Honey.....how old are you???
What are you going to have to give up if you keep the child???
I had my child when I was 19 and that was WAY too young. Honestly if I had it to do over I would have chosen something else. I love my child like crazy, but have given up so much because of all the untold responsibility that comes with parenthood.
My child is 9 now and I am counting the years until she is 18 and can be on her own so that I can once again have the independence I once had. Anytime I want to have "me time" I have to put out money for a babysitter and all this is based on availability. No more spontaneous outings.
Don’t get me wrong...I am an excellent parent; my child is beautiful, happy, well loved, a girl scout, plays sports, has a lovely room and many friends to share her time with.
Sweetheart, if you are not ready for this please consider all of your options. I am sure tons of people around you and perhaps on this board will try to convince you that keeping the child is the best option, trust me please...it is a VERY SERIOUS responsibility.
Don't play around with this, it is no game, things do not just fall into place and it will not simply "work out". If you decide to be a parent you will have to be VERY resourceful to make it, go to school, work, live...and the list continues.
Consider all of your options, be wise, think of your future. Are you REALLY ready???
Bless you in your life.

Wow Hana that's a difficult question to answer. But first off you are not sure yet, I mean there is a possibility of you not being pregnant. [The good side] But lets assume that you are. I think first you need to talk with your partner, then you both need to asses whats best for the both of you at this point. Possibly marrying, raising the child as a single parent etc. I think the last option you should think about is abortion. There are other alternatives such as adoption. Seek counseling, maybe even from your parents.
Most important thing is not to panic and not do anything rash.
Good luck. Things have away of working out.

Just try to relax and see if you're late first. We all have these scares at times...
If you are a week late then get a test from the chemist. On the slim chance it is positive get some advice from your local Family Planning Clinic.
It is scary but this time will pass and it will work out for the best either way.

Get an at home pregnancy test from Wal-Mart or a pharmacy. You do not need a prescription, you just get it off the shelf yourself. If it shows negative than try it again in a week or two to make sure. Also, while you are at the store, get some protection for next time.

YOU SHOULD JUST BUY A PREGNANCY TEST AND THEN YOU WILL NO FOR SURE IF YOU ARE OR AREN'T. IF YOU ARE ALL YOU CAN DO IS FACE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A CHILD ON THE WAY. I KNOW THAT IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE YOUR WORLD IS CRASHING ALL AROUND YOU BUT ONCE YOU HOLD THAT LITTLE BABY IN YOUR ARMS YOU WILL THEN SEE THAT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. IF YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT YOU SHOULD BE SURE TO USE PROTECTION EVERY TIME IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME. I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR THE BEST FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK.

Hanna, first thing is first go to the doctor. Take a pregnancy test and an STI test which includes a HIV test. If you choose to continue your pregnancy you have to start taking care of yourself today. Talk to your family, friends, get as much support as you can. If this was a casual sexual encounter don't count on the guy being happy but do talk to him about it.

Have you ever heard of the "morning after pill"?? You can take it up to 3 to 4 days of having unprotected sex and there's very little chance of getting pregnant.

Go see your doctor right away -- he/she will ask you for a urine sample and from that they will be able to get results within 24 hours.
If you don't feel comfortable going to your doctor -- buy a pregnancy test at the drugstore and do it at home yourself.
(and please, PLEASE start using condoms from now on, ok? Is it really worth you going through this fear again? and you could also catch STD's which could last your entire life and like HIV could eventually be fatal). Or just ask your doctor to go on the pill (but you should still use condoms with that, too). Best of luck to you.
