firstly, congratulations, and i am truly sorry to hear of your miscarriage.
everyone who has negative comments should refrain from posting as you are not being helpful.
This young woman is acting responsibly asking about how to keep her baby healthy. It obviously shows maturity and courage to be able to ask for help.
I fell pregnant just before my 17th birthday, and also miscarried first before conceiving twin boys, sadly I lost one to twin to twin transfusion syndrome, but my beautiful boy is fine and a healthy 13yr old now!
To answer your question, start taking prenatal vitamins, or at least folic acid and iron to lessen risk of neural tube defects. Make sure you try to eat a balanced diet and exercise gently. see a doctor or antenatal clinic for check ups during pregnancy. Tell any close family your situation as support is invaluable. have faith in yourself and know that loving your child is the most important factor. Good luck and god bless

There's nothing u can really do.. Just avoid smoking, drinking and minimise caffeine.. Also u can ask ur dr what's safe to eat cause some things aren't recommended during pregnancy..
However, I was really healthy my first pregnancy but had a miscarriage anyways.. So just relax and let nature do its thing.. No point of worrying eventhough it's so hard not to.. :)

not to be mean but you are way to young to be getting pregnant....just talk with your doctor, but I think you should also start looking into something called protection. It is well known that teen pregnancies lead to more teen pregnancies....you are creating a horrible spiral effect and ruining your own life....I am not some preachy christian I just come from a family full of teen pregnancies and I have see how it hurts the children more so than the child-parent. Luckily I was smart enough and learned good morals to not be like them....this is my first child and I am 24 with a home, good income, and a very mature husband that has always dreamed of having a family ( he was raised the southern way lol holds doors and pulls out chairs and everything) I just hope you can support yourself and your child....statistics show that teen relationships especially when a baby comes into the picture do not last....the men will leave....

I'm in the same boat as kynlees mommy! I had my son at 19 and planned this baby now at 22. My husband and I love each other more each day and we are financially stable. You can beat the statistics. Just relax and take it a day at a time. Let your parents know if you have not already because yoy will need their support. Emotionally if nothing else! Congrats on your baby! They are a gift from God no matter the parents age :)

My advice...stop having unprotected/protected sex and act like a kid. You are too young to be playing adult games.
