I had my first at 18, no matter what happens, stay in school. I'm now a single mom of 2 and I'm glad I went to college. Also, go to pregnancy centers, you get a lot of baby supplies for free, huge help. Good luck!

Tell your parents if you didn't already. Make doc appointment to see if they can see anything n  let ya know how far ya are. Take prenatal vitamins. Preparation yourself for things to come. Ask questions. Hopefully you have people to support you because no matter your age everyone needs support. Don't give up no matter how hard life gets.  Try to eat healthy foods. Drink more water than anything else. Research.  Plan. Enjoy. You're pregnancy.

Don't panic. Read as much literature as you can. and take pregnancy/ parenting classes. They will help to ease your fears and get you prepared for child birth and motherhood.

Make sure you're taking your prenatal vitamins and drinking lots of water. Stay away from undercooked or raw eggs and meats. Limit your caffine intake to 200 mg or less (coffee, chocolate, sodas, tea) all those things have caffine so make sure to moniter your intake. Dont drink any energy drinks. Listen to your body it will let you know if you're doing to much.  Try to start a habit of sleeping on your left side now its the best position to sleep during pregnancy. Take it easy and congrats momma!
