Q: Turning 20 and pregnant
asked by: Scaredlittlebear on September 30th, 2009

I'm 19 turning 20 I recently been seeing this lovely boy 6 yrs older than me, things have been going so nicely we've been having so much fun. Today I took a home pregnancy test and it showed positive. I don't have a clue what to do.. If I should tell him or anyone. Would he hate me? Would I ruin his life? I don't want things to change for the worst.
I need advice on the whole matter.
I also have O neg blood and have heard this to be a problem durring pregnancy?
As well I don't know what I should and should not be eating?
Is cramping normal?
Please advise away!

hi, firstly what u should be eating is really healthy stuff like fruit vegitables and all that stuff that makes a balanced diet.

you should avoid some fish that contain mercury and some seafood. raw meets and raw eggs are bad with the risks of food poisioning.

you can find alot of infomation about what to eat and what 2 avoid on the internet. prenancy books are good as well. my favorite book is what to expect when your expecting. and pregnancy vitimains are very important as well.

i was 19 when i got pregnant with my first baby and my partner was only 20. having 1 baby dosent really change your life that much. you just have an extra person to look after and love. being a mum is pretty easy i think, tho some think its hard. my son brings me so much happyness and i am so proud to be his mum, i could have never imagined how amazing it would be. it realy is such an amazing experiance.

i think you should tell your man, he should be mature enough and possibly ready for a baby. its such exciting news i dont know how u can keep it to yourself. theres only 1 way to findout how he feels about it!

i dont know anything about the o negitive blood type probably see your doctor about that.

cramping is normal as long as its mild and not constant.

i wish all the best for you! and look after youself!

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I really do want to tell him but we've only been seeing each other for 4 months and it's not like we just jumped into bed with each other we waited! Haha isn't that the way?
I've been eating extremely healthy for the last 4 weeks and I didn't even know.
I just couldn't bear to crush him.
I'm in the middle..
I'm really excited but nervous as to his reactions and the change my life will take on.
I'm keeping it to my self because I'm scared everyone will go against me I am still very young.
Xx.

you shoud tell him asap to his face so you can see his reaction i think! moving 2 qld wont be so bad if u decide 2. i lived in qld 4 16 years it is really hot most of the time but most places have air con. i had my first baby in qld it was all good. i now live in tasmania and i like it better hear!

i think tell him as soon as you can and if u choose to move with him all you can do is give it a go. it could work out being a really good change or otherwize u just move back. just see how he feels for now.

hope you keep us updated, good luck!
