Pregnant And 17

Girlie what are you thinking??? I read your post from august 23 and you stated you had been trying to get pregnant for the last 2 months. You don't have a steady job and your thinking about dropping out of school. How are you going to support a child if you quite your job? Since you are now going to be a parent, you need to start making responsible decisions. Your first responsible decision should be to finish high school!! You have been ttc for the last 3 months and being sick comes with the decision you made. I feel sick 24/7 but I get up every morning go to work and I take evening classes. I made the decision to have a baby and I am making smart, responsible decisions because once this child is born all the decisions I have made in my life before and after the birth of this child will effect him/her one day. Its time to make responsible choices!!

I answered two questions. No you shouldn't quite your job and no you shouldn't drop out of school.

Well I was 17 when I got pregnant and I kept the baby, I was in school. I went to a pregnant girl school and graduated and got a job and went to college. Im 21 now. You can do things with your life. You just have to focus on what you need what you want. And what you can do. Dont quit. Or drop out. I had morning sickness soo bad too,. But talk to your doc and let them know. Try eating light things like fruit maybe a beagle. But you need to learn how to be really responsible but there are soo many programs to help you. Free counseling and help with housing/food
ok hope this info helps.

Take a deep breath... Now... I was 17 when I first concieved. Babys not here yet but im now 18. It was the last semester in school and I missed damn near all of it. I had to work my @ss off to get my high school diploma and the whole time I felt as sick as a dog. My baby was planned... Dont know what I was thinkin at the time, but yea she was planned and I loved the fact that I was gonna be a new mommy. My timing was just way off. Im blessed to have a boyfriend that stood by my side while all this was going on and to me it sound like u have the same. Just take it one day at a time. Stressing urself like that isnt going to be healthy for you or the baby and u definately need to try to finish school. Everyday u feel like u cant make it in the morning just remember that its all for ur baby and that shoudl help a little... I know it did with me. As for ur job... Well does ur boyfriend have a job? Because as ur pregnancy progresses u may need to take it a little easy and schedule some days off. If u arent working to pay bills then my suggestion to you would be to only work until the work becomes too strenuous. Balancing work and school can be tough. U can always pick up work again after the baby is born. *best of luck!*

Ok hun, first off you do need to finish school it might suck but it would be best for you and the baby. Next keep your job until it becomes too much of a hazard. Clam down and relax. Some women can work up until there 9th month of pg so the hours are ok as long as your not lifting alot you can still work. Next off saltine crakers help alot and tums for upset tummys. Eat light foods plain toast, begals, fruits, and things. All women are different you could start feeling better tomorrow then again you could be sick your whole pg it all depends. Now knowing when is a bit harder your doc should beable to tell you that. Next off yes it is safe to have sex while you are pg. More then likely you will let your hunny touch you again. Not sure on your chances of misscarring thats a chance with all pgs. Mainly the first pg they say your misscarry chances are higher and that you might not even know you did. You just don't stress and take care of yourself. Good luck...

I agree, stay in school keep your job even a part time would be great. Find your support group you'll need it, you're young, you'll have struggles we all do, find some help theres lots out there. Congrats and good luck

Girl, whats up. I am 17 and pregnant too and I know what you mean. I am 2 and half months right now.. I have a job where im up at 6:30 am everyday and get home around 4:30 pm.. And my job includes alot of heavy lifting etc, and its really hard on me, I cant stand on my feet for as long and I just dont have the energy I usually have, and I usually throw up at least once a day from it.. But I need the money.. Altho im wondering if maybe im harming myself or the baby from my job.. But anyways.. Start taking prenatal vitamins, when I started taking them I noticed that they helped a little bit.. I also feel really bad I havent done anything with my bf in probably a month and a half and hes kinda getting frustrated.. I still cuddle with him and stuff.. But I just dont feel like doing anything else and I wish I did.. Also.. Stay in school.. Theres no reason not to go.. Its ur choice obviously, I dropped outta skewl a while ago. Its not my thing, I hate it there and just dont wanna go back even tho I know I should...Its hard to tell the chances of miscarriage except that it decreases after ur first trimester...And last, about the eating, I find myself not being as hiungry as I usually was wich I dont understand..But ur not gonna be twice as hungry for twice as much food.. Just when u do eat make sure your eating healthy, you dont have to eat alot..Basicly just try to to stick with "canadas food guide" (or whatever its called..If u live in canada) is the best way I can describe it, try to get more protein and iron..Drink/eat dairy products they build the babys bones, meat and alternatives build muscles and blood. Vegetables are for the babys brain and nerves, grain products are for the growth of ur baby, and take ur vitamins...U can find a pregnancy calculator online, but usually u get pregnant around the 14th day after ur last period, that should give u a aproximate result.. Sorry if I rambled on too much, good luck

Ok I dont agree with the getting pregnant after 14 days of your period. Cause it is two to four days after. That is when you are the most fertial.

Hi! Well about 2 weeks into august I found out that I was going to be a mommie, I was working also and stressed out about alot of things like my mama not likin' my baby daddy and puttin' him down. Like 3 weeks ago I was discharging pink stuff and I began to worry. I went to the hospital and they said my babies heart beat stoped. No body would tell me what thecause was but I know it was because of workin the way I was and of course stress. U can keep your job but please dont over work yourself!! As far as school you should go back because you have to make a future for you and your child. :?

No sweety it isnt your fault.. Things lilke this happen. I promise you cant blame yourself. Please dont..
