What
is it like to be a teenager and to discover
that you are pregnant? How do you tell your
parents? What will their reaction be? The JUST A
BEGINNING: PRENATAL CARE FOR TEENS DVD addresses
these issues and many more. JUST A BEGINNING
features a group of pregnant teenagers sharing
their sincere and compelling concerns and
experiences. The program's host, also a pregnant
teen, shows how good prenatal care is the best way
to have a healthy baby.
JUST A BEGINNING provides guidance for dealing with the emotional and physical burdens of teen pregnancy with topics including:
• Relationships
• Sources of help
• Good nutrition
• Exercise and rest
• Effects of alcohol, tobacco, & drugs
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Healthcare visits
• Continued education
JUST A BEGINNING ends with an inspiring story of hope for the future, a testimonial from a once pregnant teen who went on to raise her child and continue her education. She now has a master's degree and is working toward her doctorate.
JUST A BEGINNING makes its message clear: "Take good care of yourself and your baby. The future may be different than what you expected, but can still be bright."
Review from Booklist
"In JUST A BEGINNING: PRENATAL CARE FOR TEENS, a group of teen moms share some realistic and cautionary advice about physical health and emotional issues during pregnancy. Relationships with one's parents and with the baby's father, issues about school and future goals, and vital information about prenatal care are covered. Portraying a savvy teen mom, a host squarely addresses the enormous responsibilities and decisions of a pregnant teen. Making the greatest impact are the gripping, effectively incorporated personal stories of the young moms (being kicked out of their homes, losing a drug-addicted newborn). Tough yet constructive, this is an excellent resource for teen-baby programs."
"Teens should relate well to this film...a great video, one I highly recommend for pregnant minor programs."
