Q: Young And Pregnant---need Help From Experienced

I am not sure this is a reply but more like a question.....I am 18 and have a baby on the way my doctors say I am 10 weeks so I am about ten weeks and 2 days. But that's not the problem the problem is even though I get sick all the time (like morning sickness and when I smell certain things and drive in a car) I don't feel pregnant. I saw the baby on the ultrasound and I saw the heartbeat but I am still scared because I don't know what happening. I haven't bled, or discharged (if you don't mind me saying) so I am sure (but not positive) I didn't have a miscarriage but I am still worried and scared could one of you experienced mothers tell me if this is normal, please?

well, I hope I can give youso me good advise on this. I was 19 when ui found out I was pregnant with my son. I am now 21 and he is only 14 months old. I wasn't really scared when I found out I was pregnant. I too just didnt feel pregnant. I knew I was. I too was sick throughtout my entire pregnancy. I was pregnant. Not once did I feel I did not want the baby. I just didnt really htink about being pregnant. I did feel like I was.
After I had my son. In my mind I was really scared. You never know responcibilty until you have this little human being in your arms that is completely helpless, it depends soley upon you. I did act out the way I was feeling. I kept it inside. But I have talked to alot of people and they have felt that too. Just didnt say anytihing about. Angry, mad, so on. But I must tell you. My son is the greatset oart of my life. I love him so much. Ihave such and angel. Once you get passed their immobilty and their learn to crawl and say their forst word and theycan smile and find other ways to communictae with you it becomes so wonderful. Your know longer a pregnant young girl or a young girlt hat just had a baby. Your a mother. And it can be very rewarding if you let it be. I promise it always works out.

You wont feel anything for awhile. I am 18 weeks pregnant. Some people don't even fell the baby move until about 20 weeks. You should go to babycenter.Com they give you emails every week about what is going on with you and how your baby is growing. I felt the same as you for a long time, but after talking to friends who told me that you really don't feel too much different than normal I feel much better. You are just beoming a worrywart like we all are when we are pregnant.
