Congratulations. Have you told the father of your baby yet?
Decide what you want to do first. Your parents will ask you.
Perhaps if you told your mom first and then ask her to help you
tell your dad. Your dad will want to meet the baby's father and
will demand to know what and how he plans on taking care
of his responsibilities. The fact that you are 18 makes you an adult. I think your parents will have mixed feelings and reactions
to the news. In the end they will stand by you and help any way
they can. They love you and always will. Never view this
baby as a mistake. Your baby is a blessing. May I suggest
parenting classes. Again congratulations.

Just be open and honest with your parents, they might seem upset at first but then in the long run they will turn out and be happy to you and cherish the moments of being grandparents. Your parents can help you find a doctor etc. If you feel uneasy about asking them to help you you can go to your local family planning clinic and they can also help you. Good luck in whatever you decide to do but plz remember that you are pregnant and you not only have yourself to think of but also the baby and in most cases the baby's father also. Again good luck

Adoption is an rather achievable determination. while you're actually not waiting to be a discern, this would be a manner so which you will carry the infant to term, and then have your existence lower back. 43k will actual look after somewhat one, yet your way of existence will would desire to alter. Your concentration will now would desire to be on the hot infant you're bringing into the international, and on being a discern quite than a 24 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old social gathering lady. in case you may't make that leap into entire discern mode and easily be happy that it quite is your new existence, then do not shop the infant. a infant merits to return into the international needed and enjoyed. infants desire mum and dad that would concentration on them first and in no way positioned their desires earlier to the infant. many cases a pregnant mom will make judgements in keeping with avoidance of destructive thoughts. What I advise is that an unplanned pregnant mom will shop the infant quite than face the stable thoughts of giving it up for adoption, or get an abortion. a stable woman will look at the place she desires to bypass and if somewhat one will end or ward off her plans, she will make that confusing determination and understand that notwithstanding it is confusing and that she will have some emotional moments, she will say particular to a minimum of a few thing quite than have her existence became the different way up because of the fact she can't stay along with her judgements. human beings will make comments, inform you which you will desire to shop the infant... each and every style of issues. yet, it quite is finally your determination, and purely you may pick what your destiny would be like via the thoughts you're making now. you may pick some thing different than becoming to be a mom... and it would be ok. Many others have made that determination, and that they are ok now. particular, it quite is confusing to make that style of determination, yet whilst somewhat one will interrupt your existence too lots, you DO have those thoughts while you're stable adequate to compliment one in all them.

I know its hard but just sit down with your parents and be honest. the sooner you do the better you will feel and the less stress you will be putting on you and your unborn cnild. If you have medical insurance you can just find a doctor through the insurance company. If not you can always get state assistance and medicaid. You should see a doctor in the next week or so for your initial visit. Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy.

First thing.. is stop and take a deep breath.. then smile you are going to be a mother and that is one of the best things in life.. telling your parents is nerve recking.. but you've gotta do it.. look for an OB GYN that your insurance covers.. if you don't have insurace then look for some.. you'll need.. after getting all of that behind you.. take some time out to plan for this baby.. start thinking of a name.. and somethings you'd like for this baby to have.. don't let this stress you out.. you'll always have people that are here to help.

I am 33 weeks and it never really seemed real for me until I seen my baby during my first ultra sound. so hang in there you will love it soon it takes time to sink in as for your family tell them when you are around three months that's what I did and at first some people were upset but you know what they all came around and the ones who hated the idea are planning my baby shower. You need not worry just take care of yourself and get lots of rest and talk to your doctor if you have to much stress they will help you get through the rough part congrats and good luck to you and your baby.

You should just tell your parents. They are going to find out sooner or later anyways. I am 21 y/o and work on a Labor and Delivery Deck. I have seen many girls your age and some younger come in and I'm telling you it will be a lot easier with your parents support. I don't know your parents or how they will react, but if they support you it will be easier on you. If it takes a turn for the worst and they are so mad they don't want anything to do with your pregnancy then you will have to make it work somehow but atleast you wont be stressing about them finding out.

ok i was 17 when i became pregnant with my first child i went ahead and told my parents i just got to the point that I'm not a little girl no more and i made the choice to have sex now i have to deal with the responsibility and of course we had problems but they got over it now i have 3 wonderful kids and wouldn't change it for the world just some things you need to know if you don't already I'm not sure if they offer this where you are at but call your local health department sign up for WIC then look in the blue pages for medicaid and sign up for that so just in case your parents ask how you are going to afford this you can tell them you have medicaid insurance that will cover the pregnancy appts and delivery and wic will cover formula i hope that helps i

For the sake of your unborn child, if you are absolutely certain you are pregnant, then talk it over with the biological father of the child. Make plans to get married. As a matter of fact, go get a marriage license tomorrow. Tell your mother straight up and have her and your "fiance" go with you to see a doctor and get everything checked out, again for the sake of the baby. If you favorably resolve the health of you, your fiance, and your baby, along with the fact that the child will be born after you are married, your father can be convinced that his grandchild will be the best thing ever for your family. Your mother will help! Make sure marriage is in the mix, or you father will not be happy about this event. . . ever!

I know its hard to tell your parents but the best thing to do is go ahead and do it now. Simply because the longer you wait the worse off it will be. They will find out anyway. They will be upset at first but they will eventually get over it. You need to give them time though and not get upset with them..let them heal in their own time. Also congrats..being pregnant is not a bad thing. It will be hard, however you can do it. There are tons of women out there who do it everyday, some even younger than you are. There are centers out there who will help you out as well. When you go to your doc. talk with them about it and they will also provide you with helpful information as well. You can also go to www.babycenter.com and get tons of helpful info. Well I hope that everything works out well for you!
