My mom goes on this website and said I could too, so I thought since i bet some of ya'll have had pregnant mothers while you were older could help, well please reply to jessica_devil666@hotmail.com! Well i'm 12 with an older sister about to turn 14 in september. my mom is pregnant with a little boy. i'm the one who is there for my mom since she got pregnant and we found out(she's 7 months preg. 27 wks). I was the first one to know even before the docs.!
How can I help when the baby is born and not seem like a berden. i'm going to 7th grade and the baby is supposed to be born after school starts, my sister will be even busier, and my dad will be iverseas ad before that even now he comes home around 7:30- 9:00! The earliest he's ever come home is about @ 7:50! How can I be help and be good help? I've always been the baby and I love that I won't be but I get irrated more easily now! PLEASE HELP! Thank you.

My sister was born when I was 11. My dad was working out of town a lot. You're old enough to help your mom with some basic baby care, like changing diapers or giving baths. You can also help with household chores, maybe learn to cook and make dinner one or two nights a week. The only thing you need to remember is that you're at an age where your schoolwork is important. Don't ignore your homework, and don't stay up all night with the baby, and be too tired to go to school. Your mom will be tired and probably sore after she has the baby, so try to make things easier for her. Try not to fight with your older sister too much if you can help it (that was the main thing that always stressed my mom out). You'll have a lot of fun helping your mom with your new brother.

Jessica, I think it is wonderful that you want to help your mom with the baby and I bet she will appreciate it as well. My advice is to just be sure to ask your mom whenever you have freetime what you can do to help and let her tell you what she needs at that time. But Jbear is right too, make sure you still work hard on your school work and get your rest as well. Good luck with your new baby brother!! :-)
