What are some health tips to know when you are in the begining of a pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Mar 5, 2010
I am 16 years old and pregnant. I am to scared to tell my parents yet, and I am only about 3 weeks in my pregnancy. If you could please give me some tips to keep my baby healthy I would really appreciate it. I know I will have to go to a doctor soon, but im really scared to tell them right now. Like if I should be wearing loose pants, what i should be eating, how i should sleep, etc. Thank you!
Hon, you need to go and talk to your mother. Don’t wait any longer. I would be devastated if my daughter didn’t come to me. And you’re going to have to find the strength to do many, many adult things now, so there is no point in waiting.
Please take good care of your health (no junk food, no alcohol, no smoking, no drugs). You need to start taking prenatal vitamins – you can get these at most stores. Get plenty of calcium. You do not need to wear loose pants – that will come in time and you’ll want maternity clothes down the road.
Please, go tell your mom now. Together you can make a plan as to what is in the best interest of your baby, you, and the baby’s father.
