17 and pregnant

[YoungMa]

Hey, my name is Brittney. I'm new to this. I'm 17 years old, and my boyfriend of three absolutely awesome years is 19. We are now 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I am now so excited. I wish he understood pregnancy hormones are what's making me so edgy and emotional hopefully that's done though, because I'm already almost 3 months. I didn't. Find out I was pregnant until I was about 2 months along.. And didn't know how far along I was until 9 weeks and 2 days at my dating US. I love my boyfriend.. does anyone know of any websites for him to read about how to handle a pregnant woman? Lol. Hope someone can help. Thanks for reading.

Hey Britney ! Congrats on your little one and welcome
My name is Kayla, 19 and 12 weeks pregnant with my first.
I was 4 weeks along when I found out.
And as for guys, they are stupid sometimes.. They have no idea what's going on with us !
There all chill and relaxed and were all edgy and bitchy, lol.
My boyfriend was like yours at first, but in the end figured out that I'm just emotional sometimes and not to take what I say to heart all the time.
As for websites, I'm really not sure.
Happy and healthy nine months girl

Hi I'm Lovey,17, and 36 weeks tomorrow expecting a baby boy. Congrads and welcome to bnb.. I found out I was preg at 6 weeks(would have been earlier but I was refusing to take a test). Have a H&H 9 months

hello Brittney congrats on your baby and welcome to bnb!
My name is also Brittany, I'm 20 years old and pregnant with my first. I've been dating my OH for 3 years as well! And I also didn't find out I was pregnant until 2 months along! (Even though I knew almost 2 weeks before I tested)

My boyfriend luckily had his uncles telling him to watch out for me..
They warned him that he needs to just listen to everything I say and go with what I need haha. Have you bought any baby books yet? A lot of them have father chapters and that might help him a lot. Its really hard for some guys to understand how big their lives change too and it's definitely a lot easier when they have other guys telling them how its going to be and what to expect. Maybe there is another father he respects that he could talk to? hearing it from someone who he trust will make him understand better I feel like. Good luck I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!
i'm Jammie, i found out i was pregnant when i was about 4 weeks and was still 17. but me and DH were trying. lol so i kind of expected it.
and as the previous poster said most baby books have father chapters and they would help him alot, if he'll read them.
i had issues gettin my husband to read them, he's more of an i read to him and he'll just listen while he plays playstation kind of guy
as for the horomones, they are just getting started girl!
i'm 32 weeks almost and i'm a total bitch sometimes. and get mad over nothing it seems like! one minute i'm super happy then the next its like a switch is flipped and i'm fuming over some dumb thing he said. its ridiculous lol but he's got to where he understands its just my horomones talking and not me and will blow it off usually.
also try googling or bing(my fav) some good websites to inform expecting fathers of what is going on or might be happening. it helped us.
wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!

Thank you all for your help, advice, and personal experience, that means a lot to me. I love to hear all about your experiences so feel free to type away, I usually read all of the stories no matter how long/short.

Kayla,
Thank you, happy and healthy nine months to you as well. Lol, I know.. Men! not many people know about my pregnancy yet, I'm too worried to tell anyone, if I even have a normal stomach ache or anything I freak out that something is going wrong lol.

Lovely,
Thank you, happy and healthy nine months to you as well (even though your almost done the nine months.. How exciting!!!!). I would love to hear about your pregnancy so far, hope all has went well and continues to do so

Brittany,
Thank you, happy and healthy nine months to you as well..oes it worry you at all that you didn't know until you were 2 months? It worries me, but I get worried about a lot. Like I wish I was taking folic acid.. And I wish I had eaten better and just everything really. Lol. His mom told him that stuff too but he didn't quite get the memo yet lol. I'm sure he will understand better when I start showing a little more of a belly. He is excited about the pregnancy so hopefully that will help. He doesn't really have a father figure.. Him and his dad don't get along well at all and his step dad didn't have any kids. So not many dad's that he knows.. Maybe a couple of his friends from his old town tho.

Jammie,
Thank you, happy and healthy nine months to you as well. I hope he will eventually just realize. But he's a great guy, they just don't understand gotta love him no matter what lol. But yes, I think he would trust my opinion and if I thought he should read something to get a better understanding he more than likely would be willing to do so.

Thank you to all of you, I'm here if you need to talk didn't expect anyone to reply so fast. I does anyone know what helps with back pain? :-\

Thank you all very much

 

[lil lovey]

My pregnancy has been very good..but right now its getting a lil difficult cause baby is getting heavy(blame myself). Walking around is so tiring doesn't help much that I still have to get some missing stuff. I would be going to town and get it but with the festives going on its going to be so full going to the mall would be even worse. Other than that everything is good.

To help with you back take a warm bath or ask your OH to rub yòur back. How's yours pregnancy been going so far. You must be excited. When are you due? Hehe Girls here(including me) are like lil bnb addicts so you'll get fast replies

[YoungMa]

Lovely,
That's good to hear. I'm glad it's going well are you worried about giving birth? My older cousin just had a baby so she is going to let me borrow the stuff you need for the first few months. Are you worried about money? Hopefully he will take a step up soon when he sees my tummy. He's a great guy, he just doesn't understand like any man/boy. My pregnancy has been okay. My dad just said he's still in denial, but my mom and sister and cousins are hee. But I am sooo excited hopefully my dad comes around. Boyfriend parents are fully there for us so that's good but my dad isnt quite yet. But he loves babies so when it's born I know he won't be able to resist loving it. Every cramp or ache or pain I get in my tummy I get worried. And I did have like spotting for a week and was worried but I think it was just the time when my period would have been.

Hillary,
Thanks, happy and healthy nine months to you as well. How did your parents take it. Would you change how things went? I wish I could be handling babies to get used to it and see what it's like. I got to see my cousins baby yesterday and she is an extremely content baby. How are your kids? Neither of my grandma's know. My mom decided she is telling her mom and my dad is telling his. My dad's mom sent me home crying last easter because of a comment of my boyfriend, so I don't talk to her much. She has her opinion and she isn't afraid to state it either. How was your pregnancy? Did you you experience any complications with your pregnancies? I hope all is well for you. Just as I said to the others on here, I'm here to talk if you need me

Tbh the daddies will find it hard to understand as they will never go through anything like this! I would just google it but I know there are lots of books out there

Thank you all very much

I think I was just about 7 weeks pregnant when I tested.. just shy of two months. my periods were always irregular and late all the time. The only thing I was really worried about was my weight, I didn't eat right at all and was 90 lbs because of it. As soon as I got the positive result though I changed that right away. I was worried a little bit about the vitamins but every baby book and web page I read said that do not worry about what you did the first few weeks of your pregnancy.. your body has a way of taking care of your fetus with out you even knowing. I've even read a story about a girl who did some bad drugs during the first few weeks of pregnancy because she didn't know, and she told her doctor about it because she was so concerned, and her doctor assured her that it probably wouldn't effect her baby just obviously don't do anymore! I think that's crazy that something that serious your body still manages to filter it out somehow! As long as you are taking care of yourself now and doing everything you're suppose from this point on you and your baby should be fine

Welcome! I'm Shannon, 21, and I have a 2 year old named Victoria "Tori"!

 

[lizmageeful]

Hi, Im Lizzie, im 16 and 20+4 with my first kid whose a boy!
I know there is a section on this site for dads, so maybe that? But trust me, for me at least the hormones mellowed out a tad bit and i havent been as moody all the time. FOB used to call me "Hulk-Smash" on really bad days...

 

[xVAP]

Hey, welcome and congratulations. I'm Violet, I'm also 17 and I'm about 10 weeks pregnant.
My FOB has been my best friend for about 2 -3 years, but only recently became my OH, after finding out we were pregnant. I've always been crazy hormonal, think its cause my periods were always so irregular. So he's used to this. In fact, if anything my hormones seem to be settling down with pregnancy :')
