You need to talk with your parents. From that point discuss what your next steps are going to be based on some realistic choices. I know there will be emotional choices in there too. Hopefully your parents will be supportive and helpful as you work through the issues before you and the pregnancy. Also what you are going to do about finishing high school and any plans for continuing education beyond high school.

Just from an 'older' gal's perspective, where is boy friend in this picture? Has he committed to care, feeding, support, etc. for you keeping the baby? If so, it should be "we" not "I". You are both very young so this may end up being more then one or both of you can handle in the long run. I know couples that have and 20 years later are still going strong but they are the exception.

Best of luck to you no matter what you decide. Just make sure it is your decision and something that you can live with. Blessings.

You really need to tell your mom and dad because you really need to see a doctor and I do not think you can see a doctor without a parent being with you. It is very important you see a doctor while pregnant every few weeks to make sure you and the baby are healthy and everything is going okay with the pregnancy.

If you want to keep it then good for you, being 16 and having a baby is not the end of the world, I know because I had a baby at 16 and am now 19 and in college. It can make things difficult but it will not ruin anything.

The worse thing that could happen is you get kicked out in which you can go to a pregnancy home for teens and they have a GED program for you and some allow transportation so you can still attend actual school.

You first talk with your parents. They will be your best support although they will be very upset at first. Second of all you tell his parents. You two made the decision to make this baby so you have affected a minimum of 7 lives (you and your b/f, his parents, your parents, AND the baby). You will basically have 2 choices- - keep the child or put it up for adoption. Abortion is murder and should NEVER be considered because of the emotional complications it would cause you and your b/f. Your b/f is going to have to be ready to take on the financial responsibilities if you keep the child.

You need to stay in school and graduate. Again this is a decision you and your parents will make.

Then you will have a thousand other decisions to make. Get a strong support group around you and get professional counseling as well. You will need it.

Good luck.

You should definately tell your parents. Alot of girls get caught up in the whole idea that their parents will be upset and go through the pregnancy alone only because they don't know what else to do. You need to sit down with your parents tell them that you are pregnant and tell them you need their support in whatever it is that you decide to do. Make the decision that's right for you, not tha decision that is right for anyone else.

You can also visit www.babycenter.com You can sign up for a weekly newsletter that tells you what you can expect, what changes your body is making and what changes your baby is goign through, how big it could be, and things that are developing. You can also sign up to chat live with other teens that are pregnant as well. Maybe they can give you some more advice on telling your parents. It's just very important that you tell them no matter how afraid you may be! Get a family friend to sit with you while you tell them.

Hope this helps and good luck!

YES!!! Keep the baby! I was 16 when I got pregnant with my son and I wouldn't trade him for the world. It is hard to be a teenage mother but being a mom is the greatest thing in the world! If you are worried about your parents response then wait till after your 16th week of pregnancy to tell them. At that point you can no longer get an abortion. Abortion is a bad thing and just think of it as killing a child. It's cruel. I am now 19 and I am 8 1/2 months pregnant with my second child! So, please keep the baby and congrats!!!

Keep it. Imagine how happy the person will be to know that you decided to let her have a life. You should tell your parents, if you don't it will hang over your head for the rest of your life in your relationship with them. You will probably feel eternally guilty. I know a girl who had an abortion without telling her parents and she is almost suicidal now because she feels so horrible for taking the babies possible life. Just be brave. I don't recommend that you marry your boyfriend even if you are pressured to. If he is immature enough to risk pregnancy then he is not ready to be a husband. I suppose that you should just do what you really think is right. If you are religious, pray a lot. God will be there for you when no one else is. Good luck.

I don't believe in abortion but you should have thought about that before you decided to make an adult decision and have sex at a young age. Young people just don't realize what life has to offer! You are still a kid having a kid. Everything changes after a baby. Your life will be on hold. No going away to college, usually no prom night etc. Remember that just because there is a baby doesn't mean your boyfriend will stay. He can leave but you will always have that baby. The percentage is high on young people that have babies end up being single parents. Good luck on your decision. Always use protection at your age if you aren't going to practice abstinence. I work in the health field and see alot of young people with STD's. Not to mention cervical cancer on girls who have sex too early as the cells are not mature.But be sure you talk with your parents on anything you decide. Adoption is also something to think about. Ther are alot of people who want babies and can't make them.

No one could possibly decide for you whether or not to keep it. You need to tell your parents as soon as possible, like right now.
You could keep it, I know a 14 year old thats having a little girl right now and has the support of her mother, but not her ex boyfriend. She's just fine.
If you get the support of your parents and you have the support of your boyfriend then your off to a great start! If you wanted you could even get married at 16!
I wish you all the best.

Please remember this is a child! Dont believe the modern beliefs that its just a blob. You will regret it all your life.
Do you have a church you are associated with? If its very big they probably have program to help you . If not , at least go to a minister for guidance.He & is wife can help you get financial help & when you r ready to break the news to your parents.
Dont make the mistake my daughter made. She got rid of her baby . She was lied to though the process of the murder & was told her baby was not human. she was sick & she has all kind of phycological problems. Shes still messed up & has to take meds. She cried & cried because of the guilt.
You SHOULD consider your boyfriends feelings. Does he want the baby? Even if you doesnt want it dont you know how many couples are out here wanting to help you & adopt you baby? I f you dont want to adopt it . There are a lot of programs out there to help single mothers.
The very best experiences Ive had in this world have been the beautiful love with my babies. Nothing else but God Himself can compare to this love!
If you cant think of the child, think of your future . One day you may want a child & then You may not be able to because remember the murder/abortion process damages a lot of girls bodies where they can never have a baby again.
Think about It ! You will have to answer to that child one day for what your choice is. I will pray for you & feel free to e-mail me if you need someone to talk to.

I have more experience with this than I care to admit. You are only sixteen years old. The best thing to do is to tell your parents and give the child up for adoption. You will regret having an abortion, and your life will be made very very difficult if you try to raise this child yourself. There is no shame in giving your baby to a loving mother and father with the means necessary to raise it. DO NOT MAKE A DECISION ASSUMING YOUR BOYFRIEND WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE, they never stay.
