Just keep yourself calm honey, and don't get too stressed out. If your family and boyfriend know, and they support you, it will help you out a lot through your pregnancy. Don't be afraid to ask questions, or ask for advice about anything. If you don't ask, you won't know, and it will just eat away at you. It's okay for you to be scared - you're young and having a child. Just don't hold anything back - if you need to talk to someone, talk. If you have a question, ask. It will help more than you think in the long run.
Congrats, and good luck to you!

The most important thing for you to do is finish school. It's going to be very hard for you but if you get your priorities straight you can do it. I had a baby when I was 15 and my son was born with a birth defect. Its' so so hard. I can't even tell you. I hope you have the support of your family, you will need it. It might be harder if you guys decide to get married right away. It's hard enough with a baby and when you throw in all the other issues that being married invovles, it will be hard. In fact, statistics ahow that you will fail. take it slow...if you guys are truly in love and care about your baby then take it slow. Get your education. If you can live at home and finish school and go to college then you will be so much better off in the end. Anytime you have money problems, not many relationships can survive. Talk to your parents and ask them what hardships they had in regards to marraige and having kids. Learn from what they tell you. Think about what you want to do. There's so much involved but you can do it, if you try hard.I hope you start to feel better and remember just do the best you can. baout the pregnancy, go to the library and read some books on preganacy. It will be better if you know what to expect.

First of all, you should be seeing a counselor to help you through this. Your high school counselor can probably help you, and maybe refer you to some other resources. You need to identify what you are scared of, exactly. Supporting the child financially? Supporting yourself and completing school? Raising a healthy, happy child when you yourself are not quite raised? All valid reasons to be scared. But all of those questions have an answer, and you are most definitely not the first person in this situation. You are in a very difficult situation, but it's not the end of the world, it's just going to be a different world. You are going to face some difficult situations, but getting professional counseling will give you the tools to deal with them. That and support from your family. Good luck to you and your baby!

Being scared is normal. You are very young. If you are not ready for parenthood, you are not alone. Most 16 year old girls are not ready to be mothers. I would recommend that you consider placing the baby for adoption. There are many people who would love the opportunity to raise this child. I am adopted and I have three children who are adopted. Adoption is a selfless wonderful way God puts families together.

well you are young, a baby is alot of responsibility and time and effort. but you were old enough to have sex and know the concequences. if you asked before i would have said wait till you are at least out of school. but you two put yourselves in this situation you have to get out of it. i am 21 my son is almost 8 months i got pregnant at 19 and labour and pregnancy was hard for me gettting sick everyday, nausea, pretty much bed rest. and then 40 hours of false labour 111/2 hours of labour 39 min of pushing..and then so far 8 months of teaching and loving. its hard

The best advice I can give you is to trust your parents. I'm sure they love you and will help you as much as they can. Whether you decide to keep the baby or put it up for adoption, I'm sure that they will help you make whatever choice is best for you. Trust your parents.
Good luck with everything.
