Interesting discussion. I've been following this board, and the other pregnancy boards and maternal and child for awhile, that this board has it's own "character", for sure! On this board, mothers talk a LOT about their physical appearance concerns, concerns and frustrations with restricted movement or diet, concerns about what beauty products they aren't allowed to use, etc. And wanting to get the baby out early. Much more than on the other boards - the questions on the other board tend to be related to health issues, fear of loss, fear about the baby's development, concerns about understanding doctor's advice, etc.
It's youth. I find this board invigorating, but I will say I often feel like many pregnant women in this board are unprepared for the responsibilities that the birth of their babies will bring.
Definitely a surprise for me. Me and my boyfriend didn't do anything to prevent it, its just we went so long without getting me pregnant I didn't think I could at first. But it took me off guard that's for sure!

Well this is the 18-24 pregnancy forum. I'm only 18, but me and my fiancee' have been together for 4 years. We started dating in 9th grade and never stopped. His mom ended up abandoning him and my mom took him in only 4 months after we started dating and we have lived together since. We moved out on our own at 17 and are more in love than anyone else we know. We didn't plan for this to happen because we're so young, but we are very happy about it and ready to welcome our little girl into this world. 22 days left. <3

I'm 19, my boyfriend Is 21. Ours was unexpected. We've been together for almost 3 years (Feb. will be 3 years) but I was on BC for awhile and then got off of It due to a lot of reasons... we had unprotected sex since I got off of the BC and we were very "lucky" for awhile usin' the pull out method until my son decided he wanted to be made. But we are very happy with the outcome and I can't wait to meet my son and have him In my arms!
