15 and expecting

[MissDaisDee]

I'm 15 years old and I turn 16 in 6 months. I'm only 6 weeks and 3 days along, so I'll be 16 when the baby is born. I have little to no support from the father and I'd really like some advice on how to properly take care of myself during pregnancy, things I shouldn't do, things I should, etc. Any advice would be great because I'm lost and scared. Abortion and adoption are out of the question as well.

Hi, im a first time mommy too! i am 18 years old (: My pregnancy was totally unplanned as yours was too im assuming because your so young. Anyways I have had little to no support from my baby's father either so you are defiantly not alone! I would seriously tell your parents or guardian so they can get you to a doctor it's very important for you and the baby to stay healthy and to know how far along you are. Don't worry about your parent or guardian getting mad and upset eventually they will forgive you and help you out the best they can. I would just try to stay positive and eat right and take prenatal vitamins which you will learn more about when you visit your doctor and just ask any questions that are bothering you that's what they are their for. I know exactly how you feel and just know your not alone. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy. And its the father who will be missing out just remember that.

Best wishes on your pregnancy girly (:

Alright, thank you! I'm a first time mommy.. any other advice? Fine if not, I'm just lost.

Yes. Eat as healthy as possible and make sure you stay hydrated.

[MissDaisDee]

I'm going to make a Dr. appointment as soon as possible. Any other advice?

[remar]

It really would be a good idea if you got in to see a Dr. The sooner the better to see how the baby is doing. They will also want to start you on prenatal vitamins.

[MissDaisDee]

No, I haven't seen a doctor yet. I have yet to tell my legal guardian of my current situation.

Have you seen a doctor yet ? That would be the first thing I thibk you would need to do.
