Yup, all normal. My hair kind of did the same thing, but now (after pregnancy) it is thicker and healthier than ever.

I have no idea how to balance high school and pregnancy. Others on her have or are doing it. I'm sure they can give you some tips on how they managed. My advice would be: Don't use your pregnancy as an excuse for not being able to do things. Don't expect people to give you special treatment. Just work hard. I would think that being in school while your pregnant would be the easy part. Just imagine when you have to get up during the night for feedings or a fussy baby, and then get up and get yourself and a baby ready so you can make it to school on time. Then when you get home you need to do your homework, but the baby needs to be fed, changed, and cuddled. Wow! I honestly couldn't imagine!!! I work and have to be there at 8:00am, and have a really hard time getting everything I need to have done.

I wish you all the best and congrats on finially getting everything straightened around with your families.

thanks everyone. and yes i will talk to danzabell. i dont like the fact that i cant do a lot of the things i used to could do. but its all worth it at the end right!?? yeah i dont used me being pregnate as an excuse at home. i used to sleep on a very HEAVY hide-a-bed that i had to put up every morning. it weighs a little over 100pds its an antique. but now i have a regular bed cuz they were afraid id hurt my self putting the bed in and out. since you have tobend over and pull and sqat and stuff. but i could never get help taking it in or out. but finally thats over with:) i have another question.

i live in louisiana and tornadoes happen atleast twice a yr here. and my biggest fear is wind. i know its stupid. but thats been my fear since i can remember. so every time the weather looks bad i stress. and before i got pregnate when i got worried and stressed my belly would hurt badly. and now that im pregnate it hurts WORSE. am i hurting my baby when i worrry? if so is there anything i can do? ill never get over my fear.

and this qestion. im a teen as you all know. and like all teens ive had horrible depression. anough to do stupid things. but im over that. been over it for about 2 yrs. but now that im pregnate i get sad real easy. am i going to relapse in to bad depression or is it just a mood swing??? this has me very scared. pls help.

I would talk to your dr tell them about your depression and history of it and sounds like panic attacks about weather but again tell dr about it too ok.

Hi Leslie,
Congrats on your pregnancy. I just wanted to add pre natal vitamins incase you are not taking them yet. Mood swing are very very normal. When you feel them, remind yourself that it's your hormones and don't freak out. Stress is not good for you or your baby. Find something that can help you with that. Music and candles, a walk, funny movies, or whatever works for you.
Take care

It's normal to feel upset about not being able to do everything the average teen does, but things can be done! I never thought i would be sitting my final exams two weeks away from my due date but here i am five exams down and four to go!
