What would it be like for my characters?
Asked by: Annanan from -
Hi, i don't know whether you might be able to help me with something. I am writing a novel in it my MC (main character) gets his 17 year old girlfriend preganant.He is also just 17 at the time. Now having had 3 kids of my own i kind of know most of the technical stuff however i had my first kid in late 20's and i was married, so what i need to know for my novel is there anything specific about being a pregnant teen that would concern my characters.

They keep their baby. I need things like, how school, friends, family etc react also how are teens treated when turning up in Labor suite. Do the staff treat you the same as they would anyone else.

Thanks
Wendy
