I am 13 and I want to get pregnant.?
I am 13(as you can see above) and I want to have a baby.
Don’t tell me I’m not ready, because I am.
I have enough money to raise it for about four years even if it has a disability and needs more care(I have been babysitting for three years and been saving every penny) and while using that money I will be earning more.
My parents said that if I ever had a baby while still living in their house they would help take care of it.
I won’t be "throwing my life away" as I never do anything with friends unless they come over( which rarely happens).
I am already taking college classes, so I will be able to get a job later in life to support the child.
I know how to take care of it as I have been babysitting for children 3 and under for three years.
I have picked out everything the baby will need for the first year of its life (the total comes up to 861.40)
I know that I will have to wake up in the middle of the night multiple times as I have taken care of my friends baby for 1 month when she was in the hospital.
I have read multiple articles on how to care for the baby and the risks of having it at my age.
I have read about being pregnant and how tired and cranky it makes you.
The only thing I am not sure about is how the pregnancy is. Please don’t tell me I am not ready or that I should not do this because you don’t know me. I am 100% ready for this baby.
My only questions are:
1. What is it like to be pregnant?
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
3. What do you eat?
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
5. What is it like going into labor?
6. What do the contractions feel like?
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?
Thank you(:
And please, give as long as an answer as you can with as much detail, this is very important to me.
the 861.40 was the FURNITURE!! I understand that you misread, but it was my fault for not putting enough detail. I apologize. I know it will cost very much for the baby, but I have been babysitting( I receive about 200 every month) I have holiday money( I have a small family and most of my relatives are rather wealthy and I get about 300 every holiday and about 500 on my birthday) I have a debit care with over 1000 on it, and I plan on babysitting until the baby comes, if I decide to have it. I am in high school and will be graduating in about three years. Then I will be in college for about a year, so I will be done with school at the age of 17. At 16 I will get a job, it won’t be the best job but it will be a salary. When I graduate I will get a better job. As for the care of my child while I am attending classes, my school has a program where the nurse will take care of your children at the school while you are in class as long as you have all B’s or above, I have an all A average.
And as for the risks thing, I was just saying that I understood that there were risks. And yes, I hav gone through puberty(when I was 10 I got my menstrual cycle).
Also, I don’t really have a life as a teenage at school. I have three friends, nobody else really talks to me except for the male population at the school. I do not intend to brag or anything, but I am considered quite pretty.

What about high school? what happens after the 4 years? any job you get without an education is going to be low income. No thirteen year old, no matter how much they may think otherwise, is ready to have a baby.
Your life is sad.
Oh my lord its gonna hurt you don’t do it at that age!!!!!!
"I have enough money to raise it for about four years even if it has a disability and needs more care(I have been babysitting for three years and been saving every penny) and while using that money I will be earning more."
You think you can save enough money to support a baby for FOUR years on babysitting money? Even 3 years of saving your babysitting money? Even if it is DISABLED?
You have no idea….
(At your age the father will probably be arrested for rape and/or child molestation)
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
You have really good grammar for a 13-year-old. Does that mean you’re ready for a baby as well?
Your age has lots to do with the health of your baby! Wait a couple of years so you wont put your baby at risk!
you say you know the risks and if thats so why would you want to get pregnant? do you want your child to go through life with brain damage or other problems? because at your age its very likely that something will be wrong with it. how could you be so selfish?
thats just horrible.
that sick and wrong
you are NOT ready. yup, i said it.
everyone thinks their ready but they’re not.
you’re not even in highschool!
without an education you can’t get a job
and surely you’re not going to babysit for the rest of your life.
GROW UP.
Marriage first, then sex. Ruins your plan, huh?
I know you don’t want anybody to say you aren’t ready but trust me, you aren’t. I KNOW you think you are, but you definietly aren’t no matter whatg you may believe. Please just believe me, you do not want a baby at 13.
I’ll answer your questions anyways, but I still really hope youh do not go through with this. It would be a big mistake and I know that is not what you want to hear, but seriously, you do not even know what you are saying.
1. What is it like to be pregnant?
You may get sick a lot or be spotting. You eat and pee a lot. You could get put on bed rest. It is not the most pleasent thing ever.
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
Side or back.
3. What do you eat?
Healthy food, no sushi. All sea food is risky.
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
It depends on how the pregnancy is going, but often. Probably more in your case, since you are 13.
5. What is it like going into labor?
Extremely painful, and it lasts forever.
6. What do the contractions feel like?
HURTS
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
You just have to come out and say it. They will find out anyways.
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?
Sometimes just a day, but it all depends.
You shouldnt be saying "thank you" because you arent going to find ANYONE on here who is going to support you in this and for good reason too! You are a child! You have no idea how much it would cost to raise a baby. Under $900 for the first year?? Are you kidding me? No way that includes medical bills for prenatal care or your hospital stay. For Christ’s sake do you even know how expensive diapers are and how many of those you need for the first year? Im pretty sure that would be your entire $900 budget right there.
Enjoy your childhood. Become a mother when you have a loving supportive partner and you dont have to worry about "how do I tell my parents?"
You think it costs 861.40 for the baby’s first year of life? Try more along the lines of 5,550. Look at this http://www.babycenter.com/babyCostCalculator.htm it estimates the cost of the first year of life. And that doesn’t include prenatal care.
There is NO WAY that you are finacially ready for a child at age 13. It costs 100,000 to raise a child in the first 18 years of life. Once you have that baby, there is no undoing it. Babysitting for three years? Yeah, that’s a real job.
Don’t get pregnant. Get a puppy.
They’re needy, loving, messy, and cheaper.
To answer your actually question about labor… this video is a vlog of childbirth. http://www.youtube.com/user/SHAYTARDS?blend=2&ob=1#p/search/0/kroua3nzmIU
Well sounds like you did your research but remember its JUST research. Having a baby is so much more different then what you are reading. A child is in need 24/7, you don’t get a break and its not your parents job to raise your child. Your only 13 and I know you don’t want to hear this but you are definately NOT ready. It costs way more then 800 and some dollars for a baby in the first year! And you only spent 1 month getting up with a child in the middle of the night, thats nothing. Its exhausting and its great your working on your education but that will all disappear if you have a baby.
Being pregnant is something that is exciting and joyful when your old enough and mature and financially stable to raise the baby. Your 13 so your none of the above. I can’t answer your questions because I feel like that would be fuelling your desire to have a child and I just cannot do that.
ETA: Even with everything you just added to your post it does not change my opinion that you are NOT ready for a child. You really think babysitting and birthday money will support your child!? Then again you are 13 so with your mentality of course you think thats enough to support your child. It honestly sounds like you just want a baby to fill the void of not having many friends or a social life. A baby will NOT fill that void just so you know. Also, 861 may buy the furniture but babysitting and birthday money will not cover the monthly costs of what it is to raise a child. I spent over 1000 dollars just on baby furniture alone and that was even with things given to me! My baby is almost 9 weeks now and I know I’ve spend 100’s between formula and diapers in the first month. 1000 dollars is nothing to have in your account because it will be drained within weeks of having your baby. Also, are you factoring in the cost of health care for the baby, like meds and when time comes for the dentist and eye doctor and school. It all costs money little girl. You need to just enjoy being a teenage because before you know it you will be a adult and have to take on the responsibilty of children, bills, and life in general. Enjoy the time where all you have to worry about is just yourself!
You honestly think one year is gonna come out to $861?!?!? HA! You also need to think of the emotional scars, the physical ones (you ready for stretch marks?), and just the fact that having a child at freaking 13 is insane…you need to do some growing up, honey…get a puppy.
oh, and I just got my bill for my entire pregnancy (I’m 7 weeks along now), and it’s going to be $3,000 – not including blood work, ultrasounds, other tests, and the hospital’s bill.
okay , you don’t wanna hear it but here it is. your 13 years old , and you are NOT ready no matter what you say. you can read all you want , but your never gonna know how hard it can be untill you actually are. which that should be LATER IN LIFE and you should be able to experiance it with someone you love…idk if you have a bf or what ? but i’m sure he doesn’t have tha same idea as you do about this…you will ruin whatever relationship you might have. you have to think about tha guy too…this will effect his life as well , and unless your planning to go to a sperm bank you need to stop being so selfish. with everything you said it sounds like your trying to covence us all that your ready for a baby , when all you have convenced me of is that you are in some desperate need of attention…and this will get you tha bad kind.
and 13 ???? have you even hit puberty ?? if your hips arent wide enough this means your birth canal is not wide enough either and you could actually die from having tha baby…then who would take care of it ? i’m sure your mom and dad don;t wanna go through 18 more years of taking care of someone else’s kid. and even if you live through birthing tha baby who will take care of it while your at school ??? people have to work you know…and babysitters are expensive. you seem like a very intelligent girl , so don’t let your brain go to waste..this is tha stupidest decision ever. and your taking college classes now ? what are you gonna do when you can’t catch up with school work bc you have to take care of your baby and ofcourse you will be outta school for maternity leave and what not…you’ll prob fall so far behind , you’ll end up being held back. this just doesn’t make sense to me. i think what you need is some love , and this is a big cry for help. you don’t need to ruin your life. don’t be an idiot.
I know you really think you have all this figured out, but you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Please listen to all these people who say the same thing. You are still a child yourself. YES, YOU ARE !!! Just the fact that you say that you will be spending $861.40 for the first year of the baby’s life shows how little you understand. YOU HAVE NO CLUE. I’m not putting you down. I’m just being real.
You’re in a fantasy, child.
I feel really bad for you- your life is so sad
- Your parents clearly haven’t provided you with values and ethics as they should have or either you took what they had to say the wrong way, telling a 13 year old that its ok to have a baby if it happens is absolutely wrong, in many provinces and states, your not even legal to be having sex , your considered a minor, a baby yourself, and your body is by NO means ready to start having children, your still growing into a teenager never mind an adult.
At 13, you should be thinking about what your going to wear to a friends party, giggling about boys, and having the time of your life, NOT planning on conceiving a child
And hunny, I have a degree in Child development, a diploma in Early Childhood education, A diploma in Social services and a Diploma in Child and Youth care and Im pregnant with my first and STILL learning all about what it takes to be pregnant and raise a baby all the while I continue pursing a higher level of education, working as much as I can to provide for my home and my husband and I are beginning to learn how life together is going to play into becoming parents- its a wonderful thing and something to work towards, but by no means is this a walk in the park, even at 25 years old, married , its sometimes hard when at social events with friends to feel disconnected from some of there activities, being pregnant leaves you so very tired and so little time to do anything outside of the everyday, and its hard
I dont kno where you get this $900 number from when it comes to providing for items needed for baby, but last time we went shopping for the basics- which wasn’t much considering everyone has either bought us stuff or giving us stuff- it cost already $1000 in diapers, bottles, breast pump, pads, new bras for me , clothes as I keep growing, HEALTH CARE costs us over $130 a month even with both of our extended benefits plans- lol so you got another thing coming baby
You are NOT ready to have a baby- those questions your asking aren’t even thoughts when your in a time and place to have a child, realize your a little baby girl yourself, you have absolutely nothing positive to offer a child
Ever stop to think how absolutely selfish you sound, you dont have a husband or a serious boyfriend to father this child with you, and be an active father in this child’s life, so basically you want to bring a baby into this world with HALF of what it should have and needs all because you- the selfish little girl, wants to have a baby—-thas incredibly sad
Even if you say you’re ready for a baby, is your body ready? You have to be in good health to be able to have a baby and girls who are usually 13 don’t usually have bodies strong enough to do it. Also don’t burden your parents with another child. This affects them as much as if affects you. Don’t just go off and have a baby because that’s a very selfish act assuming your parents will just help also. They have their own responsibilities too. Also take in account how they will feel if their baby girl comes back pregnant. They’ll probably feel like failures. If this baby becomes fucked up then it’s your fault for being a immature brat. If you have a baby know this kid is your responsibility for 18years. Are you going to throw away your whole childhood? Are you ready to dedicate your whole life to this kid. To pay for everything? You can’t just go ahead and add up all the funds because you can never be sure. All you can know this baby might drain all your funds in the first year. I understand this is important, but just wait. Enjoy being a kid before having one.
lmao, girl look
861.40 wont last. you cant support a child and yourself by babysitting. having your own child is so much more different than taking care of someone elses child for a few hours.
you need to let yourself grow, and give yourself time. i was 19 when i had my daughter and i felt i was too young. trust me, being a teen parent is not easy!
sweetie, don’t listen to these people if your ready and really want this then go for it, age doesn’t matter. i was sixteen when i had my baby and my life changed a lot so far my baby showed me who i am and shes my world
1. What is it like to be pregnant?
well morning sickness sucks i hated it, but when my baby moved it was such the best feeling ever and when she kicked me yes sometime it hurt but i was in love with her the min i knew i was pregnant
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
for the first 3 months on my back but after that it hurt so then i slept on my side
3. What do you eat?
i ate very healthy, but a lot lol no fast foods.
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
first 4 months i went 3 times a month after that it was every other week
5. What is it like going into labor?
so scary because my water broke at school! i got rush to the hospital and my labor when slow 18 hours it was like hell i had the worst backache and i just wanted my little one out . i had meds so that helped a lot!
6. What do the contractions feel like?
they hurt a lot it feels like someone is ripping your tummy out
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
well i told my mom because im close to her i was sitting in 1st hour one day and i texted her and said "mommy, your going to hate me:( im 4 weeks pregnant" and she texted me back "kaylee what?! no your not don’t even joke" i said "mom i am im sorry" and my mom said " i cant believe you"….so that night i didn’t come home till like 9pm and my mom had told my dad and my mom and dad were very heart broken and stuff but they helped me out and when they met there granddaughter they fell in love with her.
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?
i had to stay 2 days and the baby stayed 2weeks because of RSV.
i wish you the best….ever wanna talk you can email me…mommykaylee101@yahoo.com
good luck xoxox
HOLY CRAP KID!
What the HELL are you doing??? LIVE your life! You’re only 13 years old! Take it from ADULTS who know what they are doing. Half the people that have answered this question have had babies in their lives, and they know what they are talking about. You could do some serious damage to you, and your baby’s life! It is extremely hard to take care of a disabled child. You think that having a baby will make you look more grown up? Sorry honey, but it doesn’t! It makes you look trashy, ESPECIALLY being 13 years old! Is it because you see a lot of older high school girls getting pregnant? Imagine what they go through. Everyone picks on them, and it could really do some damage to your self esteem…You seem awfully selfish putting that stress on your baby, AND your parents…Just because you do research, doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about.
Please kid, just listen to us. Untill you are happily married, with a partner who you know will be there for you, and untill you are financially ready…KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED!
I seriously want you to think about this for a while. You need to remember, you are putting a lot on the line. PS I know for a fact you can not support a baby on your babysitting money.
if thats what u want then thats what u want… but i would like to say that first off, its going to cost over $600 the first year in JUST diapers. so idk what you calculated for that baby… but formula is also very expensive, and food, and clothes. im sure u know how cuz u’ve babysat n stuff but ask the parents you babysit for how much they spend on their baby.
http://www.babycenter.com/babyCostCalculator.htm
that will show u how much it will cost the 1st year…. for only diapering and feeding it says it will cost $4,000 for the 1st year. thats without clothes, toys, medicine, or anything like that.
as for your questions….
1. pregnany is miserable, its painful, you’re emotional and hormonal
2. i dont sleep at all, the beginning you can sleep however, but when u get futher along u can only really sleep on ur back
3. it depends
4. at first you go every few weeks, and later you go every month
5. labor sucks and hurts
6. contractions feel like the worst cramping pain you could ever imagine. that still makes it sound good
7. idk
8. if the baby is full term and is healthy youll stay about 2 or 3 days
1. What is it like to be pregnant?
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
3. What do you eat?
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
5. What is it like going into labor?
6. What do the contractions feel like?
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?
Answers:
1. Painful, long, everything hurts, you feel sick all the time, cant sleep for your growing belly that is causing you so much discomfort, you dread even standing up, you swell, stretch marks all over your belly that itch and hurt, get fat, hungry all the time for things you don’t have in the house, worry about everything, cry about the smallest things, headaches, backaches, you get kicked in the ribs, nerve pains so bad it brings you to the floor, and throwing up all the time. (this is why you are cranky all the time btw)
2. you can only sleep on your sides (mostly your left) and it gets old quick with the neck pains and back pains.
3.you cant eat tons of things that you like and want so badly like caffeine, most fish, raw fish or meats, peanuts, lunch meat, soft cheese and much more.
4.you have to go to the doctor all the time! once a month till 6 months then every other week then every week starting at 30-35 weeks, and they are up in places and feeling on things that are very uncomfortable!
5. I have not done this part yet but come on! everyone knows its like the worst pain on earth! then there is ripping of privates when baby comes out and going num 2 on your self! oh what fun…
6.contractions hurt in your back and you feel an extremely tight squeeze in your belly that makes you feel like a leg cramp in your abdomen.
7.walk up to them and say "hey mom, dad i’m pregnant."
8.depending on how the birth went but mostly 3-4 days.
now there are some amazing parts of pregnancy, but at you will not be paying any attention to them when your body is this young trying to make a baby, it will be even harder than even my words have said now for you, I have wanted a baby from the age of 13 to now, i tried and tried but oh my, im glad now that I didn’t. I am 19 married pregnant and im having a hard time, so please wait. I will come in time. =] hope I helped.
Ignore the people with the rude comments. It seems to me (even tho your only 13) that you are very much a mature girl. I have one pregnant with another and only 18 and i don’t know half the stuff you do lol. Ok to answer your questions in my perspective:
First of all being pregnant has its ups and downs. For instants you get sick all the time (but it subsides) you have (some woman) heartburn, backaches, headaches, frequent urination, sleepiness and in my case sometimes you don’t sleep (in my case i have an 11 month old to care for as well thank god i am married lol) but the good things are the sickness headaches and frequent urination subside and the best part is feeling the baby move and kick and the hiccups (so cute) finding out the sex of the baby and then shopping for it. I loved and love being pregnant thats my opinion. But the thing with me i also had to suffer with flipping ovaries and my son sitting on my bladder.i dont know what this one is going to do for i am only 12 weeks. ok……
second i like to sleep on my stomach but it kinda gets hard to with the big belly in all lol so when i got big i layed on my left side or my back. i found sleeping on my back with a pillow under my lower back was very comfortable. whateverI wanted to eat I did because the doctor said it didnt matter what I ate. The only thing they said to stay away from was alot of caffeine and sugar. Ok thirdly I had and have to go to my ob every month untill i get into my sixth month then i would go twice a month untill i got into my 8th month then they make me come every week. For the fifth quesdon’t i dont know what labor feels like. I had to have an emergency c section. The baby was sitting on my bladder making me and him sick with every passing minute. Also i stoped dialating at 9cm. That was the worst kind of pain i had to be in of corse I didnt feel them cutting me open only because they had to put me to sleep. After i words i couldnt stand for a few hours (the docs said that i was crazy because i got up and walked like 3 hours after getting my stomach sliced open.) Anyways i had a 10inch cut across my stomach and it didnt heal all the way for 6 weeks. Now that my son is 11months i still have no feeling were they cut me. Also the only real bad thing about have a c section is i HAVE to have one with every one of my kids i plan on having. But the one good thing is now i can choose the date my kid will be born on lol. Contractions didnt hurt me because they gave me an epidural before i actually started having themdon’t i dont really no what they feel like. But my sister couldn’tcouldnt have the epidural and they were hurting her. She said they felt like someone was stabbing her in the stomach. Think of a real bad menstrual cramps. I cant really tell you how to tell your parents my mother went with me to the doctors when i found out i was prego. My father wasnt in my life until like a month ago so he didnt know until my son was born. But now that im prego again he knows and he cant wait till it is born. I stayed in the hospital 5 days after my son was born only because i had the c section. Over here in Kentuky (i dont know were you live) if you have a baby vaginally i heard you can go home within like 1-2 days. It depends on how you heal and how your baby is doing.
Im not telling you to go out and get prego and im not telling you how to live your life. But 13 is way to young to have a kid. I had my first child when i was 17 i got prego with him when i was 16. I had to drop out of school get married and move in with my babys daddy only 2 months after i found out. I know most people stay in school but i was moving and the pregnancy was REALLY hard on me in the beginning I couldn’t sleep and i was in miserable pain and i was nauseated all day long. I wish i would have waited and you need to to. Dont go out and waist your life on something you can have when you turn 20. Your only thirteen taking college corses you can have a really great life. Make that life for the little one in the future. Not for the little one now. Trust me I cant even get back in school or get a job because i have a baby. Its hard out there when you have a kid. All of my friends stopped talking to me because I couldnt go out in party. Ya the thought of having a baby seems fun until you have one and cant give it back to the parent because guess what: you are the parent. Wait untill you are 20 or 21. That way you can have a little bit of fun before you tie yourself down with a child. Im 18 and the only thing i have done was go out for one night on January 16 when i turned 18 and now its July 24 and I haven’ti done nothing since January. Save your childhood. But i am not your mother you dont have to listen to me Just take my advice into consideration. Good luck.
I think its sad young kids think they need and sometimes have children. What ever happened to baby dolls that you pretend with?!?! But I also feel someone just made this up.. or the kid is making up things… Really your 13 with college classes and have babysat since 10? That still is a baby!
Obviously your parents need to get you a reality check and a psychiatrist quick, dont think a baby would solve your problems.. A child your age shouldn’t be having sex anyways…
Hun,
I think that you shouldn’t listen to everyone else. Honestly at 13 I would never think anyone could care for a baby but if you think your ready then your ready. There are consequences though, i’m not trying to be mean but you will NOT get a boyfriend easily at all, you will be known as "the pregnant girl" at school. You might think your ready but re-consider it. No 13 year old boy is going to take responsibility and be mature like you. Do you not want your child to have a father? Do you want to lose friends over a baby? Do you want a bad rep because your the girl who got knocked up?
When your pregnant there is no going back. There is a living being inside you. You won’t be known quite pretty once you’ve gotten pregnant. You sound mature and stuff but I would re-consider if i were you.
1.) Being pregnant is unforgettable (I speak from experience) Morning sickness pain and sometimes joy from knowing your going to be a mom. It’s very tough to go through with it though.
2.) Side mostly when I was pregnant. When I laid on my back for the first few months it was fine but when i got heavier it started to hurt like the baby was pushing against my spine.
3.) I ate a lot of healthy.
4.) Since you are young you would have to go often.
5.) It’s painful and it seems like a minute is a year. You want to be dead, it would be so much more nice than that pain… what i am saying is it hurts like hell. Trust me.
6.) They hurt! Not so bad at first but they get bad!
7.) They are going to find out sooner or later but its easier to tell them later to be honest with you but they will probably find out before hand.
8.) it depends. I stayed for 3 days.
a tip when your in the hospital use the nurses help let them take care of your baby so you can get sleep lots and lots of sleep
You are an idoit, it is unhealthy to have a baby that young.
Your life will be ruined, no babysitting job is going to pay for a baby, ever think of its shots and how much it cost the dilver a baby? even with insurence its hundreds of dollars. Disabled? ha good luck with that. My sister is, and it effects everything
YOU ARE NOT READY YOUR JUST PLAIN DUMB.
OKay im not going to judge you or anything but, do you know you can die and so can your baby your body isn’t. ready for a 7 pound baby to come out your vagina. but there is still a chance you will live but its very slim i am 13 too and i want a baby too but i am not going to put a baby in harm of dying for my selfish needs. yes you sound ready but your body isn’t ready. if you wanna get pregnant wait 2 or 3 more years so your body can get ready and ur 13 and taking college classes?
ohkay trust me, i used to want a baby…im in love and im having a fright now. you dont want to tell your parents your having a baby!
you want a baby but you dont want to have a baby!
i was in that situation be careful what you wish for
I’m in the same boat as you
I’m sixteen and trying to get pregnant and my boyfriend is fourteen.
1. What is it like to be pregnant?
No clue but apparently you get lots of cramping, morning sickness, and you crave random food x]
2. How do you sleep while pregnant(what position)
Most people can sleep on their belly for the first trimester but after that it becomes uncomfortable so they sleep on their sides because apparently sleeping on your back could cut off circulation in the umbilical cord. If you must sleep on your belly you can get this pillow thing =]
3. What do you eat?
Eat healthy foods but also listen to your cravings =] Because what you’re craving is the nutrients the baby needs.
4. How often do you have to go to the doctor/
You go as soon as you find out you’re pregnant through pregnancy test or go to the doctor to get a blood test to find out if you’re pregnant and then from there you have monthly appointments and you get some ultrasounds and hear your baby’s heart beat:)
5. What is it like going into labor?
It’s apparently like period pains x 10. But once you get the medisin you can barley feel a thing, except burning when the baby’s head is coming.
6. What do the contractions feel like?
Probley like MAJOR period cramps.
Not sure
7. How can I tell my parents I am pregnant?
I think you should write them up a letter, explaning that you’re pregnant you can say it was an accident {Im sure if you said you planned on it they’d get mad}, and explain your plans and it should ease their mind a bit. Get two copies of the letter and sit them down and say, mom and dad I’m pregnant but before you say a thing please read this. It’ll show maturity :]
8. How long do you stay in the hospital after the baby is born?
You usually stay a day or over night depending on when you deliver. & it could be longer if the baby is premature or there’s complications.
Good luck btw
I’m really ticked off at everyone who’s giving you shit. Who says you have to be 30 years old to have a baby ? Waay back thousands of years ago it was natural for girls 12-17 to be having children. And plus you’re more prepared then any 30 year old will ever be :]
Just try to babysit lots of babies and ALWAYS research even buy a ‘What to expect book’ and a newborn book so you will be extra prepared :]
