Don't have an abortion. It's murder no matter what people tell you. If you don't want to keep it, give it up for adoption. There are tons of people in this world who would give anything for a baby.

The first thing you need to do is establish if you are or are not pregnant. The easiest thing to do is get a home pregnancy test and you should know in minutes. If you are pregnant, then you need to get yourself to a doctor to have it confirmed and to check your health.
If you are pregnant, there are so many people out there who will help you. You might be afraid of telling your family, but they will probably surprise you and turn out to be your biggest supporters. Parents are more resiliant than you think. Sure, they may get upset and be disappointed, but then they love you and want the best for you. That doesn't mean they won't still love you if you've made a mistake. Your yellowpages will be full of people who can talk to you and help you, and local church groups will help too. You should let the father know. There are so many options available to you that are so much better than abortion. Abortion is an option, but as you said it is not right. You could keep the baby and raise it yourself with help from family and the father of the child, or you could make another family incredibly happy with the child they have been unable to have themselves. I know of a couple who waited so many years before they could get a baby to adopt, and that child is so happy with them. Your baby, if you are pregnant, may be the one who will find the cure for cancer or who will initiate world peace, or they may just be a wonderful person who makes the world a nicer place in little ways.
If you are not pregant, you've had a wakeup call. Now you need to think about the decisions you make with relationships. Decisions we make now can affect us for the rest of our lives and the angst you are feeling now is just a taste of things. It is easy to say "use contraception" but all contraception has a failure rate. Before you perform a sexual act that can result in the conception of a child, you need to consider what you will do if a child results. Is it worth it? If you are in a committed relationship with someone who will support and protect you through your pregnancy and who will be a good father to your children, then perhaps you are ready. If you don't know if this bloke will be around for very long, and if he doesn't seem like a responsible type, then maybe you should just keep your friendship on a non-physical level. Guys should be responsible for their actions, but unfortunately, and history will back me up here, many of them are not responsible.
Don't panic. Just take the tests and go from there. You will be OK. You can do this. If you are 16 years old and you have a job, then you obviously have some brains there. I think you can be mature enough to go through a pregnancy. Whether you decide to keep the child or have it adopted to a loving family, it won't be easy. Still, your child will be alive and will have the opportunity to live and grow. You won't have the guilt and pain associated with an abortion. I know women who have had abortions decades ago who are still suffering. It really is not the easy way out.
I'll pray for you in the meantime, but good luck whichever way the tests go, and stay positive. Don't listen to negative people who judge you. You are better than that.

First off hun it is been close to a 12 months out of your son's beginning already. The youngster may not be enormous ample to purpose harm in your uterus by the point you hit the arbritary a million 12 months mark. Definately make a medical professional's appointment and feature them do the checks to be certain your uterus is in well situation and move from there. I'm sorry your husband was once so insensitive. On the turn part I recognise for a indisputable fact that having slightly boy just about a 12 months historic is an excessively attempting time of progress and he might not be capable to leap into elevating an extra youngster so quickly. Also appear at the truth that he is also scared s**tless after what you went by way of to have your son and is scared of what might occur this time round. He simply reacted with a intestine intuition. And just a bit data although you're superb in how you're taking beginning manipulate capsules it's nonetheless particularly natural to get pregnant if thats the one approach of prevention used. My sister has a a million 12 months historic daughter to end up it!

Wait and see if you really are pregnant, take a test and be sure. If you are, I think adoption would be a loving and responsible choice. It's not easy, but it is often best for the child.
I am a birth mother of twins I placed for adoption several years ago. I was in my 20's, but didn't have the means to support them. I chose a loving couple, and they have a wonderful family. It is an open adoption which means I get pictures and letters, and someday will be able to meet the children. It was difficult, but I know I made the right choice and have NEVER regretted it.
Now, I am in a better place, am married and am expecting my second child with my husband. If I had made a different choice, I would not have the great life I have today.
Good luck to you, and please do what you feel is best for the child. Feel free to contact me with questions.

I would go to the doctor to see if you really are pregnant before wigging out. But if you are I say it was your choice to have intercourse so you should have it. I mean I would rather know I had a child out in the world somewhere from adoption then thinking that I killed it because I was immature from abortion. What if you were the abortion baby? I'm sure that might change your perspective if you were told you were suppose to be a aborted baby. I mean you can do adoption or even a open adoption where you can see the child and all that it just isn't in your custody....don't do a abortion just because you are scared.

if you are pregnant you need to have serious thought about what would be better for the baby. Either keep it and raise it or give it up for adoption. You can even do an open adoption so that you can continue to be apart of the babies life if that is important to you. But in reality you don't need to worry about it until you take a pregnancy test. The longer you are stressed about it the later you could be because stress will make your period not happen. So my advise is to chill

I'm proud of you for not taking the easy way out and getting an abortion. Now, you have three options: keep the baby, put it up for adoption, or have someone you know adopt it. One of my friends, when we were 15, got pregnant and her older brother and his wife adopted her baby. It's nice to keep the biological mother in the child's life, even if not as the mother figure. Talk to your parents (moms are usually more helpful than dads- and a lot calmer!) and choose what's best for you and the baby. Good luck!

Before you start jumping to all of these what am I gonna do questions, go take a pregancy test first. Then if you should happen to be pregnant they are so many couples out there that would love to have a baby and can't. Just find a respectable agency to go thru and find a loving couple for your baby.

Well, don't have an abortion, it's wrong. If you don't think you can give the child a good life, put he/she up for adoption. There are thousands of people that cannot have children but want them desparately and will surely be good parents. If you don't want to do that, give the baby to a relative until you are stable enough to take care of it. However, you ought to see if your pregnant first....Good luck! :)

Go to the doctor or take and test and if you are keep it or if that's not an option right now, put the baby up for adoption with a family member so when you are ready and stable you can get your child back.

First of all you need to find out if you even are pregnant. Go get a test and see if you really are pregnant. At your age it is very common for periods to be a little off from time to time.
