YOUNG MOM, FIRST PREGNANCY. tips needed

edited March 2011 in First Trimester
I'm 18. I'm about two months. I'm in a mixed relationship. I am white and my bf is black. To me mixed babies are very beautiful. I've thought of names, and thinks I should eat, and things to do and not to do.. nothing seems good enough to me so that my baby will come out to be perfect. Is there anyone w advice so that I can do my best but yet still ease my mind. Plz help I'm nervous about everything. I don't wanna make any mistakes. I've realized I'm not just doing or not doing things for myself but there is a precious gift from God involved.

  • No matter what you eat or do your baby will be perfect...try to eat healthy but if you have a craving for something gross then eat it lol...
  • Dont worry so much! everything will be fine, no pregnancy is the same and they're all perfect. I was 18 when I had my first baby too. just take care of yourself and indulge in ur cravings! Have fun being pregnant! I'm on my third!
  • Relax mama... ur body knows what to do. Just b careful and try to b healthy. Congrats. Everything will b ok! :)
  • Its not just the cravings that scare me. Idk what to name him/her. I don't wnna just pick a cute name or a name everyone agrees on I want it to be the best name to fit the baby. And at birth! What about at birth? Should I have natural birth. Or epideral? That is really dangerous if the doctors even do it slightly wrong yu could be paralized. Don't get me wrong I'm so blessed for this baby. My bf and I are high school sweethearts since before my freshman yr and its now my senior yr. Its just there are soooo many really big decisions that don't only effect me but a baby too.
  • Heres a tip no one told me lol Dont "eat for two" u only need an extra 300 calories a day and ur tiny baby has a tiny appetite in the first trimester. A gradual weight gain is best for u and the baby. Plus dont freak out if u lose some weight in the beginning, it happeneds to alot of preggos esp if u have morning sickness. And another thing, I knoe when u first find out its nerve wrecking but itll get better really soon. Youll always have worries, thats normal but dont stress too hard cuz it puts stress on the baybay too :) congrats deary
  • U have a long time to figure everything oit. Trust me, time goes by sssllllooooowwww....
