Welcome to the wonderful world of pregnancy! This is a journey like no other you will ever have again, even if you should have more children. As experienced veterans can tell you, each pregnancy is different and being pregnant is like no other state you have ever been in.

At times, it's wonderful, exhilirating even. Two minutes later you may feel as if you are depressed, sick and tired. Your body changes, your emotions stage a revolt and you learn to look at the world through different eyes. Congratulations, you've become a mother and it only gets more intense from here.

If you want to talk or to get in touch with more mothers, email me at Ilyssa13@hotmail.com. I'm starting an experiemental 'In-touch' group. Since so many of you have freely asked for email, I'm going to try and get you all in touch with each other. By the way, if you're an older, former teen mom interested in mentoring a younger one, please email me or sign the guestbook and let me know.
