Hello! Im 17 and pregnant too! Im due March 5th so only about 5 1/2 weeks left!
How did your parents react when you told them? Mine were shocked but they are happy now :)
How far gone are you?

Hello there honey! Congratulations on becoming a mum!!!!! I had my first baby at 16 and i was a single mum. It can be pretty daunting huh? Dont worry about it my love! Best thing is to read up about things so you dont worry and to know all about what is happening to you. I love reading my pregnancy books and seeing what happens each week. Ive even got my first daughter involved (she's nearly 9) and i've filled a lid with coppers that weigh as much as the baby so she can feel how heavy the baby is each week - my husband loves it when he holds it and it gives him an idea too. This is a really good site to get advice and help from - because everyone is so friendly and even though we all have different backgrounds, ages and lives we all have something in common - we're having a baby!!!!! If there is anything in particular your worried about put it on the forum and im sure you'll get a reply. Hope eveything goes ok with you and your baby. Take care - Nik (19weeks)

Im having a little boy! Hes due in just over 4 weeks! Im terrified about the whole giving birth thing! OUCH!
I cant decide on a name 'til hes born so just have to wait and see!
Getting uncomfortable now though, his head is engaged so he kicks his legs around into my ribs :( and contractions are quite painful at times!
