Congrats on the placement!!! I don't foster teens, but I have a friend who does. Since she is getting close to her due date, I would imagine alot of it is going to be getting her to her doctor's appointments and encouraging her to stay rested and healthy for the delivery. After the baby is born, who knows what will happen. Some teens do really well learning to care for their babies while in foster care, and others seem to perpetuate the habit of making poor choices. Ultimately your fd is still a child herself so just try to be understanding and encourage her to bond with the baby. Good luck and best wishes!!! Let us know how it goes.
