But you do also need to bring in some of the money. If you are set on keeping the baby then you need to get a job. I learned a long time ago the price of things for a baby in the first year adds up to the price of a average priced new car. So yes it does take alot of money. My fiend was 15 when she got pregnant and she was big into horses and showing and things like that she gave it up and sold everything she had so she could keep the baby. She got no money from her parent except they did help out a little with doctor bills. But if you are into a hobby ar have stuff you can sell, sell it that can bring in more money than you can expect. And with a new baby you are going to have to make some tuff desisions on some of your hobby's and things like that. Go to your local librarry and check out some books or movies on becomming a parent and also here are some websites that might help. Or may be just some fun for you LOL.

It is going to be very hard for everyone concerned, but it is great that you can talk to your families. You will definitely need all the support that you can get, especially if you intend to continue with your education. There isn't a lot of advice that I can give you because you seem to have thought about the most important things - telling your families and going to the doctors. You will be told the obvious things like eating properly, resting, keeping in shape etc., when you go to your first antenatal appointment. It would also be wise to look at any financial support you may be entitled to. Most importantly of all is to talk to each other and really listen to their advice. However, this is your baby and you must make the final decisions along with your partner. I wish you and your families all the very best for the future.

I don't really know what kind of advice you want for sure. I have been there and can probably help with any question you might have. Feel free to email me if you'd like.
Tomorrow you will probably get a pelvic exam. If you haven't had one before, here is a site that tells you what to expect. While on the site do some looking around because it has a section on
teen pregnancy and lots of other goodies you will find useful.
