Heather is right....no matter what age you are...there are always worries...whether it be about the pregnancy itself or the changes that will happen in YOUR life once tha baby arrives...It's all normal.....Talk to your Dr. about the possible depression...there are meds that re safe to take during pregnancy.  Best wishes.....You can still make school happen!  :O)

Make sure you talk to your doctor and give your baby the best prenatal care you can. I think any mom to be no matter how old she is worries about what will happen once baby arrives. Good luck to you and I read your journal...you are young but it sounds like this baby will get lots of love!
