You are only 15 and pregnant? Wow that's soooooooooooo young. But at least you are keeping your baby and not aborting or adopting it out. Why don't they have a baby shower for you? That's what people usually do for their first baby.

Along with the rest of all the stuff already posted, you may want one of those nice pillows for under your arm for when you're feeding the baby. So you don't get pain in you shoulder! ;)

Dont forget yourself......
You will need for the hospital ( and after)

maternity pads ( most of the "overnight" pads are also maternity..... Libra good nights are great) 2 packs for the hospital bag...... 2 packs at home will do you through the first 2 weeks or more....

Breats pads ( even if you dont breast feed you may still leak)

new pjs....... Nothing nicer once youve had the bub than nice new nightclothes

new underwear...... 3 feeding bras if your breast feeding....... Underwire bras are not recommended after you have a baby untill all your milk dries up because you can develope mastitis.

New slippers

a nice outfit to go home in ( if you can afford it ) why not pamper your self!!!!!!

Hey I said breast pump...It can be a pain to breastfeed. Expecially if your away or they dont are not getting enough milk..Also some peole are unable. I mean obviously it the best thing you can do..All im saying is I understand why people bottle feed too.
