go to your doctor as soon as you can (not urgently) they will get you booked in with a midwife. as to when you have a scan it will depend on the area you live, as each area seems to do things differently.

For your information, there is a pregnancy section of this site under "family" where you might get more targeted help.

hi honey, try to get someone close to you who you can trust and help you. You shouldn't be alone during this time, as it can be quite emotional. Can you talk to your parents, aunts, grand-parents, or even a friends parents? Try to get to your doctor as soon as you can to sort out a mid-wife. Ask your doctor or mid-wife if there is a support group that you can confide in. But in times like this you'll need family and friends around you. What about the father of the baby, is he still around and can he support you (not just financially but emotionally too) ?

ya the father of the baby im still with..i been woth him sice i was 14.. he is 18... i cant talk to any of my family.. anyways id prefere not to just yet..

yes its best not to tell anyone until 3 months because misscarriages are commen. I would see your dotor asap and also go to ther chemist and get some folic acid supplements as soon as you can which will ensure the good health of your baby. what are your living/ working situatioons?

as part of the travelling community id have thought that there would be a wide circle of friends and family, some of whom would be able to give you advice.

From your previous posts it sounds as if you have more to worry about than being pregnant. Not an ideal situation for any baby to have a father who drinks too much and gets into fights, and lands up in court, together with yourself. You really do need some help in more ways than one.
