What should I expect?

An empty bank account for the rest of your life! Jeez, kids are expensive. I know, I have 3.

Ok so here is the tough love part. It's going to be hard, very hard, you are going to want to cry yourself to sleep some nights, and you will second guess every decision that put you in the predicament you are currently in. How do I know this. Because I have been there right where you are now. I got pregnant when I was 15 and had my baby when I was 16, she will be 21 in November. There is no easy way to say it , it's going to be tough on you emotionally spiritually & physically. Your baby will take over your life even before it's born. That's what kids do. The thing is, once you see that little baby, those tiny little hands, and sweet little face, it makes all the hard times worth while. You think you are going to have to teach you kid all these things, but the truth is, they teach us things we never knew we needed to learn. When it's all said and done it's worth it, it will make you a stronger person, and it will teach you some things about yourself that you may not otherwise ever know. It helps a lot if you have support from family & friends, and don't be afraid to ask for help from them. Hey if I can do it, I'm sure you can too. Good Luck and try not to resent the baby for being born. Sometimes I see young Mothers that blame their children for ruining their lives, and that's just not right. The baby will definitely change your life, that's for sure, just make the best of the changes.

You are only 16! If you think your life is changing now, that your pregnant. Just wait till the baby arrives. You were saying that you hang out with your friends all the time.
Imagine a colicky, sleepy, baby that crys almost non-stop.
Instead of sleepovers at your friends Or, at the MALL with your friends. And your baby . YOu baby starts puking all over everything. Baby's change everything!
FORGET THE CUTE GUYS MOMMY!
You have so much in life to experience. ** As a 16 year old.
Have you considered how you are going to provide for your child?
Did you receive you high school diploma?
Contact social services in your area.
Contact your church, or visit another church. JUST GO!

I hope you are getting pre-natal care!
Remember everything you PUT IN YOUR BODY GOES TO YOUR BABY.
PLEASE DO NOT USE DRUGS!
My heart goes out to you.


Have you considered placing the baby for adoption? ? ? ? ( sounds cold, I know. )

Honey, put your baby first!
You want to provide that baby with the BEST LIFE POSSIBLE.

I WISH YOU THE BEST!
I'll PRAY FOR YOU!

kelley

lots of pain and screaming. also a very white baby. but don't worry. it's really beautiful the first time you nurse them and the months afterward prepare you for the demon it will become when it becomes a child. not trying to scare, but it's experience.

ahhh what to expect.well expect the best of times.and the worst of times.

Children are really great, but at times they can really be a pain in the a**.lol

If you wish to stay in school, you should start looking into options now (childcare and what not.) I am not sure where you are from, but there may be some government funded programs for people in your situation.

Trust me, your life will get rough, but just remember NEVER GIVE UP!

You can only get from life you put into it!

And remember your child should always be your first priority!

Good luck to you!

That is so vague, there are so many things to expect, a baby has a huge impact on your body, your finances,your social life, your work/education and just everything in general.
It says you're under 18, are you really having a baby?

pain, stress, lack of sleep , lack of social life etc. I know this because two of my friends have had children and I'm so thankful I'm not them contraception all the way ! maybe when I'm like 32 or something but now god no
