Don't hide it. Don't be ashamed. Be proud. That little life that you created, and you want to hide it? You are strong enough to stay there for your baby, unlike that father who was a coward and left. He probably thought he was too "manly" for a baby or something like that. Well you know what? HE'S A COWARD. Remember that. A real man would stand up and be there for his child. Don't hide it or be ashamed. If someone is "making" you get an abortion, they can't. YOU have the parental rights because it is your child. You have to sign the papers. You are old enough to get a job, and in another year (or maybe less) you can move it. Hang in there and stay strong. You can do it.

First of all, go get a home test and go somewhere (even if a McD's) and take it. If you are prego you need to see a doctor asap to get on vitamins and get the proper care for both you and your baby. That is your biggest concern. Typically you can only hide being prego for so long (even if you don't show, the other stuff, like eating alot, moods, etc will tip someone off). I had a friend back in high school who hid her pregnancy until the time she had the baby (she was home and started to go into labor so told her mom what was going on). Now, I would not recommend that. Might as well get it over with not and save the stress (yes, it will hurt your parents, but they will help you too). It's not worth the energy and effort to hide it. Maybe if you feel uncomfortable telling them by yourself have someone with you (if you have an adult friend/family member that would be even better). Plan on a lot of tears, but they will get over it. Again, the most important thing right now is for you and the baby, and it will be harder for you to do that alone. Good luck!

Who are you hiding it from? If it is your parents then don't bother unless you know they will force you to get an abortion...then maybe for until it is too late but they still may make you give the baby up. I would consider starting to wear baggy clothes now so that as you fill out, it isn't as noticeable and watch what you are eating since the cliche of eating for two is a bunch of bull snot. You only need 300 more calories than you get daily before pregnancy. But do get some prenatal vitamins so that you can be sure that your body is getting all the stuff it does need.

you really need to talk with a trusted adult. around 6 weeks you should really be seeing the dr. for your first appt.
you may not start to show for some time being this is your first pregnancy but you need to do what is best for you and baby. tell someone, you'll feel better.
Have you started thinking of what you are going to do with baby? Raise it or put it up for adoption? An adult who loves you is really the best person to talk with and they can bring up valid points in doing both to help with your decision.
this is not the end of the world, if you are determined to make this work, it can! my cousin got pregnant when she was a sophomore in high school, she had dreams of becoming a dr. and at the time thought her dreams were gone. With the help of my aunt & uncle (her totally supportive parents) she graduated high school and went on to college and med school! she is now an OBGYN and raised her baby on her own! You can still do anything you've ever dreamed of if you don't let that dream go! You will need help along the way... talk with your parents. They'll be shocked at first and will probably have a negative first reaction (because they want whats best for the daughter they love) but will be more supportive, loving and even excited as time goes on!
Good luck to you!

Well you can maybe wear a big sweatshirt or baggier clothing...but it wont show for another 2 months. You have time to shop for stuff. You can always pretend that youre gaining some weight but after 6 months its going to be very noticeable and there wont be a way to hide it. Just being honest.

there's not really a way that you can hide it for very long. I suggest wearing baggy clothes until you are ready to let anyone know. Just make sure that you go for regular check-ups to make sure that both you nd your baby are safe and healthy. Just remember that when you do eventually tell people not to be scared, because they just want to help you. If your family dont give you the help that you need, then theres always councelling and things like that you can do. Goodluck and I wish you and your baby every happiness!!

I'm not going to yell to you about how having sex at your age is bad or how you should thing about the consequences, because that's already happened. Now, lets get on to your current issue..Go get a pregnancy test at a drug store near you and get tested. If it comes back positive OR negative, test again. If its positive both times, its time to tell the parents. Its going to be hard, but its something that has to be done. Pick a time where they arent busy and not stressed. Sit them down and say something like "Mom, Dad....I'm really sorry, but....I'm pregnant". Be aware that they might yell, cry, or even be happy. Good luck =)

wear tops that are tight at the top and loose at the waist. They are called empire waist blouses. big baggy clothes might help to but seriously tell your parents. They are going to freak out but they will get over it. If you fear that they might make you abort the baby or give it up for adoption then maybe you should hide it.

You can't hide it forever, as you probably know.
The only way I could think of to hide it is wear baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants. Not the most glamorous fashion statement but it works!
Good luck, I hope everything works out for you! :)

why would u want to hide ur pregnancy don't be ashamed of it I mean it's already done. Besides. u can't hide it anyway think about morning sickness when u start vomiting and gettin sick they'll know eventually. My best advice is to talk to ur parents.
