1. My first pregnancy was at 16 .It was a extremely difficult pregnancy with alot of complications.I started dilating at 5 months along and went into labor at 7 months.My baby was born at a good birth weight(6 lbs) She was in a newborn I.C.U. for 4 weeks and then shipped back to my local hospital for two more weeks.Teenage pregnancy was not fun and I do not recommend trying it.My daughter is 10 years old and we are doing great today.I did manage to finish high school, go to college and land a great job.
2. lol don't you HATE health class. haha i went through it in high school so..i understand. lets see. im 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I went through morning sickness that just consisted of nausea instead of puking for the first 2 months of being pregnant. As i got farther in pregnancy i went into preterm labor 3 times where they gave me lots and lots of fluids and the labor finally stopped. I have gotten swelling now just this week. O..and im 19....i was 18 when i got pregnant!!! Good luck with your project. haha...i know school sucks but its great when its finally over!!!
3. I was 16. I experienced alot of different things, for one my breasts were swollen and they hurt, two I was very sick(morning sickness) for the first 4 months, I was tired alot,and alot of anxiety about weather i could be a mom or not and about the child birth hope this helps.
4. you experence something that cannot be put into words....that is why people ask.....how does one describe the feeling of having your offspring growing inside you?.....good luck.
5. I was 22 when i got pregnant. I experienced morning sickness, nausea, very tired, couldnt get comfortable, hungry all the time, mood swings, worrying, stressing, picking out baby names, buying maternity clothes, random people in grocery stores coming up and talking to you, people rubbing your belly, gaining 65 pounds. And you will use all of this when you get pregnant someday. Those are just a few things you go through. Labor is a totally different experience and you have to go through that while you are pregnant. Braxton hicks contractions, breathing techniques, lamazze classes, parenting classes, breastfeeding classes, leaking breasts, constipation, i could go on and on with everything you go through. Good luck. With all of these i mentioned, you will be sure to get a "A"
