  • Congrats and welcome! Some of the things to avoid while pregnant are lunch meats, soft cheeses, sushi, and high amounts of caffeine. Take a look at some of the q&a's on the site. They were really helpful for me during my first pregnancy.
  • Don't drink or do drugs.

    Do take your prenatal vitamin and stay active.

    Don't always consult Dr. Google.

    Do use the search function on this board before posting.

    That's all I got for now.

    Congrats and welcome! Unplanned can be scary, but you got this!!

  • Like PP said, don't consult Dr. Google, it will only freak you out. In addition to reading the Q&As on here you should go type in pregnancy on pinterest. It will pull up a lot of great resources for first time moms. It helped me out a ton during my first pregnancy.

  • Also see if there is someone in your life like a fellow mom (which I know could be tough at your age) to just chat about your pregnancy with. I love the women on this board but idk where I would be without my friends!!!
  • Is the father involved? Definitely want to figure out things like child support earlier on.


  • Try to stay as healthy as you can, go to ALL your doctor's visits, and ask your doctor all your questions (even the ones that seem dumb--we all have them). And ditto to PP. Good luck; you can do this!
