You should go down to the library and get the books called


';What to Expect When Your Expecting';


Then there are other books usually next to that book about infancy, then toddler years, preschoolers ect.





Talk with your parents about it too.





Oh and obviously you will need to start prepping the nursery. Or get a crib if your baby is just going to be next to your bed.


Clothes. Diapers. If your planning on pumping, then a pump. If your breastfeeding then you should research that. Bottles if you decide to bottle-feed.





You can also go to a local mommy and me class and talk to some of the other mothers there. I am sure they will be more than happy to help.Help, teen mother, need advice!!??
Diapers, wipes, crib, crib set, a few extra crib sheets, a swing, clothes, formula and bottles (if you decide to bottle feed), blankets, car seat





Other than that everything you need is to be prepared. Sleep whenever your baby sleeps (trust everyone on that. I didn't do that and I paid for it in the end LOL) And even more important don't let anyone force you into a decision that you do not want to make, you will only regret it. It is your body, your baby and you that has to live with the outcome. Most areas have some type of pregnancy help center that can help you. The number to the national pregnancy helpline is 800 395 HELP and you can call it 24/7 and they can help.





Good luck, if you need anymore help feel free to email me.
First off, congratulations. I know you'll probably get a lot of grief for being a teen mother, but the fact that you're trying to prepare for this is a sign that you're taking it seriously and aren't going to just try to pass the baby off to the grandparents. Is there a Birthright Center near you? If so, they'll be able to help you with certain necessities like formula and diapers, and even baby clothes. It'd be worth looking into. You may hit up some yard sales to find second hand baby things like a swing, crib, and a few other items. Things I would suggest you get new from a store are bottles, car seat, and teething things. I'm sure there are more. Look into any free or cheap parenting classes in your area. Birthright may be able to help you with that. Don't take it as an insult that you might need parenting help, these classes can be so helpful, especially for a first time mother. One of the things I've been told that I believe is ';Sleep when your baby sleeps.'; I think that's the only way you'll get enough rest, because they wake up a lot! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.





Good luck!
well first you might want to look at wot youve got then figure out wot you need.start thea.
