So, im 16 and could be pregnant..?

Question

My boobs are sore, I can't really feel it unless I squeeze or press on them. Im not really sure if I have any other signs other than I've been using the restroom room, I felt a bit dizzy when I woke up this morning. I have no idea on how to go about telling my parents if I am, so any helpful (and please no rude) comments. Im really not looking for anyone to criticize me, please just helpful answers. This is already hard on me, and I know i've screwed up big time.

I can't drive. My parents run my life and until I miss my period (which I haven't yet) I won't be able to tell them. I've also had some pretty sharp pains in my stomach.

Answer 1

Have you missed a period? Have you taken a test? Sometimes worrying too much can make you feel the symptoms that you are worried about. Relax and don't get ahead of yourself. Take a test, and then if it comes up positive you can worry about your parents. The easiest way is to just bite the bullet and tell them. The longer you wait the harder it will be. They will probably be angry at first, but with time they will most likely accept it and be supportive of you and the decisions that you make for you and your baby. Good luck to you!!

Answer 2

Bless your heart. It is nobody's place to judge you and to wipe your mistake in your face. We all make mistakes and we all learn and grow from them. Things do happen for a reason .

You are showing symptoms of pregnancy. Sometimes our bodies do that though. When I am near my ovulation stage, my breasts get tender and sometimes I get a little dizzy too, our bodies do crazy things.

The things you want to think about is if you have missed your period or if you are late. If you have or if you are, then you need to consider taking the test. You can get them fairly cheap at Wal mart or K mart.

I know this is a pretty frightening time for you and a worrisome time. You really do need to sit down with your folks and calmly talk to them. Of course they will be a bit shocked and maybe seem as if they are unaccepting. They are your parents and they love you.

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that you are someone that comes from a loving home.

Good luck to you. I hope all goes well.

Answer 3

Before telling your parents, you need to think about your options and which one you prefer.
(1) Raise the baby yourself
(2) Give the baby up for adoption to a better home than a 16 yo can give it
(3) Abortion (you don't need to tell your parents for this one)

If you want your paretns help in making your choice, then at least you've already thought some beforehand. If you don't want them making the choice with you, then you'll need to be strong.

Whoever the father is is likely to vanish.

By the way, all the choices are bad when you don't want to be pregnant. You'll suffer regret no matter which way you go.

Answer 4

Well I was in the same situation but I was 14 1/2. Turned out I was. My boobs were sore and I felt dizzy and sick. My mom was there 4 me as always. My father was mad cuz my sis had a baby when she was 14 and he didn't want me to be like her. He thought is was his fault, that he wasn't a good parent. I knew I wasn't ready an wasn't sure if the dad was goin to be around so I got an abortion. It didn't hurt but the cramps messed me up. I'm not use to them cuz I never get them. I think back on it like what the baby would be like but I regret nothing. The baby would have been miserable. You should be able to talk to your parents. I know u might not want to cuz u don't want them to be mad or ashamed of u but do it. They will always love you. If you don't want them to know your havin sex jus in case your not pregnant go to a free clinic an get a pregnancy test. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

First off, you ought not to be having sex and it's your parents fault if you are because they should have been watching you OR making sure another responsible adult was keeping track of you. So, this is their parenting problem here. Second, if you are NOT pregnant, don't put yourself in this position again until you are married and can afford to raise a child properly.

If you ARE pregnant, make sure you eat often and drink LOTS of water. It really helped my friend. She had NO morning sickness at all and no pain when she did give birth! Some people think eating will make them sick, but pregnancy is the one case where this is NOT true! It is the opposite. Eat more often, but don't overeat.

Personally, I wouldn't trust my teenager alone with any boy. If your parents did. It's partially their fault so they just need to be grown up enough to help deal with it! Will they be mad? Unless they are really bad parents, heck yeah! But you aren't going to be able to raise a child all by yourself. Another tip, make sure the responsible father of the baby pays his due and takes responsibility watching the kid. It makes me sick when boys think they can sleep around and the girls will be stuck with the babies. They deny everything and then never take responsibility. It takes a MAN in the boy's life in order for him to grow up like a MAN. Otherwise, he grows up and then fails to take responsibility. It becomes a chain reaction. That's why so many kids are on welfare and such. Because too many grown ups are still boys and don't know how to be MEN. My friend is pregnant again with her second baby and his father is denying this one too! And the first one had his family resemblance so to was obvious he is the father. Also, keep in mind that boys will go to any lengths to sleep with you and then make you deal with the baby by yourself. If he denies it, make him take a test and prove he is the father and make him support that baby! It's more your job to raise the child, but it is Biblically all his job to pay! And remember! His parents are just as responsible as yours!

AND

Abortion IS murder! However way you look at it, it is living inside you if you are pregnant. That's why it needs to eat and drink and gets rid of waste like you do. Later, that's why it kicks. It probably kicks before and you just don't feel it because it is too small. I personally think abortion should be illegal across the board. Second, if you can't even vote, then why should you be allowed to have an abortion without parent's consent? Heck, you can't even consent to get your ears pierced but you can MURDER your own child? That's crazy! Well, maybe planned parenthood doesn't see it that way, but God does, and all these baby murderers will just be dumped in to hell with the others! Sorry to lecture, but someone elses comment just made me mad!

Seriously, though, I have known people who thought about getting an abortion, but they had their baby and now they're choosing to have another one. Your parents will help. Trust me! Something about little kids smile that always gets the grandparents help!

Answer 6

If you have a really good relationship with your parents then sit down and try to talk with them. If you're not ready yet and want to find out for sure go to you school nurse and see if you can have one of the pregnancy tests done. You really need to talk with someone that you can trust and get the right answers from. I know that right now all of this is confusing and frightening but finding out for sure would be a first great step. Good Luck

Answer 7

Go to your parents, and talk to them. Im an 18 year old, and im pregnant with my first baby. The way i did it, is i went and i took a test..i had a friend go take me to take the test. If you dont wanna take it at home then maybe have a friend let you take it at their house. Or even if you have to go to a store or gas station and take it if you dont wanna take it at home/friends. But i took a test, and the line for negative showed up first..well it was a 3-4 minute test and at the very last second the line for postive showed up next to negative..it was very light, but still there. I guess to say i was lucky, and had a gyno app. the next day. There i asked them to give me a test and they found out for sure i was pregnant. I drove around for a while thinking of how to tell my mom and what else not. So finally i just bite the bullet and i came home and called her because she was at work. She was mad..real mad. I mean she didnt want to come home at all, so she went and talked to my aunt for like 3 hrs about it. But they will be mad, but they will get over it. They will tell you its a big resonbilty because it is. I mean its a child, like my step-father said it best..you just cant play with it and put it back on the self. But now my mom is buying me onsies(sp?) and she is getting together with people to put a baby shower together for me. My step-father is making sure i eat and drink right. So they will be mad...but it will pass..been there to know! : ) goodluck and let us know how it goes! : ) If you have any other questions..myself or anyone on here is glad to help : )

Answer 8

Constructive Critism:

Suck it up. If you can muster enough 'gumption' to take part in adult activities, then you MUST be adult enough to handle the repercussions. It is what it is. If your parents REALLY ran your life, you wouldn't even be asking this question (because you would have never had sex). So, your only option is to act like the adult that you so desparately tried to prove that you were (by having sex). And babygirl, this really isn't criticism. You're just learning that you're not as grown as you thought you were. The funny thing is that you probably argue with your parents about how they treat you like a child (you know I'm speaking the truth).

Answer 9

Have a test taken and if it turns out that you are pregnant, go to your mother and tell her. Your mother loves you, and she will help you to do whatever needs to be done. Why would you try to hide the fact? She will learn it sooner or later! The quicker you get it over with the better off you are going to feel. Your mom will help you to talk to your dad. You have alot of growing up to do now, and this is the first step. The way you handle this will tell how it will all turn out. Good luck! I know you feel scared, but
it 's nothing to what lies ahead of you, and you will need the support of your parents! Good luck and lol.

Answer 10

Like others said, get a test kit.

Signs, Nipples are discolored and popping out all the time.
Depending how long your pg, you could be retaining alot of water in your belly.

Parents are all different and react bad to this at first. Has your mom ever said, if you need help to let me know? If so, then tell her this is a time when you need her.
