Well hello there,

You're definitely right about it being a life changer. I just turned 23, and I know that if I were pregnant that would literally be a turning point in my life. I have a friend that is your age who found out she was pregnant five months ago. She was partying every weekend, making unsafe choices, and overall- not going places. Since she's been pregnant she has turned her life around. She talks about being pregnant as a blessing, and a good wake up call. Perhaps you can take the good from this, because even though you weren't expecting this, great things can come from it.

Once you go to the doctor and they can verify that you are pregnant, they will be able to determine how far a long you are. You'll then go to appointments where they will track your child's growth and development.

In the mean time, try not to stress too much about it. I agree with Lizzie- taking pre-natals is something you should consider doing. It would be a good idea not to partake in drinking/smoking/drug use, as well. Once you see a doctor, they can answer your questions a bit further in depth.

Take care
