Answer 2

you must make your own decision. 110% all for yourself. Do not choose anything to please your parents, friends, your social class..anyone. In the end you will pay, trust me. I was 17 got pregnant planned on keeping the baby and my dad said I go or he goes and my bf left me I had no idea what to do. I wasnt given the proper information and too much pressure around me. I ended up having an abortion which scars me to this day. I am 21 and just to think I would have a 3 year old. And I am no better off now than I was then. I am not agaist abortion, but now learning from my past It was not the choice for me. Look into your self whatever you decide there will be people to support you. You can always go to planned parenthood and talk to someone or a local church or call a crises center! good luck!

Answer 3

Been there done that! You'll live through it figure out who is there for support for you and who is not. Get a job! and start thinking about your future and the babies! So It don't happen again well... DON'T DO IT!!! But we all know we don't live by that, no birth control is 100% and 1 kid is enough for right now. Ask your doc what they think is best than start asap right after you have your baby. Just be more careful. and good luck to ya' also after you have your baby planned parent hood and stuff will help for birth control and what not there are alot of programs out there for ya! Any questions feel free to e-mail me :)

Answer 4

Well, I realize your scared and probabley cryed when you first found out or was at least in shock. I would go to the docter to get prenatal care and vitamins has soon has possible! They by law aren't allowed to tell your parents, so doing this will show some responiblity at least, then I would talk to your parents.

If you don't have a medical card, you qualify for one so you won't have to pay for you doc. appts. you also will recieve WIC which will give you some healthy foods to eat and later give your baby food.

Talk to your boyfriend or who ever the guy was that got you preg. Hopefully he will help you through this. If not you could get him for child support.

Later when the baby is born you could possibley qualify for moutain heart which is a program that pays for all or some of the cost for a daycare to watch your baby while you finish school.

And if you don't want to keep the baby you can also give it up for adoption or for foster care just dont do abortion.

Answer 5

You should talk to your parents, they may be upset, but eventually they will find out. You need some support from people who love and care about your well being and the well being of this baby. They will help you with this tough choice and help you do what is best. I really wish you the best and the best for the baby. I can't tell you what that is because I don't know you, they do and trust me they love you and you will feel better to have them in your corner.

Answer 6

Okay sweetie. First of all, to prevent it from happening again, if you are going to have sex then you should get on the pill (after you have had this baby) and ALWAYS have the guy wear a condom. Next, you need to see an ob/gyn RIGHT AWAY to get prenatal treatment. Your ob can put you in touch with the many programs and assisstance agencies for young mothers. Remember that you can also choose adoption, there are many wonderful couples out there who are praying for children. I had an unexpected pregnancy and chose the adoption route. If you need someone to talk to please feel free to contact me at [e-mail]

Answer 7

Honey- tell the father first and talk to him about what you guys are going to do. Then you need to talk to your parents and his parents. I don't think you should have an abortion you don't need to go through that and it can cause depression. It is a horrific thing. I think that if you decide that you don't want the baby because you are too young to take care of it there is an option called open adoption so that you can be a part of the childs life. The child doesn't know that you are the parent until he/she is old enough to understand why you made the choice that you made. If you need someone to talk to send me a msg. Good Luck!

Answer 8

I am 17 and I am pregnant and what really helped me was just telling my parents. They answered all the questions I had. You need to go to the doctor to make sure everything is ok with you and your baby. You should think about trying to find a couple that is willing to adopt I am sure they would be very apriciative if you gave them your baby.

Answer 9

Please go to a pregnancy care center as soon as possible. They will be able to give you counseling, emotional support and all the help and information you will need to raise your baby or place him or her with a loving adoptive family. They can also give you referrals for financial, medical, legal, and housing assistance, free ultrasounds (at some centers), and free maternity and baby supplies. All of their services are totally free and confidential. You can find a center near you here:

or by calling 1-800-395-HELP. Please keep in mind that people who are in the business of SELLING abortion (like Planned Parenthood) are not going to give you unbiased information! It is much better to go to people who have NO financial interest in your situation and just want to help you.

Answer 10

Whatever you do , please don not terminate the pregnancy, we are lucky to live in the country we live in, there are tons of help out there specially for young girls like you. I think you are way too young to be having a baby, but now that is in your womb, do your best to bring this child to a safe, secure and fit family, and I would strongly suggest you after you have this baby, to stop your sexual life, you are just a child and now you are carrying another child. Step up, be a mom and do your best for that little Innocent creature inside you. Good luck and God bless!
