18 years old and pregnant

I'm 18 years old and I just found out that I'm pregnant and I'm scared to death. Can any other moms who have done this before give me some advice? I'm not scared about the actual pregnancy, just raising the child by myself, going to school, etc.

Im 18 & pregnant , its not gonna be easy nor is it the end of the world. Everything for yu will get more challenging & but yu have to figure out a way to get past it & get thru it. Dont stress abt it yu'll be fine . & now that you know & yur still early COME UP WITH A PLAN. Start planning now. Job wise if yu dont have one , saving money wise , school wise. Thats what i did b4 i even told my mom wen i found out i started making plans. I'll find a job , go to school & di this & that. I plann to start college in the summer cus wen i found out i was to stressed to start school in sep. Jan is he next semester , & i givs birth in feb . So summer is the best choice. Planning takes of alot of stress. Yu'll be fine its not the end of the world . & especially if yu have support from yur fam.
