About to have a baby, any advice?

hey I'm 16teen and I'm about to have a baby any one got any words that can help me???

~$~being married rocks~$~

Like everyone else has been saying. Sleep now while you can! SLEEP is a word basically that will be eliminated from your vocab.. once the little one gets here! I have a 6 month daughter and Im 18. I sleep a max of 5 hours if that a night. When you have the baby everything will come to you, you will know what to do. I wish you luck!

get sleep while ya can ! (= lol && don't stress -- it's not good for you or the baby!!

the only words that I have for you may not mean a lot to you but everything you do or everything that you don't know how to do. Put it in the hands of God b/c he's da only one who will listen and help you and hey you have been blessed w/ a great present nothing is better than having your first baby!!! congradulations and please take good care of you and da baby and please don't ever give up... byeee...

I can share with you one thing my mother shared with me when I was 18 and had just delivered my daughter Kyli, who will now be 11 April 1st. She told me that I have one time to do this and to do it the best I can because I will never be able to go back and do it over. She told me to take what she taught me and step it up and put my own touch on it. so, that is just what I did. I raise her like I was raised and I also raise her with my own feelings, knowledge and love. I remember being scared sh**less when I had Kyli. But everything just kind of came to me. After you have them your maternal instincts do kick in and you will be so in love with your baby and you will just know what to do and watch, you will be so protective over every little thing... it is a blessing and I hope this advice helps.

I would say GET YOUR SLEEP NOW!! ENJOY BEING YOUNG WHILE you STILL CAN!! Hopefully you have people who support you and will help you with the baby, but I would just say don't OVER do getting help because a lot of people will see that as 'putting the baby off' on someone. a lot of people get tired of you if you're always asking for help or always leaving the baby with them (especially if you not paying them!) I know a lot of girls who do that by making their parents practically raise their kids and I don't think it's right at all!! But anyways good luck with your baby.. Try reading up on parenting web sites or magazines...

PS be careful who you leave your baby with!! especially with your friends who may be around your age, some people have no patience and will actually shake, throw, hit, etc the baby and can severely injure or even kill your baby!

Get lots of sleep eat the right stuff and take good care of your little one. Give it lots of love.

expect the unexpected. sleeep while you can, as much as you can. clean your house now while you still have a chance lol. try to enjoy some quiet time. read up on the labor process as much as possible. enjoy hot, undisturbed showers. just take good care of yourself, get rest and I just cannot stress enough, sleeep as much as you can! and enjoy your new baby! congrats and good luck

thank you all so much that is all good things and I will leave it up to god and I no he will be there with me though it all

sleep a lot when ever you can your baby takes a nap take a nap with them so when your up at night with your baby it would not be as hard since you already had some sleep in the day and when they sleep and your not a sleep clean your house do anything you need to do and most of all enjoy being a mom its the best thing that could happend to you

Congrats
Kate mom of 4
