I'm 15 and pregnant, what should I do?

Question

I'm pregnant and my parents have kicked me out of home. The father doesn't want any contact with the baby so i am basically left all on my own. What should I do? please help

Answer 1

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NAT HAVE AN ABORTION. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. MAYBE YOU CAN TRY TALKING TO YOUR PARENTS, OR EVEN THE DADS PARENTS. IF NONE OF THESE WORK, U HAVE TO BECOME A WOMAN VERY FAST AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY.

Answer 2

I'm exactly your age and i dont know what i would do if i got pregnant. Dont panic and think your options through.
1) abortion
2) adoption
3) keeping the baby
I really think number 3 is almost out of the question. Dont feel pressurized to keep the baby, i mean, i dont really agree with abortion, in this case; No offense my love but with all due respect, it is your fault that you're pregnant. But i am looking at this from the point of view of what would i do. I think it would be best to adopt or abort, (but abortion depends on how many weeks you are pregnant). Having a baby at this age will completely change your future, and you dont sound emotionally ready. Meanwhile, I CANT BELIEVE YOU WERE KICKED OUT! a pregnant 15 year old being kicked out by her own parents..... try staying with a relative.

By the way, i know that the guy above me is saying abortion can go horribly wrong but legal abortion is VERY safe, do not worry. There are always small chances but the large majorities are perfectly fine. But of course, there is the emotional side. Think it through.

Answer 3

First of all, your parents cannot kick you out it's against the law! Trust me, I've been through it with my family. It is really hard to raise a baby on your own but think about your future. Your education. I think that you should do what your heart tells you. I had an abortion before and I regret it. I have a son now and I think it's the best thing that happened to me. I would never do it again. But there are so many programs out there to help single mothers. Cash Aid, Food Stamps, WIC. I don't know if you herd of any of those and if the father doesn't want anything to do with you and the baby then hit him up for child support. Good luck!

Answer 4

Contact a good adoption lawyer! You're too young to raise a baby on your own. It really cuts down on your options in life. But out there somewhere (even on these boards) is a childless couple dying for a baby. They will pay your living expenses and pay for the birth of the baby and offer emotional support. In some cases, they'll let you be part of the baby's life after it is borne. THINK hard about abortion. It's a decision you'll have to live with forever. I still regret mine 30 years later. You parents are real creeps for kicking you out. Now is when you need them the most! As for the father, his behavior is common. If you need more help, email me.

Answer 5

first your parents are upset. they'll come around. as for the father of the baby leave him alone. there are millions of single mothers out here taking care of their babies on their own. find a safe place and go there and just think about what you want to do. having a baby isn't the end of the world you can still achieve anything you put your mind to. just know that it's going to be harder because you've got another person to look after but you can do it. give your parents some time and then try to talk to them. they love you and they only want the best for you. having a baby at 15 isn't what they had in mind but they just need some time.

Answer 6

Go to a relatives house or a friend's house and stay there for a while. Or call CPS and tell them that you don't have a place to stay. I'm not sure what they'll do about you being pregnant. They may put you in foster care and take the baby away when it's born if your parents won't help you out and you have no other relatives to go to.

Answer 7

I advise you to ignore everyone who is saying have an abortion, you will have a lifetime of regret from it and not to mention things can go wrong from having one such as you yourself dying or having your insides messed up to where you can no longer conceive.

My cousins ex had an abortion and a year later she was in a terrible wreck, she started bleeding from her insides and hemorrhaging real bad so they had to do surgery on her and now she can no longer have kids so she deeply regrets the abortion...You never know what is going to happen in life, 5 years down the road something bad may happen to you and you may not be able to have kids, do you want to take that chance?

You need to go to social services and they can help set you up in a pregnant moms boarding home, it is basically a big house for teens who are pregnant or have babies and have no place to go, they will help you get baby clothes and formula and take you to appointments and most have GED programs...If you feel as if you do not want to raise a child so young you can do open adoption where you still get to see the baby and get to interact with the parents who adopted it.

You should go to justmommies.com and go to the teen mommies and mommies to be forum

Answer 8

i wonder how you have a computer, but no matter. i personally think you ought to have brought that into concideration before taking any chances of becoming pregnant, but since it's something that's already been done, learn to deal with it in a good way.

you still have your whole life ahead of you, but take responsibility for what you've done in the past, too! DON"T GET RID OF THE BABY, NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!! who knows how much you'll regret it later.... i suggest to study and get into a good school. you can't do anything in life without an education nowadays, and you'll need to support your child soon enough as well as yourself. maybe get an online education program or something so you can do it at home while taking care of the baby. but before you can even get a home, i suppose there's no other choice but to go to a social helping center or something.

Answer 9

I think you should keep the baby. You will experience difficult times ahead but i'm sure you'll never regret the decision after the child is born. Though it seems that you'll have to grow up very fast and missed out on your teenage years, at the end of the day you'll manage. Don't worry about not giving the child all he/she deserves. Love and determination should be sufficient to overcome everything. At least, you were responsible and loving enough to have that child. You should not give the baby up because its not his/her fault.

Answer 10

It depends on how far along you are. Abortion? If not, you might want to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Please use protection when you have sex and you shouldn't get pregnant. I guess your parents are perfect people that never make mistakes. They should be ashamed of themselves, not you. I hope you have a friend or relative you can stay with for a while.

Answer 11

Oh you poor thing, how awful. Go to your local social services and start by asking for help there. See what support they have to give you. You didn't get pregnant on your own, you shouldn't have to deal with it on your own, but don't panic, if the father and your family won't help, somebody out there will

Good luck
