If you're gonna do the "morning after" pill, you'd better do it soon...I'm not sure it would even work at this point. It's supposed to be taken the morning after you have sex, not after you've tested positive as pregnant.
Please consider giving your child up for adoption. It sounds as if you're not ready to be a mother, and I can't tell you that I believe aborting it is the right thing to do.
Yes, I have felt the same. I was 16 when my daughter was born. There are many, many people in your situation. Check your local phone book, or possibly your local clinic's bulletin board for groups that you can join. It will help a lot if you can be with others who truly understand what you're going thru. A good support network will be critical for you, regardless of what decision you make.

You only have 72 hours to take that pill after you had sex then it is to late. If it isnt to late for that then that is a choice it isnt abortion ethier. Its called plan B and you can get it at the health dept.
Im 17 and 39 weeks preg.
My situation is a little different then your, but all i can tell you is think of your future and if you are cable of doing it. I mean, will you be able to finish school okay? You wouldnt really have to worry so much money wise because the state usually gives you a medicare card which pays for docter appointments and stuff.
You would be suprised the help you would get by family when you expect the worse it really isnt that bad. My aunt is helping me babysit a couple weeks after i have my baby so i can graduate family i never expected them to help me at all!
It isnt impossible to raise a baby at 17 and you would have lots of help and you would be alone. You have family and friends and then you would have your baby.
I dont believe in abortion unless a person was raped or was having a baby with some kind of problem. They are a lot to them abortions they dont tell you like you may become infertile or even get an infection.
No one can make this choice but you. Talk to your parents and the babys daddy before you do anything serious if it is past 72 hours.

heeeeyyy!!!!! relaxxxxxxxxx!
for the tone of your question you seem to be a very angry and desperate girl...
this is not the end of the road for you... instead it is a new and better beggining...
Yes, you are pregnant now! but like another person answered... DO THE RIGHT THING!.
It seems that you had been doing the things not very correctly... so take it like a woman, girl... be brave and corageous... don't be angry.
In the other hand... you are not alone... God is always there for you, no matter what have you done, he's always there... beside you will have your son or doughter... he/she'll never be a burden, but a blessing... you want more??? come on girl... you live in America!!!... this country has a lot of institutions, from the gov and from the people that will help you just for help... there's the church too... go to church... have a relation with God, have peace, have love for that lil human being inside of you... relax and rest in God.
God Bless you... Don't kill the baby.

Hi, well i am pregnant right now..22 weeks and i will have baby boy. The difference is that i am a bit older than you but that doesn't really matter. I am in the same situation, it is hard but think about it you can get help talk to your doctor about it there is always a way to do it. God will help you. There are places for single mothers where you can get so much help. Think about your future and about your life. For me this baby will be a reason to move on , a reason to fight and give him everything. Now its up to you..I will never do an abortion. I had to drop out of school, college( police foundations) but still i know that school will be there even after i have the baby. Think about it...from now its you and the baby nobody else! Good Luck !

Hi,
I’m a teen too, so I can imagine what you must be going through. First of all, no matter what anyone tells you, you’re really better off not going on the pill or having an abortion. It might make you unable to have children ever again, or get a disease, and it causes severe depression (I know people who have had abortions, used the pill, and so forth, and that’s what happened to them -one girl tried to kill herself, even). There are lots of organizations that can help you, though. Like crisis pregnancy center. Also, do talk to your parents. They might be upset with you, but it’ll be better in the long run. I just heard of a girl who had an abortion and didn’t tell her parents, and she died of the infection because her parents never knew what was making her sick. So, I really suggest telling them.
On the flip side, I also heard of a girl who gave her baby up for adoption, and now the baby is a grown up woman and the two met and are really happy to know each other and are really close.
Anyway, speak to some close friends, too. I’m sure you’ll find support. I’m really sorry that you’re feeling alone! Whatever you do, don‘t feel guilty, though. People just make mistakes, and you‘re not really alone. I’ll pray that you find someone you can trust who will help you feel less alone. But, trust me, you’ll feel better if you don’t have an abortion. You’ll see that a beautiful, new life, one that is completely unique and will never be seen again, comes out of all the fear and worry you’re going through right now, and that will help. There are a lot of families who would love to have a baby, but just can’t, and would gladly take your baby in. Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. I know some really wonderful girls who were in situations just like yours, and now they’re just fine.
Here are some links you might find helpful: http://www.pregnancycenters.org/

I’ll keep you in my prayers!

Honey you are late for the pill already you had to take it the next morning. You should be scared when I found out I was pregnant I was scared out of my mind Im still are and Im married and we planned it but its normal to be scared, Im sure you have a family that will support you and you wont be alone. You should keep it but, things happen for a reason, once you have the baby you will never be alone again untill he goes off to college or gets married, babies are the most wonderful gift from God they will love you like nobody does so think about it, I dont know how far along you are but remember abortions are surgeries that you dont need and might regret forever. If you need help you can email me

Hi there I've felt exactly how you are feeling! I had my first baby at 18 and I thought for sure that the all good things must come to an end..as far as the man in my life was concerned! But turns out that we have now been together for 7 years and I'm now pregnant with our 3rd child! My man has been my husband for 4 years and treats me like an absolute princess..I know my story may seem like a one in a million to someone your age who is so scared! But there are 13 and 14 year olds out there going through what you are going through..and as long as you are happy & healthy & have a supportive family who loves you..all will be fine!! Somehow you will figure out what to do just listen to your heart and not others around you!...GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS..any questions don't hesitate to contact me!!

I got pregnant when I was 18 and only made $500 a month. I was with my boyfriend (now husband) and we were both starting college and couldn't afford the baby. I didn't want to give it up for an adoption but I couldn't have the baby either. I had an abortion. Everyday I am glad I did it. I do feel guilty but my life is far better now. I have a great career, nice home and I am now pregnant with my first child and I am 25. I know my life and my Husband's life is better because I made that tough decision. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I think you can only get the "abortion pill" within a certain amount of time. Otherwise you'll need to go to a clinic or hospital, as long as you decide before you're 13 weeks along. Speak to a doctor about your options.
Look at your situation closely and ask questions. Have you finished school? Do you plan to go to college? Do you have an income that will allow you to take care of a child? Will you have the support of your family? You have to take a lot of things into consideration. Best wishes!

i think it may be too late for emergency contreceptive.....but if the abortion pill is available where you are....then you may want to consider it as an option. but keep in mind you do have other options.
you can keep the baby, work really hard and support yourself and your baby. people still manage to have a baby, go to school, work a part-time job and provide for a small family. how they do this i have no idea, but it has been done before.
then you have the adoption choice, you can go into a pregnancy home (which i recommend if you do decide adoption) that will support you and help you find a family to take and love the baby.
