re: 18 years old,expecting, scared, my two options-

Quoting £egendary Zeppelin:" most people I know only get 2-3 the whole pregnancy! but I know if you're high risk & etc. you tend to get more"

He did it because my first was a tubal. Then my second was a missed miscarriage. So I had one at 8 weeks, then 10 then 14 then 18 and we had one just to peek at him like 30 but didn't see much. We only had one GOOD one. that was our anatomy scan. The rest were just in room machines that weren't very good.

Quoting I'm His Amy He's My Rory:" My doctor always did with my first appointment. But I had a history of miscarriage so I dunno. I got ultrasounds every appointment until my anatomy scan."

me too, im 18 weeks and get a cervical check every 2 weeks for my whole pregnancy, and i have to see my OB once per week. its alot because im on bedrest but its worth it.

Thank you for all of your advice and sharing your stories. You all are very strong women, and being on this website makes me feel like i'm not alone. Good luck to you all  

I saw your post this morning, and you have been in my heart and mind. You sound like you are a strong gal-- and you are striving to do the best decision and that's what matters. In the meantime, I’d suggest that you share your concerns with a counselor. If you don’t know where to start, you can call one of the counselors at Focus on the Family, the organization that I’m with. They’re caring, compassionate people who can listen and offer direction. Their phone number is 1-855-771-4357. Take good care, Nicole...

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant.. My family pretty much begged me to have an abortion.. My boyfriend was there for me.. I descited to keep my baby..now I'm 17 with a 7 month old & couldn't be happier...my advice to you is sit in a room with just you and think about if you really want to do this... I know for me the first ultra sound made me fall in love with my little baby.. good luck!

It's your choice, NO ONE else can make that decision. When the time comes, in your heart, you will know.

I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant (I turned 18 a month after she was born) I was surprised after i had her because i thought things would be horrible and i wouldnt be able to do it but i was completely wrong things were so much easier than i thought it does get stressful at times but its so worth it to see my daughters face every day . in the end the choice is yours i just thought i would share that with you.

I was 17 when I found out that I was expecting and 18 when I had him. I was in the same boat as you at first, but I decided to keep my son because I couldn't live with the fact of having a abortion. Its not easy and there are going to be some bad times, but its really worth it. Every morning I wake up wth a smile on my face because I have someone looking up to me for everything. I'm a full time college student, I work a full time job, and no my sons father and I aren't together, but we do have a friendship for our sons sake. I just hope that you choose what's best for you. Don't let other encourage you to do something that you're not okay with doing. Congrads on the baby!

Its your choice and they have no other option than to accept what you choose. I didn't have a clue what I was doing and neither did the majority of new mothers out there! It comes to you over time and the rest you learn as you go!
Don't let other people push you into someting you don't want to do, you have to live with your choice not the people around you! Good luck and if you need anyone to talk to feel free to chat with me!

KEEP THE BABY!! this is a gift from God dont let anyone tell you otherwise! This site is full of support, help and advice. I am 18 and 7 weeks pregnant.

Please keep the baby and let God miracle grow
