about

Hi. I am a 31 year old life coach and professional writer and the mother of a beautiful 6 year old little boy. I believe in the kids and teens out there today and I want to be of service in any way I can. I know what it's like to be young and not want to talk to parents about problems. I specialize in relationships of all kinds and parenting. I also am very well versed in health and beauty. I will always respond with sincerity and to the best of my ability. I will always be honest, even if that means I may tell you something you don't want to hear but need to. I am all about inspiring the best from people I come in contact with so that's the approach I take with everyone.

Ok, my girlfriend is pregnant and she's really worried about it. We're both 19 and this wasn't planned or anything. We talked about it for a long time and we both agreed that we want to keep it. Her parents disowned her when she was 18 becasue she started to see me, because she was raised catholic and I'm not catholic. I felt that was rediculous because I have nothing against catholics and I was willing to join the church if it meant I could be with her but she decided that she didn't want that...anyway her parents won't be helping us with her pregnancy and with the baby so we're on our own. (my mother is dead and I've never met my father) I know that she's going to be going through a lot with her pregnancy and I was wondering if anyone knew how I could help her get through with a little more ease. I'm working two jobs one full time and the other part time so I'm not around that much. But is there anything that I can do to be of any help to her or is there anything that I should look out for? I was also wondering about taking care of baby. If anyone has any tips about taking care of baby that would be a big help as well. Thank you for the advice and I will rate a five for any help.

That's gotta be a hard situation. One of the huge things you can do is be sincerely concerned abouth her. Reminder her how beautiful she is even though she is getting bigger. Try to attend whatever classes she does with her. That means soooo much!! She will know by how you act that you really love her and truly support her. That is really the best thing you can do - besides going out in the middle of the night to get whatever food she is craving!!! As for the baby, well, your instincts will kick in and hers definately will. There are places that can help and will help. If you ever have a question, your pediatrician will be an asset. Get a pediatrician BEFORE the baby is born. If you don't know what to do about something, they typically do. Try to keep the stress down - as impossible as that sounds - because the baby will sense that stress and will be stressed too. Go to the doctor appts with her - if you can - at least some. Especially the important ones like the sonogram. Have a few "pick a name" nights and play about what name will be perfect. Another great resource is yahoo groups. There are tons of groups for parenting and new babies. They have lots of good information. Stop by the library and pick up a book on newborns. They have a ton of them with some really good advice. Just relax and know that this is in perfect order. If you are looking for answers now before you even have the baby - I'm sure you will be very prepared and great parents!!!

Good luck and congratulations!!!
