    You say you are looking for a home. Where are you living now? Is there any way you can stay in your current home? At 17 you won't be able to enter into a contract for a private rental so will need to stay with family/ friends or a council provided home. Some councils have mother and baby units (a bit like hostels but designed for those with babies).

    Thank goodness - I doubt we'll cut our teenage pregnancy rate any other way!
