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
