Newbie; 17 and Pregnant:)

Congratulations and Welcome!
My name is Clair, I'm 18 and I have a 7 and a half month old son called Jason, I was 17 when I gave birth :)

I was due May 26th with him :haha:

Thank you Clair! Your son is so cute in your picture!! Is being a mom harder than what you might've expected??

Ugh, my pregnancy has been rough. Ive had really rough morning sickness that HASNT STOPPED. its awful. But its ok, cause I know when its over I'm gonna have Dash! But also I've had some stuff to deal with with my OH, and now we're getting married in a month and a half and its a lot of change in a short period of time. :/ how has yours been?

Aww I'm sorry hun:( ! I heard if you suck on a lemon slice or drink lemon water it helps to make some of the sickness go away! I love the name Dash by the way:)! And marriage sounds exciting! I'm scared to get married anytime soon considering financial things and the fear of it not working out:(. My pregnancy has been wonderful! I love the feeling of the baby moving and my appointment today made me soo happy after my doctor reassured me that the cysts in my baby's brain where gone and that there was a false reading on the hernia warning my OB/GYN gave me! So much happiness ^_^
 
Welcome! I'm Shannon, 21, and I have a 2 year old named Victoria "Tori"! :hi:
 
Yeah, I ended up in the hospital at one point early on and was diagnosed with Hyperemesis. They had to put me on IV fluids and nutrients. Aww, thanks! We were gonna go with Dashiell but it just didnt sound right, but we loved Dash! Yeah, we're actually getting married BECAUSE of our financial situation. Once Trev graduates, he's enlisting in the army, and it will be helpful for us if all of us get benefits and can live on base together. Its whats best for the baby, so right now I cant think about it not working out. :/ But I'm so glad to here that everything is working out well with you and your baby!
 
My due date is April 10th.
My pregnancy so far is okay. I'm a high risk pregnancy because I have 2 blood clots in my lungs (one in each). So that's pretty shitty :( but besides that my boy is healthy. He looks just like his daddy and he has a strong heartbeat! He's also huuuuuge haha. He's a big little healthy boy :)
We're naming him William Joseph Hernandez.

I'm sorry That's terrible :( ! Is that treatable and safe for you and your baby?? It's good to hear that you and your man are financially and emotionally ready for that next big step! I wish you two the best in your life! ^_^

High risk pregnancy would horrify me :( I'm sorry you have to be on your toes at all times that must be very stressful! But it's great news to hear that your son is healthy! My son also has a strong heartbeat but he's a little on the squinched side in my uterus! My OB/GYN told me he's a low rider haha:).
 
Yeah, its totally safe. Its what I needed to get me back from being dehydrated. All it was was replacing nutrients I was losing. :)

Thank you Clair! Your son is so cute in your picture!! Is being a mom harder than what you might've expected??

Welcome, lol thank you :)
Yes much harder! But I didn't have a great start to motherhood and it's still a huge strain with some things (we nearly lost him at 4 weeks and now has permanent kidney damage and we don't know yet if he will end up with kidney failure) so after that I got really bad PND, we were lucky though as he was always a good baby, but there are later stages like teething where it is a struggle, right now he crawls and pulls up onto everything and it's stressful as hell but I would never ever change it for the world <3 .. Went a bit off there lol, but of course it's harder, no one can prepare you for what work being a mum is, but I enjoy it every day :)
 
Aw :)
I was rushed to the hospital and honestly to hear that everything with him was okay just freaking melted my heart.
One night I thought I was having a panic attack but I couldn't breathe and I felt like I would die. And so my mom took me to the hospital and I was so scared that he was gone. Then.. I felt the first kick :"""") its like he was saying I'm still here mama! And I was just so okau : )
Its amazing how we probably all already know we'd do any thing for our LOs and they're not even here yet!
 
13 weeks have been treating me good so far. :)) I don't have morning sickness at all, at first i thought it wasn't normal but my OB said it was okay, much better because I won't get dehydrated. :D I had my 1st scan yesterday & the feeling was so thrilling. I cried when I saw my baby wriggling at the monitor, it sorta looked liked he/she was waving at me. :)) At least its good to know that he/she is healthy. Parents aren't that okay with the pregnancy yet but they're trying their best to support me.
During my check-up I was with an 18 year old, almost same as me, 13 weeks or so but the tried to have an A because her boyfriend said so, the poor baby died inside & she had an infection. Poor thing. She had to be admitted.

Aw poor little guy:( I'm so sorry that happened... That must be incredibly difficult to handle! I hope for the best for Jason! The hardest part is not knowing what could happen after you have a baby :( It can cause a lot of stress and fear that no one is 100% ready for. As for the teething; baby's tend to gnaw on a lot of things during that time right?? I'm glad to hear that no matter the struggle it's always worth it in the end:)

Oh wow! I would've been freaking out like crazy! I'm glad everything with him is okay and I also get scared that maybe something happens whenever my little Niko doesn't kick for awhile but then he comes back with vengeance! haha:)! I completely agree I'm probably going to spoil the crap out of mine !

I'm happy that your pregnancy has also been good to you! I remember when I first saw mine on the Ultrasound as well it really makes you feel like a mama at that point like your purpose and happiness just escalates to an amazing proportion! Good Parents will always be there for you and they will definitely start to become a lot more comfortable with it later on or after the baby is born, it's their first grandbaby after all:)!
That's just terrible:( That drives me nuts when I hear about girls or guys wanting an A! How can someone kill an innocent baby like that?? After I watched a demonstration video of what they actually do in the process of an A I was literally in tears... They feel everything and can't do anything to stop it:(.

Hello ans welcome! I'm Katrina, 19, and my daughter Veronica will be 1 month on Saturday!
Hi Katrina! Thank you! That must be exciting! 1 month seems like a great start to a wonderful future :) ! Make sure to take lots of pictures! It's amazing how fast baby's grow past the 1 month mark!
 
Hi Emilee! It's good to meet someone the same age:)! How is your pregnancy so far?? I've noticed a lot of you lucky mamas to be with girls! Congrats to you all!

Mine has been good! A little rough this week between the constant kickboxing going on in me and trying to convince OH to let me buy a bunch of tutus. :haha: I know I'll miss feeling her move when she's out though. How has your's been? Hopefully well!

Just wanted to say welcome & congrats on team blue! :D

Hi Carissa:)! Your son is so handsome and cute!! I love his eyes! ^_^ How have 3 months gone so far since he was born??
 
The baby's dad also almost forced me to have an A but I stood my ground & said no. My parents, since both doctors, are really against A. I already made a mistake by doing it at a young age but I wasn't going to top it off with another by having an A. It just felt wrong! My best friend got her gf pregnant before but had to get an A years ago because they we're still too young, he still regrets it & dreams about their would've been 1st baby up to now. Though now he's happy with his gf, along with their 1st born Nikko who is turning 1 in March. :D
Though lots of mamas here are having girls, I want to have a bouncing baby boy since I was born in a family of girls. We're 3 in the family, all girls. :D I still got about 6 weeks before I find out whether my wish will come true for my baby to be a boy. I want to name him Carlo Anderson. XD

Haha thank you, his eyes are really quite big, they take up most of his face! :p The last couple of months have gone so quickly! I can't believe that he's grown so big already! How's your pregnancy been so far? Do you have any names picked?
 
Welcome, lol thank you :)

Yeah but you never think of it? His scans were all perfect, he was great for the first four weeks then all of a sudden it happened (not trying to scare you!) Yeah Jason started at 9 weeks and only cut one at 29 weeks + 9 days.. Now he chews my finger and gets me with that tooth lol.. Ow! Yeah definitely! He's changed my life :')
