First thing is first talk to your parents, you need to go to the doctor to find out roughly how far along you are. You also need to tell the father. i know that this will be hard but either way he has a right to know. Talk it over with your family and see what would be best for all involved. Raising the baby on your own, or giving the baby up for adoption. I don't believe that you should have an abortion, but that is ultimately your choice. I know that there are many couples who can't have children and are wanting to adopt. There are open as well as closed adoptions. You could be as involved in the child's life as much as you want. But this isn't just your decision it is yours and the fathers. Just remeber that as long as you have a good support system you will be fine. Good luck.

I think the thing you need to do is accept the fact that you're pregnant and make a firm decision to be the best Mom you can be. It doesn't matter to this baby whether your 18 or 38 or if you just met the guy or have been married 15 years. This baby needs you to be a great Mom. You have 8 months to figure out the financials. Get yourself emotionally ready. Take parenting classes. Look into WIC and other agencies that can help as well. You can do this if you want to. Best of luck!

Find out how long you've been pregnant. And decide, do you want to take care of the child all through college?, or if you want to give the baby up for adoption. That's going to be a tough decision for you. But the choice is yours.
I hope it all works out for you!
Oh, and I suggest you dump that guy. He's now responsible as a Father, so Best of Luck!

No matter what anybody says, this is your decision!! If your not sure, I would like to suggest that you go to a pro choice clinic like Planned Parent Hood you can find out how far along you are and make sure everthing is ok. They also have concealers there for you to talk with about your options. No matter what it will be a hard decision! Good luck I wish you the best!

Really, If you are not ready to parent, And neither is he, ANd you have only been together for a few months, Have you ever considered open adoption. I was 15 when I got pregnant, Gave him up for adoption, I still see him and everything, I twas the best thing I have done. It was hard at first, But then you know its for the best. there are sooo many people out there that are trying to have kids but can't. Adoption is wonderful. Trust me

I applaud your decision to keep your baby. It is a courageous and loving decision. Congratulations.
May I recommend that you visit your local pregnancy resource center? They have free pregnancy testing, can date the age of your baby and they can provide support for young moms or help them contact agencies that do (even after birth). They do not provide nor refer for abortions, but they do have information about current abortion procedures. They also have information about adoption, which isn't the same as it used to in the 50's and therefore gets thought of today. Anyway, you can find your local center by typing in your information at this website: www.pregnancycenters.org.
God bless you and your baby! I hope everything turns out okay. I will keep you both and your boyfriend in my prayers!

Discuss your options with a doctor or counselor. Contact a local family planning and they will prove to be very helpful. You have to realize that this is a very big commitment (I'm 23 years old and expecting and I'm scared to death too!), emotionally and financially. If you keep the child, are you willing to raise him alone if the father leaves? Will you be able to continue your schooling and take care of your child? What will you do about expenses? There are many things to consider, and while you might consider abortion as "killing" a living thing, would you want that baby to suffer if you cannot provide for him/her fully? There is also the option of adoption, but if you're determined to raise the baby yourself, realize the challenges and obstacles you will face.

It is really up to you if you want to have an abortion or not, in my opinion you shouldn't have an abortion. If you do not want the baby you can always look into adoption. You can go to the health clinic in your city and they will do a pregnancy test for you to see how far along you are. You don't have to be 18 to get a pregnancy test done there. Good luck!

i'm glad that you arent one of those selfish teenagers who think that they can handle it, and are looking at all the options. they do have adoption that i would look at if i were you. you do have the option for open adoption too (know a few people whom have gone through that). and you can be really involved in the childs life, just they will be raised by someone else. but will know you and know what is going on pretty much, all that i have known who have done that never regretted it like many people who do go through adoption, because they can see and contact the child still. glad you aren't considering abortion (i'm WAY against it...). i wish you the best of luck, and if you want you can check out this website:http://www.openadoption.org....
i know that having a child (i actually have twins) is A LOT of hard work... i'm 21 and i get a lot of people saying that i'm too young, ect ect... but would never give my lil ones up. i love them to death but dont know how i would do it if i was younger, and on my own (the father and i are married). if you need any help please dont hesitate to email me or add me to your myspace if you have one... i know almost everyone does lol www.myspace.com/ricleigh . its going to be hard and if you need some advice or someone to talk to, please email me... its nice to see someone looking at the options!!!

If you feel that you can't raise a child, but you don't want to cause harm to the child, consider adoption as an alternative. There are thousands of loving couples out there who would love to give a child a home. Try your local women's clinic for more information, or check the Internet for agencies in your area.
