HELP I'M PREGNANT!!!!!

I discovered I was pregnant in May, after my Mother guessed I was while we were on holiday in Wales. She likes to think she has this special intuition or something with me, although she's been right every time in her predictions so far so I can't really argue it.  I was terrified of telling my partner Henry as I thought he would think I had tricked him into it. I am incredibly impulsive and don't think things through properly and I had already messed up my pills which is why I'd got pregnant in the first place. It was something we'd talked about doing in the future, it just happened a little sooner than planned, and of course he was nothing but supportive and happy about it (more so than me!)
Obviously it was the worst time I could be pregnant - bang in the middle of studying nursing, but then again, I don't think there would ever be a convenient time for something like this to happen in my life, which has always been turbulent and manic to say the least.
The first thought to run through my head when I found out was how the hell could I look after someone else when I have trouble looking after myself? I had already taken intermittent leave twice from university due to mental health issues.  I guess it didn't matter in the end because I knew it was what I wanted and I felt good about our decision to keep the baby, however scary it was or afraid I was of my problems getting in the way of being able to cope.  The longer the pregnancy has been going on the more confident I've felt about it. I might be a bit crazy sometimes but I know that this is going to be one of the most important things to happen to me and I know I will do anything and everything to provide the best possible life for my child.
