Why am I 18 and pregnant! Help?

hmm yes your ready. long as your out of school.

I had my first child when I was 18 and I was in pretty much the same situation you are (except I was the first among my sisters to get pregnant).

I’m not going to lie to you - it was tough…it still is and she’s 17 now. I had to drop out of school because I had complications with the pregnancy (I didn’t get the chance to go back and finish until I was 26), so that pretty much put my career on hold for several years. Money was always really tight, but we managed to scrape by. If I could go back, I’d probably want to wait at least until I finished high school, but I have never regretted having my daughter.

Tell your parents as soon as possible because they are the ones who are going to have to be your support through all of this - I couldn’t have done it without my mom’s guidance.

Make sure you’re seeing the doctor regularly, eat well, avoid drinking, smoking, etc…you know, all the typical dangers to the baby…you’ll be just fine.

your fella will be supporting 3 people on 1 wage…

you obviously cant afford a baby.

no your not to young to have a child but this isnt the right time in your life for 1.

You really need to sort out money and get a job for now so that you can save up but you wont be able to spend money on things you dont need and if you want to help the baby then make sure you have plenty of iron and have a balanced diet also dont smoke or drink alcohol
