pregnant has mostly disappeared. Just do what you feel is right. I had alot of people telling me to have an abortion and I wanted my baby so i kept her. It is going to be tough I can tell you that much but It's not a challenge that I would have given up for the world.
Good luck you can email me if you like.

Congratulations hunni, the only advice i can give you is to take all the support you can get! i had my first child at 15 and its really hard work, its hard being a first time mum full stop but its harder when your young. my daughter is 12 now so it can be done with lots of love and support from friends family and your partner. I'm sure you will be fine!
Good Luck
Dee Dee Dee: who said it was a mistake? i know she didn't! plus children are not mistakes they are surprises and good ones at that!!!

I'm 17 and I'm also pregnant! This is my 2nd child and I don't have to worry about it because sometimes things will just go great. I was 15 when I was first pregnant, I couldn't tell my parents because they were both gone... I stopped schooling and so did my BF. We stayed in a house far from where we used to live and now we decided to start a family.
BTW, we also live in Canada
