First time teen mommy

I am 17 years old and 7 weeks pregnant and am very overwhelmed and scared is it natural to feel like this? Also is it okay to feel cramps or should I be worried?

I was almost 17 when I found out I was pregnant the first time, it was very scary and a lot of family treated me like I couldn't do it or told me I ruined my life. Here I am now, 20 years old, i have my son who is the best thing that ever happened to me and pregnant with my 2nd, own a house, go to school, I didn't think I'd be here but I am. Just stay positive, it's easy to get carried away worrying about things but it's normal to worry and everything will turn our just as it should  (: the cramping is pretty normal unless it's unbearable or bleeding is what I'm told by my doc. Congrats on your bundle of joy and I sincerely hope everything goes smoothly for you!

I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant and its completely normal to be overwhelmed and scared. Your hormones are going crazy and it can make you even more emotional. Just take a deep breath and remember you have time to prepare. You need as little stress as possible. Cramping is totally normal during the first trimester and for some women throughout the entire pregnancy. You're going to find yourself getting nervous over the littlest things that your body does. A bit of blood, some cramping, not feeling well, it's all normal. Remember your body is making a human being, its going to be difficult and uncomfortable at times.

You are going to feel doubtful and scared for a Lil while but then everything will flow smoothly...you will fall in love with your baby as he grows, stay positive you will be fine....cramping can be normal but if too intense just rest don't get stressed and if you see signs of blood go to the hospital.
