what do i do?

Question

i'm haven a baby and i'm only 16 what do i do

Answer 1

Do your best to take care of it...get a job and find a babysitter...get an abortion, if that's what you want ((I wouldn't)) or give it up for adoption once it's born.

Answer 2

The question you need to ask your self is what can you do?

Can you have an abortion or is it too late?
Do your parents know about this yet?
Can you give the baby up for adoption?

Think about what is best for you and your baby. If you decide to keep the baby I suggest that you try and continue your education it will be important in finding a good job to take care of you and your little one.

Answer 3

thats a wide range question first you need to get your stuff together NO partying start buying little things and saving up for big things Once Opun a child is a great place for second hand items in great condition be prepared to be totally unselfies you are no longer one but two and when that baby comes she/he will need you more than you can image You will be #1 in her/his eyes, It will come to you as a second instinct. The book What to do when Your Expecting is the best book I ever had they also have one for when the baby is born What to do the First year easy reading but everything you need and want to know or ask I was 17 and its not easy but its not hard either and the most rewarding thing you could ever imagine but the most life changing thing no more hangin out doing thing on the spir of the moment, you still can but not like before ,you have better things to worry and take care of now with that question there is soooo much I could say but I'll leave it like that feel free to ask anything I've been there not to long ago and know what it is like and what your about to go though and it can be scary but you can do it

Answer 4

My mother was only 16 when she had my brother. Yes it changed her life. She doesn't regret it for a moment though. It was tough. For her though this was 50 years ago before all the information on sex was available. She didn't know what the consequences of sex could be, nor did she have all the available help. I think that you knew what could happen when you became sexually active and you need to accept the results. The good thing is there are lots of people to talk to that can help get you through this. Not just you but your partner as well. He needs to know and hopefully will help.
I am not saying its a bad thing or pointing a finger this could be something that was meant to be. Now you have to become a grown up fast. Care for yourself, prepare for the baby and seek out who your help will be. Your parents, your grandparents, God parents. People that can help you through your pregnancy before and after. Will the father be around to accept his part in this? See who can help care for the baby so you can finish school. If you can't get to college right away that isn't so bad but you NEED your highschool diploma.
I wish you all the best in what happens in your future. There is a lot to think about. Take care of yourself.

Answer 5

First off, tell your parents or family member. You need to see a doctor, not only for your health but also the baby. You also need to tell the father of the child, regardless of how he reacts - he has the right to know. Secondly, you need to research your options, really think about what you want your future to be like. Do you want to go to college, etc. Do you want to keep the baby or put it up for adoption. Discuss your options with your parents and ask for help if you need it. If you choose to keep the baby, your life will be very different from your peers, but not every ones life goes the way we plan either.
Best of luck to you!

Answer 6

I hear abortion and think about would you have wanted someone to kill you and not give you the opportunity to live? Having a baby is a tough responsibility and if adoption is an option why not.. U have an adopted child whom I love and treasure as my own, but the first two years of her life were hell. She still has some memory of what she went through going from foster home to foster home. Till this day she wonders why her bio. mom left her. As an adoptive parent dealing with this is tough, to see her eyes watery kills me, but allow this baby to live, allow someone else to give it love, attention, story times, ice cream dates and everything else. Don't kill your baby!!! On the other hand my younger sister 17 is pregnant and we just found out. My parents were upset, but at the end of the day we as a family will be there to support her. She will finish school and attend college and take advantage of the scholarship she has. In the meantime all of us will help her through it, we know how much of a miracle a baby is and to kill it would not be fair, we might as well be in jail with the rest of the criminals out there. Be true and honest to yourself, communicate with your family and hopefully they will support you. Finish school that is the best reward you can give your self and that baby if you plan to keep it.

Answer 7

Are you still with the father? Did you already made the choice between keeping the baby or abortion? If people really support you with the desicion keeping the baby, then you should. But if you get no support, it's maybe better to finish school first. I know it sounds harsh, but make a good choice. Good luck!

Answer 8

beyond having the baby and keeping it, and having an abortion have you considered an open adoption ? this is where you are involved in choosing the parents for your child. at sixteen you already know you have done something you shouldn't but need to know now what next to do next. having a child at this young age takes more than cute clothes and at sixteen i don't think you can provide the financial, emotional, stability and security a child needs.
PLEASE talk to a counselor at school, or clinic nurse-doctor or your parents, (trusted adults guardian)
this is a BIG LIFE CHANGING DECISION , JUST REMEMBER YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.

Answer 9

Have the baby. Its not the baby's fault you could keep you legs closes And after you have the baby if you don't want him you could give it for adoption. But if you where a big girl to open your legs be a big girl on taking responsibilities. That was life is all about.

Answer 10

Yell at your parents for not raising your right...And Kiss your youth and life goodbye....It's ok though...because they say if you never have had fun then you don't really know what your missing. Just be responsible and make sure it doesn't happen again. And Find a way to stay in school!!! You need to educate yourself so that you set a better example for your daughter then your parents did for you.

Answer 11

Do what you can to take the best care of your baby. Your local planned parenhood can help you with insurance, adoption or any other situation you need help with. Even if they don't do the service that you need they can point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
