well....i had unprotected sex with my ex-boyfriend (we were together though). That was May 26. I was supposed to have my period 12 days ago. i havent taken a pregnancy test due to the fact that it is hard for me to purchase one. My symptoms include: nausea, headaches, fatigue, sometimes constipation, i have to use the bathroom more frequent and my sense of smell and sensitivity to light has increased. Please help me. im 16 years old and im going to be a junior in high school. im anti-abortion but i know that i will be a good mother. Please help me.

The first sign that I knew I was pregnant was that my breasts got bigger. I didn't get morning sickness until I was pregnant a month or more. I had my first baby at age 33 and it gave me time to finish college, have my own life, travel and mature before I started a family. At age 16, you may find raising a baby a real challenge. Have you considered giving him or her up for adoption?

Well congrats! I think it is great that your mom is going to help out, having a baby is loads of work no matter how old you are. Most new moms worry about being a good parent, it is a big responsibility. All any of us can do is our best. As for what to expect, well some pain to start with lol. You will want to bring something comfy to wear and probably something a bit smaller to wear home, a nursing bra is a good idea and some breast pads, . Clothes for the babe, a carseat, a baby blanket if it is chilly where you live. Bring shampoo and soap, toothbrush and paste and some pads, the hospital ones are like freaking mattresses they are so big and uncomfortable, avoid any with a plastic coating though they are not comfy when you have to wear them for weeks on end. I took hard candy with me, sometimes you aren't allowed to eat while in labour so it is nice to have something to suck on. How long you stay depends on how you deliver. If you have the babe vaginally you can be home in as little as 12 hours. If it is a c-section then you stay a few days at least. My babies roomed in with me, they had a bassinet beside my bed and only went to the nursery to be weighed. Good luck!

You absolutely need to take a pregnancy test to make sure.
If it's difficult for you to obtain one at the drug store, there are plenty of clinics that provide free pregnancy testing. You can look online to see where your nearest clinic is.
Do not wait! The sooner you find out, the sooner you can sift through your options. If you are planning on keeping the child, the sooner you can get prenatal care. This is a huge decision and one that you shouldn't take lightly. You have your whole life ahead of you, so please weigh your options carefully. You have the option of terminating the pregnancy, becoming a mother, or finding a loving family for your child.
I wish you the best and advise that you take a pregnancy test as soon as possible. Every woman is different and you can't diagnose something based on symptoms alone. Please take care of yourself.

Well sweatheart, I hate to tell you that it sounds like you are pregnant. The good news is that now is a great time to be mature enough to talk to your parents. You will need their love and support during this time. You thought you were mature enough for sex, obviously. Now is the time to show how mature you really are. The great thing is that if you aren't pregnant, it is a great time for you r parents to know what kind of behavior you exhibit so you will not have another scare. Focus on becoming something great in life, not some guy's toy.

THIS IS HOW I PUT IT IF YOU WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT BEING PREGNANT, HOW COME YOU WERENT SO WORRIED WHEN YOU WAS DOIN THE NASTY? BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOU MAY BE PREGNANT BECAUSE I HAD ALL THOSE SAME SYMTOMS AND A LITTLE MORE BUT TO MAKESURE I WAS RIGHT I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT, AND I WAS 11 WEEKS INTO IT, AND NOW HERE I AM AT 7 1/2 MONTHS AND JUST WAITING FOR MY BABY TO GET HERE.
IM JUST 17, BUT YOU CAN DO IT YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT A BETTER LIFE FOR YOUR BABY 1ST, ALSO YOURSELF, AND DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!

sweetie to be honest it sounds like you are. you can buy a pregnancy test from your local dollar store. but if you can't get one there go to any local clinic or your school's nurse. I wish you the best and if it turns out that you aren't pregnant use condoms. not just to prevent pregnancy but also to prevent any disease also go get tested. not saying that your ex has something or you do but it is better to be safe than sorry
