I'm a conservative fuddy duddy, so I'd feel better if you were 20 and married. But as for 20 being too young?

Well, my wife was 17 when our first child was born. *shrug* We married young (not because of the baby, thank you very much!), and were plannign to wait a bit for kids.

Didn't happen that way, but I wouldn't change it.

because I've never been pregnant before, and my doctor won't see me, because I told them I knew I was pregnant, but haven't gone to see a doctor yet...but i have an ultrasound appointment.

I hope everything goes well in your scan.

Don't be too worried...The doctor could have expressed it better, but he/she has a point. Since you know you ARE pregnant, but likely don't know how far along you are, there is little point in seeing you until you've had the ultrasound. At that point, the doctor knows what he/she are facing

The important thing between now and then is to get lots of rest (the biggest changes in your body happen in the first trimester, so you are surprisingly tired), eat as properly as you can and invest in the maternity vitamins. You need the extra folic acid and unless you are the type to eat lots of kale, spinach, broccoli and other dark green veg, you aren't getting enough for the baby's developing neural tubes.

I've been through this fairly recently, so don't be afraid to PM me or email me at [email protected]

So thanks for letting me know... I mean, I know I've been absent around the Inn here lately, but you have my number, chica. way to make a guy feel loved.

Seriously, though. I'm happy you're happy, and I'm glad to hear you're avoiding the family issues so many people have to deal with in these situations. I wish you all the very best of luck as a family.

Also, name the kid after me.

If you're excited and happy about it - regardless of age (hell, I was just 18 when my oldest was born) - I'm excited and happy for you!

I do expect updates on a regular basis and, of course, pictures when they're available. All my best to you, the proud papa, and the little 'bun in the oven'.

Luv,
Uncle Eol

thank you everyone. I'm just so out of it these days my mind really is constantly on the child inside of me. I can't wait to REALLY be showing like all the time. Right now my stomach will get bigger at night then disappear in the morning.

Ive just returned and seen this. The Grugg adds his 'grats!
