Answer 1

You are an adult now and made adult choices to have sex. Be an adult and tell your mom. Tell her you think you may be and do not know what to do. Or you can go to the store and buy a test and find out yourself. You are still young and your body is still growing, you may just be a little late thats all. Right now it may be to early to have any real signs. The first is no peirod haha the next...your boobs may get a little sore...you may start to see blue veins in your chest & boobs more than you used to...SOme ppl will get a line from the middle of their boobs and they way *down there* a light brown line...you may feel sick at all times of the day not just the AM...some foods may make you want to be sick..you may be moody..but some ladies have no sign at all sometimes. It just depends on how far along you are and your body type. Take a pee test...then worry about the baby if you are preg. Its really not that bad, I had my first at 19 and did just fine. If you are...get WIC then find a DSHS office to get free medical asap. Dont worry! I have 2 kids..its really great...hard but totally worth it. Feel free to email me if you have questions!

Answer 2

Just take the test. You don't usually know the signs of pregnancy unless you have been pregnant before and even then it's not always the same the next time around.

If you are pregnant, you need to look at your situation and make a decision, you have options and it all depends on what you are willing to do. Are you willing to give up your life as you know it and raise a child? Are you willing to carry the child and put it up for adoption and deal with that so the child can be raised by a family who is prepared and truly wants a child? Would you rather abort and deal with that and keep it a secret to your mom? Just consider that the child is a life and if you aren't ready, you aren't ready and you are in control of what happens to you and the child and maybe even giving a couple the child they always wanted but couldn't have themselves. Everything happens for a reason...you may not be pregnant and this is an awakening to being more careful, or you are and you just may be strong enough to care for a child correctly and still make a life for yourself or there is a couple just dying to have a baby and can't. There are always couples wanting babies so if you are pregnant and can't keep the child, rest assured that there is a couple waiting to find a baby. Best wishes.

some signs are of course missed period, sore breast, vomiting or feeling like you want to, very tired. Some say urinating a lot but i never experienced that until late in pregnancy when baby was on my bladder. I was an 18 year old mom and my mother welcomed me with open arms, but i was also married and lived on my own. You have the option of keeping baby, abortion, or adoption. That all lies on your shoulder especially since your are of legal age. Definately tell your mom, take a pregnancy test first and then go from there. Dont stress out there is always clinics that outreach to teenage parents and who knows your mom may support you in your decisions the best she can and not get mad. If your birthday is not within the next 9 months yes u will be 18.

It will be a shock but your her daughter and I'm sure she will come around and support you. While it is tough being a young mum ( I was at 19) it isn't the end of your life or does it mean you won't amount to anything. I remember people telling me my life was over and I had ruined it. Now I'm the one laughing because I own a house, have a husband, get paid more than they do and I have 2 beautiful kids who have been by my side every step of the way. My life has turned out better than thiers.

The signs differ for everyone during pregnancy but I had cramps, sore breasts and that's about it at the stage your at. If you are pregnant, you need to remember it's a huge adjustment. Everything you do will somehow effect your baby so life becomes alot more stressful, and expensive. Kids aren't cheap. Personally tho, becoming a mum gave my life meaning and direction. I wouldn't change it for the world!!

Answer 5

First, breath. It is far from the end of the world. You are an adult. Until the last hundred years (and still in most parts of the world) women have been having babies at your age. Decide what you want based upon your beliefs, and go for it.
Biological age is not what counts here, it is your level of maturity. If you want it then you can have it and a happy life. School may be delayed a bit till the little one is older, but life still goes on.
You are young, anything can happen! It is not your situation that will make or break you, but your attitude!

Answer 6

first make sure. if you are not,there is no need in getting your mom upset. and now would be a good time to take precuations to not become pregnate.if you are,you tell your mom. most parents do not react the way a child expects.she would be a big help if you are to become a young mother.just be the best mom you can,nobody is experianced with thier first baby weither they are 18 or 38.its not that hard to adjust.just remeber to finish your education,and make choices depending on whats ethical,whats right,not convient.if you ARE NOT IN THE POSITION TO CARE FOR AN INFANT THERE ARE HUNDEREDS OF PEOPLE WHO WANT A BABY,i think you will be fine.good luck.

Answer 7

take a test, first, before you bring all of that into it. numerous things can delay a period. including, sad to say, worry and stress that you are pregnant! and it's really too early for signs, although a few women feel sick even this early.
in the meantime, if you find out you are not pregnant, you can just be more careful in your sexual relationship, and in the meantime, work on your relationship with your mom, so that you guys can be a little more open with each other, so that she realizes you are adult now, with adult issues. (this is a radical thing to accept, i know from experience. for some reason, parents want to keep their kids young...ish)
now, if you find out you are pregnant, it is time for a crash course in opening up that relationship with your mom. dealing with it as soon as possible cuts down on the stress of "what if" worries, and gives her a chance to act like the mom i'm sure she wants to act like. this includes freaking out, yelling, crying, blaming herself, realizing she's a grandmother, and any number of other possibly unpleasant responses i've heard people have.
no matter what her initial responses, she is always trying to be the best mom she could be, in any circumstance.

Answer 8

Go buy you a pregnancy test. the signs are different for everyone some have them some dont. Noone can tell you what to do it is something that you need to think about, I was 18 when i got pregnant and i was scared to death to tell my mom but i did she was upset but there isnt really anything she can do but to support you on your decision. But after awhile she came around and it happened to be her first grandson and she spoiled him. No moms dont want there girls to get pregnant at a young age it will probably upset her but hopefully she will come around. Good Luck

Answer 9

please don't get yourself to worked up. your mother will love you and nuture you as you are her child. i come from a very strick family i am 27 now but i remember the day my sister came home and told my parents she had made a mistake and needed help to my amazement my parents took her under the caring wings a nd helped her. she not long after lost her baby. parents are not that bad a bit of advice if you are pregnant don;t go to your mum with your guard up and have an arguement about it. tell her what has happened and that you need her HELP believe me in a time like this any mother will always help her child. your mother would be more hurt if you didn't seek her help.

Answer 10

Guess what?Your 18!You are an adult by law.Maybe you sould have valued what your mother would think of you havning a baby before you had sex.Take a pergnancy test asap.Itf its neg take one again in a few days.Can't handle having a baby right now?Adoption is the best choice.Be safe,get on birthcontrol and use condoms.
