17 and 13 weeks pregnant

I am 17 years old, a senior in high school, and 13 weeks pregnant.

The beginning of my pregnancy sucked because they couldn't find the baby, I was in a lot of pain all the time, and the doctors were unsure if I had an ectopic pregnancy or not. It was terrifying, not to mention during this entire pregnancy ive had every horrible pregnancy symptom times ten.
Finally at 8 weeks I went and got an ultrasound and they found the baby, and a heartbeat:) my boyfriend, who I had been together with for almost two years, was shocked, his face was priceless.
Since then, I've had the worst case of all-day sickness imaginable, I lost six pounds in two weeks, I've had crazy fatigue and its just been insane.
My doctors told me if I don't start gaining weight by six months they will have to intervene..whatever that means.
But anyways, my mom (who had me at 19) was shocked and really upset I was going to have to go through everything she went through, but my stepdad didn't talk to me for a week or so, wouldn't even look at me.
Currently, everyone except my stepdad is excited. My mom and my bestfriend has been the most supportive, and my boyfriend has been too for the most part.
I am currently entering my second trimester so im praying the nausea will go away so I can finally start eating and gaining some weight.
All i have to say, is protection doesn't always prevent pregnancy. But i highly recommend if you have sex, to use it, Becoming pregnant really threw a new perspective on everything and its already been pretty hard and I hope that everyone else still uses protection, no matter how much you love the person. Its very life-altering and not something t hat should be taken lightly.

17 is not what i thought it whould be

I'm 17 and a half. i found out i was pregnent when i went to urgent care in Augest bc i thought i had the flu. my dad took me and i thought nothing of it but another flu and need for meds. when the doctor came in she was nice asked all the normal stuff and then asked like she has many times before, "can you be pregnant?" of course not i told like i have befor. Then.... my life was on stop. she came in and in front of my father (keep in mind they are not aloud to do this! there is a privacy rule!) told me i was pregnant! i cryed bc i had no clue what to do or how to react. my dad dident beat my butt like he said he always whould if i came home pregnant. my moms famouse words where " if you get pregnant dont come home at all." but by this time in my life my mother had been gone for a year and a half. she died when i was 15 the weekend before mothers day. like it could not get worse my last call to her was us yelling and fighting over me sneeking out. she died mad at me. i dident say goodbye, and this alone had been killing me and to find out i was haveing a baby and i couldent have her there was even harder! i always thought of 'what if' i get pregnant? i whould have her to tell me what to do how to do it what she went threw and my dad is and was on drugs so knows nothing anbout what she went three are why she needed a c section. all he can tell me is i was born on.." what day again?" real P.O.S.. hes also bipolor and this has made being pregnant so stressfull. he walks out saying hes leaveing us at lest twice a week, tells me hes going to call cps non-stop and its a never ending thing... but what can you do? fostercare would be worse, belive iv been stuck there. Anyways, im 3 months now. i pray everyday i wont loss my baby to miscarrige or cps like my mother lost me. being pregnant has shown to be the hardest time of my life. stress, crying everyday, HEARTBURN FROM HELL!! it has been rough... I also have herpes and this can really complicate the matter. It could hurt both of us during labor, and i can not live with that if something happened to my baby. i dont care if im judged on it, i was date raped at 16. then refussed to have sex untill i met my babys father. we where togater 9 months when i found out and has been there. im 17 hes .. just turned 16. we both dont have jobs or cars or licance so who knows how this is going to work out. But you cant give up hope. you just cant.

Young Mommy To Be

Well today I just found out that I am pregnant! I'm very excited but extremely worried about the reaction of my parents. I met my fiancé summer school before our sophomore year. Might sound cheesy, hut I knew there was something special about him. :) Well now we are halfway through our junior year and I'm about 1 month. He is completely supportive and super excited to met our beautiful love child! Only 5 people know so far, my 3 bestfriends, and my aunt and her girlfriend. I am not sure when or how to break the new to my mom. I have know how clue how she's going to react. I need advice on how to break the news to her!
