young mother

Since I am a younger mother (I'm 18) will I have more health problems compared to a mother who's in her late 20s? I'm only 4 weeks and I'm having terrible pains already...please help!

My father in law always told me to eat more bananas bc I had bad leg cramps at night. I'm not sure how true it is.

The younger the better. In all of history, we had babies so young and it was okay. The older like 30, all have worrisome pregnancies. But you are young. If your family history is good and you aren't driving or smoking ANYTHING, enjoy pregnancy.

No you should be fine. I've HEARD it's really young mom's and older mom's that could have a harder pregnancy.  But every young mom I've seen had had a good pregnancy.
