go get a blood test, they will let you know for sure if you are, then take it from there. hope this helps, good luck and try to stay positive

Regardless if you are out of high school or not, or can or can't afford the baby, First see an Obstetrician and do a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, decide if you as a potentially single 18 year old are ready for motherhood. If not, consult an adoption agency so you can get help getting through the pregnancy and then, enjoy your teenage years. Having a child is a huge job, but rewarding in the right setting. God Bless!!

First of all , tell the father of the child that u are pregnant and u intend to get child support if u both are not together.
A full time job sometimes is not enough when u talking hospital bills, baby bills, etc.
The best thing to do is to think positive, cause if u are pregnant, then it was meant to be.

You could get an abortion or arrange to adopt it. It is a woman's choice. Adoption is a more gentle approach. Maybe you just have a late period? As a single mother, you would have a really hard time working and paying for child care unless you are pretty well off and have massive family support. Pre-natal health care can be crucial so stop smoking, drinking or whatever and see a Dr. fast. and discuss your situation.
Good luck and have a Happy Holiday, whatever you decide.

You don't know yet if you are. You need to decide if this is what you want before you have unprotected sex. Sounds like you are worried so maybe your not ready. If you find out you are not pregnant get on the pill or protect yourself. You are very young you should enjoy your youth. If you find out you are pregnant then good luck MOM!

Take a pregnancy test. Talk to your parents if they get mad at first just know they will come around, especially when they see the baby! Good luck!

I'm confused. I think you're pretty confused, too--that or just full of it.
Here--http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuGQCAzVMTi067A.9LqP457sy6IX?qid=20061220115506AAsWjW2
You said that you were 18, and your NEIGHBOR was 17 and pregnant.
And here--

You said (second answer down) that you were 24weeks pregnant--in which case it would definitely not be "too soon to know for sure".
You either need to get some therapy, get off sites like this (if you're just an unoriginal troll), or sort out your issues.
Seriously, though...what happened to the funny trolls??
