Well, when I was preggo this year, I went
into a class at school called "intro to
preschool" and what it did was help
explain some things about teen parenting
and stuff (our city has one of the highest
rates in canada for teen pregnancy...
Also std's )
so theres two classes at school for teen
parenting and I took this one and I found
it quite good cuz the teacher who was
teaching the class was also a teen parent
and she gave me smoe good advice and views
and what not on it. I think it helped a
bit.. They also threw me a baby shower

Ya I didnt have to take this class it was
my choice. We learned how to sew and do
all kinds of crafts. It was great
My sister has three girls, megan- 4,
hailey- 2, and kaitlyn- 1 month. She
moved to colorado about 5 months ago, but
before that she lived right down the
street and I hung out there everyday.
Believe you me, that was the only
parenting class I needed. Some parenting
stuff you just can't teach, and if anyone
tried I wouldn't want to learn from them.
But as far as sewing and stuff that's
cool.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I
was given videos to watch about everything
about newborns to toddlers and teen
parenting in general. I think I still
have them.
When I went for my first prenatal care
visit I got a big goody bag with magazines
and coupons and such. I got this video
on breastfeeding that is to this day still
wrapped in cellophane. I might wanna
check that out, but not now. I still
have four monthes to go.
