I'm a first time mom at 18. I don't know what things should worry me. What are some things that helped make pregnancy easier?

Congrats! It’s rough honestly but absolutely rewarding. I could be wrong, but you don’t have to really worry about much until you get to your 3rd trimester; unless you’re having bleeding, bp problems, gestational diabetes (which i think are from the placenta cause i ate a lot of candy & whatever I wanted & had no issues). I also just asked a lot of questions on this app when there was something new and i would get answers. The community on here is definitely amazing.
Look into joining groups that’s tailored to your delivery month and they’ll be more of a support/connect group

Apply for (if you haven't already) 4c, WIC, food stamps, take your prenatals.. I was a teen mom as well (preg at 18 has her at 19) make sure you keep yourself surrounded around help. Like above Saud it's rewarding but as with any new time parent no matter where your age is..... Comes challenges. But I can't express enough to keep up with your prenatals
I’ve been prescribed 25mg sertraline at 5 weeks due to extreme anxiety.
My anxiety is making me question whether or not I can go through with pregnancy, before I was pregnant I was sure I wanted a baby so I’m hoping it’s now just my mental health that is making me unable to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m petrified of bumps, needles, hospitals, and definitely birth.
Does anyone have any experience with sertraline? I am hoping this is going to help me but I’m scared it doesn’t.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and I think it’s time for a pregnancy pillow. I am not sure which ones are the best. Any suggestions please ?

I’m 34 and thinking about trying for a another baby, but I have quite a few worries and concerns, especially about my age and whether it might affect my chances of getting pregnant or having a healthy pregnancy. How was your experience? Do you have any advice or tips to help me feel less anxious about pregnancy at this age? ☺️✨
