I'm 15 and pregnant what do I do?

Question

I'm 15 and I haven't told my parents or my boyfriend. I don't know how to tell them or what I should do.

Answer 1

Go to a Planned Parenthood Center or a Health Department.
Perhaps you should talk to your boyfriend.
Adoption is always a consideration.

Answer 2

I was a little older than you when I got pregnant the first time. I was with my current husband at the time. I was 18, but I was still scared to tell my parents because I thought i knew the way they would react. I ended up stressing so much that I had a miscarriage and that was how they found out I was pregnant. They were a little disappointed but they were more worried about my safety. I wish now I would have told them from the begining maybe I would still have my first child. Please tell them It may seem hard but trust me it will be alot easier and a lot better for you once you do. As for your boyfriend just tell him if he wants to support you and the baby great for him it means he is a man and can face up to the responsibility that he helped create, if not then get rid of him now. The last thing you need is a boy trying to pass himself off as a man.

Well as hard as it is, and I know what you are feeling, tell your parents! I told mine when I found out and even though they were upset, it was the best thing in the world having them by my side and especially when my baby's dad was never around! They will always be there even if your relationship with your boyfriend is no longer. I now have 2 beautiful daughters and Grandparents are the best! You just dont understand the love for your baby until you see and fell them moving for the first time! If you dont want to keep the baby, dont feel bad, Adoption is always an option, NEVER EVER CHOOSE ABORTION PLEASE! I dont care what everyone says about "this is your body and it is your choice" , Reality is that you now are SHARING your body with another precious cargo! It is not just YOUR body anymore. If you feel that you are too young to have a baby, give your baby to a couple that will love and raise him or her. My Friend did that and it was the best thing for her and baby! You should read up on abortion and see the grafic images that would happen to that little life inside you and then you can make your choice! http://www.abortiontv.com/Pics/AbortionPicturesWarning.htm or http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/pictures.html or http://www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted_Baby_Pictures_Abortion_Photos/ or http://www.priestsforlife.org/images/index.htm , anyway you get the picture...just type in abortion pictures on any search engine and you will see. Anyway, congratulations on the baby! and TELL YOUR PARENTS!

Answer 4

Just because you are 15 doesn't mean you can't be a good mother, marry the father, and have a very loving family life. So, do the proper things beginning now by telling your parents you suspect you are pregnant. Take your boyfriend along and tell him you want to get married before the child is born, for the sake of your child. Arrange with your folks and his to go to the courthouse for a marriage license and marriage certificate. Do this before the child is born for the sake of the child. There are people to help you through this if you call upon them. Your county family health agency will help you through the pregnancy. Help from your parents and his can keep you in school until you and your husband graduate. You would be wise to get a DNA sample of your boyfriend now. For example, a hair, spit, saliva, blood, semen, or skin. Put it in a freezer bag labeled and put the bag in your freezer for future use and for health reasons.

Answer 5

well it depends on how long you've been pregnant, i wouldn't tell your parents until your around 4-5 months, just in case you might lose the baby, and you won't even really start showing until your around 6 months, but the sooner you tell them is probably better. don't go to planned parenthood because they'll most likely just tell you to get an abortion, which is not good, because it can cause you to be infertile later in life, if your parents are the kind of people that might kick you out i would make sure you had a friend you could stay with if they were to kick you out, as for the guy, unless he's a total sweetheart he probably won't want any part of it, then don't keep the baby just put it up for adoption once it's born...

Answer 6

Be strong, like someone else said. If you thought you were old enough to have sex then your old enough to have the consiquences. This child didn't ask for you to have sex.

I would first, if you haven't already, go to planned parenthood or a clinic in your area that gives free pregnancy tests, take the test. Once you recieve the results then go from there.

I would first tell your parents, if you and your mom are close she might already know and just waiting for you to come clean with it. Sit down explain to them you made a decision to sleep with your boyfrien and now your pregnant. They will get mad and yell, but just remember they do love you.

Tell your boyfriend, depends on what kind of guy he is, his reaction might not be what you think. His parents will be made and even ask for a paternity test, if you know it's his tell them sure once the baby is born i don't have any problems with it. If he is any MAN he will step up to the plate and take the responsibility. This took the both of you to create....and it's not going away.

good luck sweetie

Answer 7

My sister-in-law was pregnant at 15. For religious reasons mostly, she decided to move to another city and live with a family of the same religion for the remainder of her pregnancy. She-with help from her church-chose the family that would adopt her baby. I also got pregnant before marriage--but at age 19. My then-boyfriend (now my HUSBAND of 10 years!!!) and I decided what was best for us was to have an abortion. I'm sorry it had to be that way (and for us, it DID have to be that way) but everything worked out in the end. However, at the age of 15 you can't go the route I did without telling your parents. Try doing an internet search on pregnant teens and see what info is offered to you. Best of luck to you.

Answer 8

Just tell them you have something important to tell them that you are very scared, and hope they will help you. Tell them you made a mistake that you now you realize that you have to deal with the consequences. That you wished you'd made a better choice, but you need their help and understanding now more than you ever have!

Then, tell them.

Explore adoption. It may well be the best decision for the baby. Look up "Adoption" in your phone book, and make an appointment to get counseling at least. You are now called upon to make an adult decision, which means you put the child's best interest ahead of yours. Do what is right for the child.

Good luck!!

Answer 9

first thing u need to do is be calm... this is a very scary situation mainly because of ur age but u can get through it. First thing is be positive u are pregy, take another test just incase the first one wasnt accurate. Two is better then one!! Once u are sure you are pregnant u need to tell your parents... this will be difficult but it will be your parents who can help you get through it and decide what is best!! If your parents are unsupportive and decide that you are on your own then there are many places you can turn to for answers (example: hospital, clinics, shelters, etc) once you have let your parents know then go to your bf...if he is a good guy he will stick it out with you and be there....but if he decides to leave you then dont panic...you are strong and can get through this even if he is not willing to stay around.

good luck!!

Answer 10

Tell your parents first. Whichever you trust the most first.

It's humiliating, it's hell in your face. It's better than having the baby and THEN letting them know.

They'll find out eventually, but if you tell them they will trust you. They will realize what a difficult decision it was for you to have told them, whether immediately or gradually.

I won't tell you how much you should look over your actions, and learn from the chaos facing you today, because it will have been quite embedded in your mind by a thousand voices quite very soon.

Tell them, don't let them find out without you telling them. They know what's best--believe it or not, they've been through this stage. They'll understand, though they may not show it at first.

God bless you and good luck.

Answer 11

Sit down and discuss this with them (parents first). Be prepared for a bit of yelling but stay calm. You figured you were mature enough to have sex now show them you're mature enough to discuss being pregnant.

Then it's time to tell your boyfriend and his parents.

And see a doctor.. right away. Pre-natal care is vital. Hang in there, this won't be an easy ride.
