What would u do if u found out u were pregnant and still a teenager?
 

This Question is a really interesting one for me to ask because so many people have so many different opinions and thoughts on it.
So, heres my thought: knowing me im pretty sure i would immediately either cry, or feel my stomach and then cry. um...i think in the end my decision would be to immediately take the abortion pill or the surgical abortion without thinking it through for myself. i would notify my mom or whoever the father was at least so they were prepared for what was gunna happen but, i just think some girls just have to think rationally instead of letting those happy emotions set in. its like when u find a lost kitty on the sidewalk, take it home and ask "mommy can we keep it please?!" its like u know it may have a home but u let the emotions set in.
the reason why i think this for only SOME GIRLS, is because it depends on what career they want, how many important things are happening to them in the future, and just the fact if they are really ready for a kid because i hear labor is extremely painful, and it is hectic to raise a kid evem thought u love em, the choice of keeping that child, makes u lose your priviledges as a kid yourself. my thoughts. whats yours?

I can say without a doubt I would have kept it. I was one of those teenagers that almost secretly wanted it to happen.

BUT If I hadn't been so very, very naive and had like an older self to come and enlighten me on how incredibly difficult and expensive it is I hope I would have chosen to abort. I'm lucky it happened when it did and that I was financially stable and with a partner who was willing to stick by me and my decision. I can only imagine how hard and exhausting my life would be right now if I'd gotten pregnant at 16 to be honest. There is no reason to make life harder than it needs to be and I've realized that there is plenty of time for everything, especially having kids.

Personally, at the moment, with me not in a relationship and not about to get pregnant, I'd keep the baby, I don't know what the hell I would do if I was, but I'd probably talk to my mother and end up keeping the baby or giving the child up for adoption to someone I could trust. My high school has an amazing daycare, and is open to teen mothers as long as they have good grades, good attendance, and pick their children up on time. I don't really have a social life, and I know I could have help from my parents.

^^' I think I'd only choose abortion if it's a health risk... but I don't really know since I am not pregnant and not planning to any time soon.

First I would be kinda shocked and maybe do one of thoes weird suprised squeaky screams lol. Then I would start to panic worrying about what everyone will think and what I am going to do. Then I would tell my bf and my parents and once they are all done being mad i would be excited cuz i love kids then at my first appointment i would be afraid and yeah lol i would go through with it and do my best to support it.

If I found out I was pregnant... Well, knowing me, this would be highly unlikely unless something unusual happened... But things do happen. So, my mom has talked with me about this because both her and my grandmother have gotten pregnant young and unwed. They both chose to keep the babies, because they were a little older(About middle of college). My family and I are all very pro-life, so of course my mom told me that if I got pregnant, no matter what the circumstances, that I should keep it and my mom would help me take care of it.

It would work for me, and I would have the support for my friends and family, so I probably would just sit with a shocked expression at first then embrace the fact that I'm going to be a mother for the rest of my life!

However, I do acknowledge that it's not the best decision for other people, and I'm okay with that. I'd rather they choose adoption, but their choices are their choices, I can't change them.

Technically I'm not a teenager anymore as I turned 20 in December but at this point in my life I know it would still scare me to be pregnant. I love kids and babies and I've spent most of my life babysitting when my other friends were out partying and it is pretty easy for me to sit here and type this and say that I'd be ready for the responsibilities parenthood would throw my way but I know I wouldn't be. is anyone ever ready for the responsibilities of a child?

All of those things being said I've also wanted a baby for as long as I can remember and I absolutely can't wait to have one of my own when the time is right. I know I could never abort a baby and personally I probably wouldn't ever consider adoption either. I could never go through with either case of losing my child. I never put myself in the situation where I could have become pregnant as a teenager but if I was to have put myself in that situation and become pregnant I'd feel a need to do whatever I could to provide for and care for my baby. If I'm going to be having sex with someone and I found myself with the responsibility of a baby after I couldn't shirk that responsibility. I shall try and avoid my rant about those who choose to abort their babies without much other consideration or use the mornin fter pill though. My stance on abortion is one of the few that is strong in my mind and probably better suited to a different forum :P.

Anyways...without a doubt I'd keep the baby. I'd be scared and it would be hard btu I couldn't live with myself if I didn't

If I was pregnant, I wouldn't be able to murder the baby unless the doctors were absolutely certain I would die from it. Even if it was a child of rape. I know that sounds odd, but when I think about how it isn't the child's fault he or she was created through something like that, I can't help it.

Most likely, considering the fact that I don't have a stable job nor have finished my education, I would give the child up for adoption. Not for myself, but for the baby. If I could, I would like an open adoption so I could still see my child and be in his or her life, even if it's partially from afar so he could stay attached to his adoptive parents without confusion. I just couldn't leave someone I'd kept under my heart for nine months and not have anything to do with them anymore... So yeah, to sum it up, I'd go for open adoption.

I would have an abortion. If I were to have a baby in forty weeks, that would severely hurt my college education, not to mention my health and expenses.

I wouldn't abort it. I just don't like the thought of abortion. Most probably I would put him/her up for adoption.

Cry alot, go doctors and find out who the daddy is, tell the daddy he is the father of my dot, decide to keep baby or not THEN tell my mum

Re: What would u do if u found out u were pregnant and still a teenager?
 

I'm against abortion except in certain circumstances, such as the mother's life being endangered.

Honestly, I've already had this talk with my boyfriend. We agreed that if I were to become pregnant, we would raise the child together. He would want me to move in with him and his family as soon as possible, and he would take full responsibility and help me through it all.

And honestly, even if he was the type of guy to try to abandon a girl after getting her pregnant, his parents aren't. If he tried to pull a stunt like that they'd be seriously pissed and tell him he WILL help me raise it.

As for telling my parents, not sure how I'd go about that. :nosweat:

I would keep the baby. I can't just give him/her up. I can't make a child go through a life without knowing the actual mom.
