18 and pregnant. any one else been in my situation?

I had a baby at 18 also and yea i had support and well at first i did not want to have a baby but i could not do nothing about it in my opinion . When i was 3 months pregnant i found out my baby had his intestines out his belly and they told me he also could have other medical problems it was hard for me i was scared they told me at any time my baby could of die in my belly but thank to god he is here big and strong he got surgery as soon as he was born . He was 2 months in the hospital when i had him they took him to get surgery i has a epidural i just love them i have 2 kids and epidurals are the best i did not feel no pain at all just before they gave it to me it doesn't hurt as much as you think and when i got it i feel asleep. Don't be scared its going to be the best day in your life i Promise as soon as you see your baby your going to feel so proud. I have a good husband best dad in the world and i don't work cause i don't have to im attending the college part time so in a few years i could be a ultrasound tech and i have a beautiful home that i never though of having im not trying to show off what im saying is that not all young mothers will end up broke in the long run. You have to overcome all those challenges and prove to people that you can do it that not all teen mothers are the same try to give your baby all your love. Its going to be a hard but you and your husband just do the best and who says you cant drink smoke and party wrong ..i have 2 kids and my mom takes care of them me and my husband we are parents but we still know how to party hard. Its going to be ok... just take day by day.

I had my first child when I was 18 years old. He is now 6 and I have three other children and I'm married and very happy. Having a child so young wasn't a walk in the park but I knew what to do, I had support, and good resources for when I was lost. I'm sure you'll do great because you're a women and have excellent biological cues to help you care for your child. On another note, giving birth never actually "hurt" for me, it just felt like A LOT of pressure. Good luck! You'll do great

a lot of my close friends have children, they are between the ages of 16- 20 and all of them are doing well :D of course your budget will be a little tighter, you wont be able to go out and do things as much, but there is no greater joy than having a child. you will get ready quick, and there is so much information on the web and you will have some maternal instinct, i dont think its as hard for teen moms in this day and age but it still is difficult to be a mom at any age. i think you will do great and i hope everything turns out well for you and your baby :D

wow those first 2 answers were horrible. anywaysss i was 17 when i got pregnant and it is deff possible, you just have to be ready for the huge amount of responsibility and no time for your self etc. and the morning sickness will most likely be completely gone by 3mo along. you can email me if youd like to talk more -

I'm 17, I have a 5 month old. Edit your question & let me know if you want my email address or facebook. I talk to tons of Y!A girls & I love it. If I can help one girl, I feel so much better about myself & my situation.
