Well whatever you decide, just make sure it's best for you and your baby, and be educated about it. Learn what pregnancy will have in store for you, motherhood will have in store for you, if your parents are going to help you out financially or not, where your boyfriend stands on the whole thing. The rest of the members of pregnancy-info, and myself, will be here if you need any help or have any questions along the way :)

well first of all OMG i laughed when i read this too! hahaha no effence but i really needed something to make me laugh tonight!! and second congratgs madsky!! you told your parents fast haha more b___s then i had! and everyone thinks they will be a bad mom, i grew up raising kids and even now im like wow am i doing this right? all moms no matter what the age think this its very normal. And all of us girls are pretty nice on here there are some posts where we are like OMG LOOSERS!! hhahah but i had my kid over two years ago and i still come on here and talk to th girls i met daily on my msn! i love them all!! so ask us anything and we may make fun of you sometimes but its all in love like sisters make fun of eachother!

Amanda- I wanna say that the baby staying with me is what's best, because I'm it's mom. It's just scary, I feel like I'm all along even though I know I'm not. Gucci- glad I could help ;] . I've been reading a lot of posts and I honestly don't know what I woulda done if t hadn't been for amanda she's helped me so much I might just keep the baby to keep her around ;D just kidding God this 'morning sickness' is going to kill me

To tell you the truth, I'm actually relieved that you are worried about it. I think it's normal to worry, and not normal to not worry haha. If you were like "Oh yeah I got this, being a mom is going to be a piece of cake" I would just a__sume you had NO idea what you were talking about and probably give you a big lecture about it :) I'll tell you, just from these few posts, why I have already drawn the conclusion that you will be a good mom: 1. You aren't a___l about things. A lot of other people would have gone crying to their mommies if we had laughed at their post. 2. You care a whole freaking lot about your baby already. Your maternal instinct must me awesome, and it's rea__suring that you would even consider giving your baby up because it is best for him or her and not yourself. Which means you'd do whatever is best for it for the rest of it's life. 3. You are worrying. I get freaked out when people don't worry about something this huge. You realize that it's going to be a big job, a big enough job that you feel you may not be able to handle it. I felt the exact same way. I couldn't even keep up my homework, so how was I supposed to raise a kid? Well... the kind of love between a mother and daughter makes you do a lot of great things. 4. You told your parents!! This shows that you are responsible! And willing to face the ups and DOWNS of what's going to come. It shows that you do what you gotta do even if you're scared or uncomfortable doing it. 5. You immediately took care of business. There was no "aahhh I don't want to take a test because I'm scared of the result" You went out, got that test, and peed on it. You may have felt awkward or scared, but there was a question that needed to be answered, so you went out and did it on your own. I can't tell you how many people come here asking us "Um. Am I pregnant?" because they are too scared to take a test. Anyway, yeah morning sickness is sucky. But you may not even get it. And if you get it really really bad your doctor can prescribe you something. Usually it goes away when you enter the second trimester which is at 13ish weeks. Mine lasted until 17 weeks though.

See man that just made me cry because it gave me hope That I could possibly be good enough. I want to be able to take care of this baby so bad. No matter what I can't abort it I don't care. Haha

Haha! Good one. Yeah... that's not true.

My prenatal vitamins were what made me REALLY sick... if that's the case there are other vitamin options. Ask your doc.

It's not uncommon for prenatal vitamins to make you sick. Sometimes it's actually good because it may mean that you already have a lot of vitamins in your system and taking them is overloading you making you sick. Still, it's important that you still take some kind of vitamin. Any vitamin, really. Like those children's Flinstone vitamins work well... anything you can stomach :) Also you may want to read up on things that you shouldn't eat in the first trimester. Like caffeine, chocolate and fish, to name a few.

Well I've been taking the one-a-day vitamins And antibiotics for my bladder infection blehh I have an appointment with my doc like 2 weeks from now. Crazzyy And I didn't know about fish? I stopped drinking coffee and nobody ever gets me chocolate :[ lol Yea I should do that most def. Were telling his dad today and my grandparents yikessss !!! wish me luckk

Maybe the prenatal vitamins are making you sick because of the one-a-day vitamins. You can either sick with the one-a-day or switch and see if you don't get sick on the prenatals anymore. Also make sure the antibiotics you are taking are okay to take while pregnant, because a lot of medicines aren't. If it's a gigantic pink pill I think you're okay because that's what mine looked like when I was misdiagnosed with a bladder infection when I was pregnant. They say cooked fish is okay but definitely no sushi or anything not fully cooked. If you like steak make sure it's well-done. There's about a million different foods that you're not supposed to eat. A lot of people think it's just smoking, drinking and drugs but doctors are really a___l about it, and the limits for your baby when it's born are crazyyy. Like no soft mattresses, no blankets, no pillows, no crib bumpers, no solid food until six months, only introduce yellow foods first then green foods, no strawberries until one year, no peanuts until 2 years, no sugar until 2 years, no vapor rub for a cold... the list is just freaking endless!! You might as well put them in a plastic bubble! Haha well anyway that's my own frustration talking. Good luck telling his family, I hope they take it well!

Well I haven't started prenatals yet We have to buy some, well mines a capsule that is 2 different colors but my dr made sure it was okay to take while pregnant. Haha I'm gonna get that printed out goodness me that list is insane lol

ohhh girls you just gave her a huge list and probably freaked her out!!!! LOL there are lots of things that they say you shouldnt do but the truth is that is is all ok in moderation!!! LOL I run a prenatal clinic once a week at work and the moms freak with everything they cant have.... well i HAD to have my caffiene! im a freak i just cut down and turns out a cup of coffee is very good for headaches if you dont want to take pills!! and chocolate is ok as well i LOVED chocolate and people think you shouldnt eat it and thats sort of a wives tale not even enough caffiene in chocolate do do anything... haha and morning sickness i never got BUT if you want something to stop it ginger cough drops! LOL i know sounds weird but ginger is the best thing to take for morning sickness and you can ge tthe cough drops with ginger in it! or just drink ginger tea..

Haha gucci I get carried away :) I hope I didn't freak you out MadSKy, as I said I was letting out some of my own frustrations. I let Ellie sleep with a soft blanket in her crib because her mattress is so hard and uncomfortable. She hates sleeping in it without the blanket and I don't blame her. Well I have a nurse who comes by my house about once a month to educate me on what developmental stages I should expect at her age, and she checks her out to make sure everything is okay. Kind of like having a doctor on call, and she's helped me a lot with second opinions... and she's free :D But anyway she was doing a saftey check of the nursery and she gave me a hard time about letting Ellie sleep with that blanket. I tried to tell her, SIDs risk is dramatically reduced at 6 months and she won't sleep in her crib without it... But nooooo I should take it out.... Grrrr. I'm still leaving it in there, It's tightly tucked, she's sleeping through the night and I really don't blame her for wanting it there. ANYways hahahaha yeah I didn't mean to freak anyone out ^_^ Just wanted to make sure you have a healthy, happy pregnancy and such!

Ahahaha noo you didn't scare me off(: I understand it's gonna be hard but I don't have that many options :p

That's true. I didn't want to take the place of the nurse that made me so frustrated by preaching to you all the things you should and shouldn't do. You said that you had a high risk pregnancy so... I just wanted to let you in on some things that may help your baby get through it okay. You mind if I ask what surgeries you had?
