i'm 13 and pregnet what should i do???

Answer 1

You should see a doctor. You are still a child, and pregnancy can be dangerous for adults, moreso for a child like yourself. Your body isn't designed to cope this kind of stress at this point. A doctor can tell you what to expect from a physical standpoint and let you know what your options are. Having a child, especially at your age, will probably be physically and emotionally traumatic. Having an abortion would probably be easier from a physical point of view, but you need to speak about it with your doctor and decide whether you believe it's the right choice for you. If you decide not to terminate the pregnancy, you really should look into adoption. They do open adoptions where you could stay involved in the child's life if you so desire, but you'd still be free to have a childhood yourself and your child would be raised by those who have more financial and emotional ability to give to him or her.

But you really do need to see a doctor soon. If you decide to have an abortion then you need to move quickly. If you decide to have the child you need to get on vitamins and get a checkup and make sure your life won't be in danger and your child will be as healthy as possible under the circumstances.

PS - someone else said that if you have an abortion then you won't be able to have children later. This is completely untrue. Having a legal abortion has no effect on your fertility. Illegal abortions can cause serious damage, but not legal ones, at least not 99% of the time. In reality, pregnancy is more dangerous and more of a threat to your future fertility than abortion is.

Know it's not a desirable situation, but it's not the end of the world. Now you need to plan. You are too young to raise a baby, but it's been done before and you have to grow up fast and stay way from the fast men. I hope you can sort this out with your parents. The father will also have a burden, but don't think this is an excuse to get married unless this situation is mutual with everyone. Do you have even on little doubt about marriage then don't get married and expect the father to pay the expenses.
Sex is fun, but the consequences are serious.

Answer 3

What is it that you want to do? If you bring up abortion on this site, you'll get plenty to support you because of your age, and plenty who will be against it calling it murder, and telling you that you should not murder a child because you were irresponsible.

To answer your question, you need a lot of support. I'm of the camp who says abortion is murder. It is a tough life you made for yourself. But with support from your family or church or both, you can make it. Adoption is an option. It may be hard just giving your child away. A relative may step in to raise your child. Maybe not if you have not changed your pattern of living.

You should stop having sex. I know that may be hard to do, but the likelihood of you getting pregnant the second time around is there and that may cut off some people who would help you.

My prayers are with you.

Answer 4

hmm well you can always have the baby and give it up for adoption, or have an abortion of you believe in them. Im sure you know this but if you keep the baby you'll miss out on all schooling events in middle and in high school. all of your money will go into the baby and such. You can tell your parents and tell them the mistake you made. Or what I suggest the most is going to a planned parent hood clinic, everything is confidential so your parents wouldnt know, I;m sure theyd be able to help you out alot. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you!

next time use protection and i know you'll probably hear this alot, but you're too young to be having sex, just cool down and enjoy your teenage yeears!

Answer 5

Consider your options and what you want for the future and what is best for your child. If you feel abortion is the option do your research before you make that big decision and then decide what is best. If you want to keep the child plan for the long run and what you want to accomplish in life to provide for both you and your child. If you feel that you are simple not ready for parent hood and feel another couple could provide a much better future for your child then I would look into adoption.

Always keep in mind what is BEST for your and your child. Don't let someone tell you want to think, if abortion, parenthood, or adoption is the better option to do then do not feel ashamed about doing it. Just make sure you do your homework on whatever you decide so you can make an educated decision in whatever you choose.

Good luck to you. Hang in there.

Answer 6

Tell your parents immediately and get ready for a complete life change. No more partying, hanging out with friends on the regular, no more freedom, No more you... if you plan to keep the child you will need to grow up REAL fast. If not , make sure you learn from this and don't make this mistake ever again until you'r fully an adult.

Answer 7

maybe you should seek some kind of counseling to determine what choices may be appropriate for you. If possible, give the child up for adoption, too many women out there that can not have their own children. This could be a good opportunity to turn your situation into a wonderful blessing for someone else.

Answer 8

Adoption is an amazing option. At 13 it can be very traumatic to have an abortion. Check out www.mercyministries.org and email me if you have any questions about it. I was a resident at mercy in the past.

Answer 9

Tell your parents, Talk to a Doctor, Adoption is the answer. There are many couple looking for a baby. Sometimes it can bee open and you can get up dates on how the baby is doing. Seek God also, pray.

Answer 10

The first thing you should do is see a doctor , to confirm you are. Then sit and talk to someone you trust, a parent, a aunt, and decide what is best for you and your baby. Think before you act, you can't take some things back.
