I am 12 years old and and preg. what should i do?

Answer 1

tell your parents, it can be life threatening at your aage 1) to carry a baby because your body is not matured enough and 2) life threatening to have a baby when your body not yet equipped to deliver it. there are many different options that you can look into, and find the one BEST FOR YOU!!! abortion is an option, regardless of other peoples beliefs, as a woman it is your right to decide. But get help today- you know to know your options so you can make a good decision with time to think about it

Answer 2

You have 2 options. One is to give this baby up for adoption which depending on how far along you are should be your first thought. You are a child and should not be raising one. You need to live your life and give this innocent life a chance to grow up healthy and with parents who have the financial means and maturity to do so. I too have a 12 year old and if she was pregnant I would insist she did this. Your other option would be to terminate the pregnancy. I believe either option you should seek counseling and learn from your mistakes. You do not have to make this one mistake a lifetime of pain for yourself. I know people are going to sound off and say I don't know anything. But let me explain, that YES I do know what I am talking about. I am the child of a very young mother, during a time when un-wed mothers was very taboo and these young innocent women were thought of as sluts. You do not have to take the stigma of being called a bastard, your child does, you do not have to take the stigma of not having a father, your child does. Don't make your child or yourself pay with the hurt and pain something like this can cause. Call the Edna Gladney home they are wonderful and will help you find that loving home your child can have and let you be the kid you should be.

Answer 3

I hope this isn't true.

If it is true, then you need to quickly talk to an adult. It might make it easier to tell your parents if you have another adult there with you. For example, tell your school nurse and have her call your parents in.

You might also consider an abortion. You are too young to raise a baby properly, and it might even be unhealthy for your body. Here are some pictures and info that show what your fetus looks like in the first two months (Don't worry- they aren't gross, they are very appropriate and scientific). http://www.wprc.org/parenting/fetal-development/first-trimester/ I'm showing them to you because that will maybe help you realize it isn't really a baby yet. Also there is info in case you decide to have the baby about how you need to act now to keep it healthy.

If your fetus is older than the first three months, then you will become a mom. I'm sorry as you are too young. You need to talk to your parents to see how they are going to help you. You need to go to a doctor as soon as possible and start prenatal care.

Answer 4

you're just a kid.. you haven't got any experience of life.. you're still schooling.. the first thought that blows out from my mind was to tell ur parents and get rid of the pregnacy.. but then i realized that the best thing 4 u 2 do is to keep the baby so u'll know that every thing in this world has it's consequences.. i sincerly hope for u that ur parents should take it well.. coz if u opt 4 an abortion u may risk 2 die during d operation.. then if u keep d pregnacy u might seriously think 2 kill ur self.. coz 2 be a mother is not so easy.. and i also think u've got 2 tell ur boyfriend.. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

I had a friend who got herself in the same predicament. She did wind up keeping the baby, however, she was not the one who took care of her. She was still busy growing up herself, so the grandparents took over. When the baby got a little older and began to speak, she began calling the grandmother Mommy and my friend used to get upset. This is your personal decision you have to make. Of course, you are under 18, so I am sure that your parents have a say in your decision as well. I wish you the best. There are many options available to you. It certainly is possible for you to have this baby, but not without risks.

Answer 6

That's disgraceful. Tell your parents right away. And plan to give the baby up for adoption. A 12-year-old child has no business having sex!

Answer 7

First of all, are you sure? IF you are, you need to tell your parents. It will be very hard to tell them, I know, but you have to. Whatever you decide to do (abortion, adoption, etc.) will require a signature from a parent or guardian since you are a minor. Also, PLEASE don't be one of those girls who hides her pregnancy from everyone and has the baby in a restroom then throws it in a dumpster. That is a very horrible, easily preventible thing. Your parents will be mad, no doubt, but you have to do the responsible thing and tell them so they can get you some help.

Answer 8

I think you should tell your parents and keep the baby if your not a drug user or a drinker...or a partier...i think that if you give the baby up for adoption your gonna really regret it and if you get an abortion that would be a nightmare...good luck!

Answer 9

I can't imagine how you must be feeling. You should confide in an adult that you feel you can trust - a parent, sibling, teacher, priest, etc. You will need the guidance of someone who can help you with the many questions that you now have and will have in the future. If there is anything that I can do to help, please let me know.

Answer 10

First of all TALK TO YOUR PARENTS! Then let them help you decide what to do from there. For me abortion is NEVER an option. (And am actually looking for a baby to adopt) Please go to your parents! Maybe some options would be for them to raise the baby as if he/she was your sibling. Or give the baby up for adoption. Find a family member or friend that wants to adopt. But PLEASE talk to your parents. LET THEM HELP YOU!

Good luck honey and God bless you!
