I found out I was pregnant when I was four weeks along. I was unbelievably scared at first, but I knew that the best thing I could do was to tell my parents first. I was too afraid to have a sit-down family discussion, so I just told my mom really quietly one night. She told my dad. That was the right thing to do because I needed to make an appointment at the hospital to check if the baby was developing correctly.
Then I told my closest friends. I only told five friends, my most trustworthy friends that had seen me at my worst. Then I had to tell my boyfriend. He was absolutely furious. He broke up with me right then and there.
At six weeks, I found out I was having twins. That's when all the rumors began. (Started by my dearest darling ex-boyfriend.)
I wish you the best of luck! Stay strong. :)

Would it ruin your life?
No!
having a baby is a really positive thing. i thought when i got pregnant at 18 i would totally ruin my life, i would never be happy again and i should just get rid!
My baby is now 2 years old, he is my world, my everything, he is just starting to talk, and i would not of got rid of him for the world. I dont feel i am missing out on anything - mind you i do have 10 GCSE's and and NVQ in business administration so i have something behind me, BUT you could do your GCSE's again, or depending when your baby is due, do them now whilst your pregnant, there are so many options now for young teen mothers
If you do have an abortion you will always wonder about the child that could of eben
and as for telling your parents, they might seem a little shocked, d"disapointed" etc etc but im sure they would wanna help you and see you through this. If you keep the baby, they will find out in the end! and as for the father, yeah you need to tell him as he has rights. and if he is older and working, he can support you!
Good Luck in whatever you decide to do, whatever you do, it has to be right for you!

I am pregnant and 18. It was definitely...a surprise. If you're pregnant, you NEED to tell you parents so they can give you the emotional and financial support you need (you sound young), and also take you to the doctor so you and your baby will be healthy. They may be mad at first but in the end they will support you and love that little baby. And remember it's not that they hate you or anything...they just had different plans in mind for you. They'll get over it. As far as telling the father...OMG YES!!! If he's your boyfriend or a friend, he may be great support for you. If not, he still helped make the baby, so he should be in its life and pay you child support. Good luck!

Yes the best thing to do if you are 100% sure that you are pregnant is tell your parents they are the ones that can help you the most and it will make you feel better and more secure. Specially is going to make you happy for you and your baby because that is what you need. I know that it can be hard but you need to take responsability for your actions.You should always know that having sex can have a consequesce of getting pregnant. It has happend to a lot of people and personal it happended to me. The sad thing is that they knew because i had a miscarriage and i had to tell them. My mom was very dad and my sisters because they were also dissapointed of me but they forgave me because they love me and now I'm married with the same guy and we are very happy. Right now I'm 16 weeks pregnant and my mom is one of the most happy and excited person because she is going to be e grandmother. Well, you did what you did now if they don't accept you then you have to be a mature person and take care of your baby because that is a gift from God.

I know someone who fell pregnant in their last year at secondary school, and went into labour durring the exams. The school were really good and spported her. They let her have her own room to sit exams so that if anything did happen durring the exam, they could act upon it, and as I said dhe went into labour. Now, 8 years on, her and her then boyfriend are married and have a total of 4 children together at age 24/25. So happy endings do happen, just follow your heart. Tell your parents that you angaged in sexual intercourse and are now pregnant. Tell them that although you know that they may not approve, its done. Speaking to your parents and partner will help you decide on the actions to follow. (weither you choose abortion or to have this child)
I wish you well, I just wanted you to know its not all doom and gloom just cos your 15.

Yes you have to tell your parents, You will need their love and support, and financial support.
Yes it is the fathers right to know he has a baby on the way. Its his choice what he wants to do after that. But if he chooses not to be part of the babies life, he still has a responsibility to the child.
However you need to decide a life plan for yourself as well. Its not just the fathers job to support the child you OWE your child 50% of its upkeep as well.

Of course you should. They're going to find out sooner or later anyway. So, get it over with early so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Stress isn't good for the baby. Then you can shift all your focus to preparing for the birth. Although it's not ideal to have children at such a young age, a baby is ALWAYS a blessing and hopefully your family and boyfriend will also see that. Good luck and congrats!

oh my.....I am 22 and married but being pregnant is the hardest thing in the world to deal with. My mom lives 8 hours away and it is super hard not having her here to tell me what is going on. I would recomend telling your parents. You will need the support. You should tell the father to. He was there when it happend and he needs to be there all the way. Hope this helps.

Go and see a doctor and they will give you all the information and support you need and will tell you the best places to get help and support emotionally and financially, then you can make an informed descision. Plus tell your parents, give the father the oppourtunity to be responsible for his actions, if he doesnt want to be involved dont fret too much over it. It's not worth it.x
