18 and pregnant...

Hi! I just found out yesterday that I’m pregnant.. I don’t have many people to talk to about it so I decided to post in this group.. even if no one reads this it will feel better to get this all out. I have been feeling off lately like I’ve been having cramps (that I thought was my period), I’ve been constipated (I know tmi but it happens), I’ve been getting heartburn, I’ve been excessively thirsty and I’ve been peeing a lot. So yesterday I decided to take a pregnancy test... and it came out positive.

A bunch of emotions started to come over me.. more like how could I do this, what am I going to do? How could I be so stupid!? And stuff like that but the longer I got to thinking I realized my life isn’t over.. I want kids actually I want to have six in the future (sure that will change). I enrolled to college online so I can get a degree in nursing and still work and be with my child at the same time. I work at a daycare so I will be able to get free daycare. My main concern is telling my parents... they are going to be so mad and disappointed I just don’t know how to tell them.. my dad was a young father at 19 and my grandma was a mother at 18 but I know they are going to tell me it’s different. Another thing that worries me is that I’m a type 1 diabetic.. lots of complications can come along with that 😕 I even took a second pregnancy test just to make sure...

Thanks for listening! ❤️
