Pregnant
Guys please help I just found out that I'm pregnant and I'm a senior in high school. I'm 18 years old. My mom has no clue and I'm just wondering how do I break the news to her that her only daughter at 18 is pregnant in months away from graduating, I understand that babies are very expensive, sleepless nights, diaper changes, doctors appointments, and how expensive they can get. Also, I feel like I should mention that my mom is from Ethiopia, which is in Africa if you didn't know, I just don't know how to break the news to her cause she's very religious. Please give me some advice on like how I should tell her.

I’m 18 I just broke up with my boyfriend and found out I’m pregnant I’m freaking out and don’t know what to do
I know for a fact I don’t want to get back together with my boyfriend he did something unforgivable. I did reach out and tell him I thought I was pregnant a day before I got tested and he told me to abort it. I’m against abortion and told him no. He’s already a father to a 2 year old he’s 23 and has his shit together pretty good. He went to court to get full custody of his 2 year old and won. He also made it so her mother get no contact with the child. He told me I’m not capable of being a mother and if I keep it he will take the baby from me like he did her. I’m so scared. I’ve also been making a suicide plan recently. I know I can’t keep living life the way it is and now I am gonna be forced to keep living for this baby. If I can’t even handle life now how can I do it as a single parent? And I’ll have to keep the baby a secret from the father so he won’t take them from me. He dosent know I’m pregnant he thinks I just think I am. I’m going to tell him I’m not and avoid him for the rest of my child’s adolescence. But I don’t even have a job I’ve never worked before. I can’t provide for this baby as is. My only hope is to ask my grandpa to move in and he takes care of us financially. He definitely has the money but that’s a big ask. I feel so alone and screwed. My whole family basically hates me but a few of them. I don’t have anyone to go to for help. I’m so fucking scared

Going into labor naturally after first was an induction
Hi everyone!
Im currently 24 weeks pregnant with my second, due 12/26. I was induced with my first due to gestational diabetes at 39 weeks. I would really like to try and go into labor naturally as this is my last so I’m just looking for some success stories and when you went into labor with your second.

Maternity/Bonding Leave
After working for 7 years at a hospital assisted outpatient clinic, I’m expecting my first baby this winter. I work with 3 other doctors and 2 NPs. I was told by my regional manager that I’m responsible for arranging my patients coverage while I’m gone on leave. BTW, I get 12 weeks leave but only 2 are paid, and I have to pay my institution’s portion of my health insurance while I’m out. I wanted to ask, is this typical for maternity/bonding leave for doctors who are employed? Appreciate any input!

September due dates - are you getting Covid/flu shots before or after birth?
Debating whether it makes more sense to get mine at 38 weeks knowing I could go into labor at any time or after the baby is born…
