I Need Help.

I'm 18 and i'm 11 Weeks pregnant. I'm terrified to tell my mom because she hates my boyfriend of 2 years. He already has a 2 year old. I plan on telling her after I graduate June 1st. I haven't been to the doctor nor have I gotten prenantal viramims. I'm so worried about my baby. I'm getting bigger everyday I just hope my baby is okay. Idk if it's getting all of the nutrition it.needs. I eat spicy foods and a lot of junk food like cheetos and pickles. Am I hurting my baby? Should I just tell my mom? Help please.

Your baby should be fine, just try to eat a Lily bit healthier. I didn't go to the doctors tell I was almost 4 months. Just buy prenatals from the store until your able to tell your mom.

it'll be hard, but she may surprise you. I was terrified to tell my mom that I was pregnant because she hated my boyfriend too. But once there was a baby involved, she forgot all about her hatred and gave me her full support. I waited 6 months to tell anybody because I was too afraid of what anybody would think, but it turns out I really had no need to worry. You shouldn't worry either. I'm sure it'll turn out fine, especially since, legally, you're an adult :p

You can apply for medicade to help with the bills and if you go to the doctor or even planned parenthood you can set it up to where they can't give any information out to anyone but you. You can also get some prenatals from just about anywhere. I personally would tell her, your 18 years old she has absolutely no say in anything. And the only thing that matters is that YOU love him. She'll come around eventually i'm sure. Good luck and congrats on you're baby. I'm sure your peanut is fine. There are a lot of girls who never take a prenatal.

Eat healthier, and it's up to you on telling your mom right away I was in the same shoes as you are in. I was prego at 18 well im still 18 haha. I had to tell my mom I had just moved out I did not know I was prego then but she suspected and asked me I was late for my period and didn't even realize. I had told her that I couldn't be even though I knew it was a possibility. I finally told her a couple weeks later I was terrified but she took it rather well. I mean of course she will be upset but she is your mother and while she may be mad at you for a couple weeks she WILL come around and if she doesn't then that is something SHE will have to deal with. If she wants to disown you, then it is her loss to not see you or her grandchild. I know it is hard to think that way. Another question I have is there a reason why she wouldn't like your boyfriend? I mean have you given thought to that? If there are real reason for her dislike towards him then maybe you should discuss this. Now that you are having a baby you are grown, so it is best to be a grown up about the situation and chose choices that will benefit your baby, even if that means coming terms with your mom on the likes and dislikes of your boyfriend (:  P.S. everything will be fine! my mom still talks to me everyday and loves my boyfriend to death. I had a miscarriage so there is no baby but she would have loved the child too.

Your mom is going to find out sooner or later.  If you need her to get prenatal care then you shouldn't wait another day.  Its going to be hard to do but once its out there you and baby will be relieved.  The longer you go without prenatal care the higher the risk of something bad happening to your baby gets.  At the very least start taking prenatal vitamins.  You can get them at any drug store or target/Walmart.  Best of luck to you and baby.

It's up to you to tell your mom. You can get prenatals from just about any store. You generally want to try to eat healthy for yours and the babys sake. Good luck!
