Re: im pregnant....

Wow, at 17 I can only imagine the scare of it all, I have had my worries and just worrying is stressful enough, but you have to tell your parents now, the sooner you tell them the quicker they will get over it and accept it, you don't wanna tell your parents when you start showing because when you have it they might still be upset. You might wanna sit down with the father and talk to him first and just let him know and see what needs to happens. I think you will be fine, and most mothers are after a year, but it is alot of stress it has to be and no one said it was going to be easy, PM me if need someone to talk to..... Wish you luck

Re: im pregnant....

You really do need to tell your parents. In order for you to get decent medical attention you going to have to.

Second you need to decide what your going to do. Whether you keep the baby, give it up, or abored the pregnancy. Do you really want to be a mother right now? You have your whole life ahead of you. States show that 99% of teens dads don't stay in the picture.

I'll tell you what I personally think you should do. I know some people aren't for abortions. It may seem horrible and what not but it's not. I think for your well being, your family, and for your baby that you should abored this pregnancy. Call me harsh and wrong it's just my thoughts and I'm being honest. I speak from experience. I got a abortion and sure I think what life would of been like with my beautiful baby. But I also know having my child was not the right choice.

But I fully understad that people don't want to do abortion based on what they hunk it's like. So the other option I think you should do is adoption. Get to a agency and start setting up meetings with potential families. Then also with that th awaiting family is paying the medical bills for this pregnancy not your parents. Adoption would be great too. A well deserving family would get a healthy baby. But on the flip side with I is YOU have to go through all the emotional medical and delivery of this child.

You really should start planning on what you are going to do. It's never to soon to plan. If you want to chat feel free to get a hold of me. Hope all goes well to you. Just make a desicion based on what's best for the BABY not what YOU personally want. After all it's not all about you right now. :hug:

Relax and catch your breath right now. Maybe call a pregnancy hotline to just get all your emotions out.

Re: im pregnant....

Hey Amanda,
I know this is going to be a very difficult and scary time for you, but the first thing you've got to do is to tell your parents. You need to seek medical attention immediately. They'll perform another pregnancy test just to confirm. Sometimes, home pregnancy tests can give false positives, but since you've taken four of them with all a 'YES' then I would say it's safe to say you are. A false positive four times is quite unheard of.
The doctor will also perform a sonogram to make sure everything is okay, and that there aren't any problems.
You'll also need to make a hard decision. Either, you will keep the baby (if so, I hope you have an amazing support system from parents, the babies father, friends), to give the baby up for adoption to a family who could provide for the baby, or to have an abortion.
If you decide to keep the baby, you need to get your hands on some prenatal vitamins that give the baby extra nutrients that it needs.

Re: im pregnant....

Hey there, I'm sure its scary, pregnancy is a rather big deal. My suggestion would be to talk to your parents and seek some medical advice. Its your choice wether or not you decide to keep your child, put it up for adoption or abort the pregnancy. Look into all your options but first thing first you need to see a doctor.
