Question

im 17 and really scared that im pregnant. my friend suggested not eating as much, and another person i know suggested drinking bleach. id rather not do either of these..are there any other options?

ok i know the best way not to have a baby is not to have sex. a bit too late for that though. im asking for help, not to be called stupid and told i need to grow up. thats definitly NOT helping.

i HAVE birth control. i forgot to take it the sunday after my period was over. i know, stupid mistake. also, the reason i dont want an abortion is because i a. cant pay for it and b. cant let my parents find out.

Answer 1

first baby calm down...

no matter what or how you terminate a pregnancy it is a form of abortion.

The safest way is to go to a pro and get it done in a clean and safe place...

I am for a woman's choice but life is precious.

Life is a gift. If you are prego, I understand you are scared but giving your child a life will be the best thing to do for that child. There is always adoption.

Look at it this way. You are 17 bout to be 18 with in the year. Women are strong beings. We are built for pressure and physical strain. You are one of us as a woman. Youcan do this without killing that baby.

also, not eating as much will hurt you too. Dont suffer yourself or that child for selfish reasons.

I hope the best for you and email me anytime if you wanna talk.

AND YALL STOP HATING ON MY ANSWER, I GAVE HER THE INFO SHE WANTED AND MORE.

Answer 2

First, take a test to see if you are pregnant. If you are, then the worst possible thing you could do is drink bleach. I can't believe anyone would suggest that. I would also not recommend getting an abortion. Those are harmful to mother as well as child. I guess that the whole "don't eat as much" thing is saying that you won't show, which is a pile of crap. You will show, since I assume this is your first child, that means you will show now more than ever.

There are so many other options open than killing or harming the child. Start some birth control (not that taking it will stop this if you are already pregnant) and STOP HAVING SEX. That is the only 100% guarenteed way to not get pregnant.

Answer 3

Honey, the only way to keep yourself from not having a baby is to not have sex. But obviously it's too late for that. The only other options available are abortion or adoption. But first I'd reccommend visiting a doctor to find out if you really are pregnant then start to think about your options if you are. Stopping eating nor drinking bleach would do you any help in this situation. Go find out asap so you have time to consult with a responsible adult (like a parent or some type of counsler) and talk about your options.

Answer 4

The best way to keep yourself from having a baby is to not have sex. Second best way....birth control pill and condom to prevent STD. Since you already think you're pregnant, you obviously didn't do any of this.

The fact that you think drinking bleach is an alternative to not having an abortion, shows that you are not mature enough to be having sex in the first place.

Take a pregnancy test and have it confirmed by a doctor. If you are, either get the abortion or have it and give up for adoption. You are too young and immature to raise a baby.

Answer 5

If the only reason you have for not having an abortion is because you can't pay for it, then borrow from your BFF or get a job QUICK! Ask the father for the money--if his parents are not religious and against abortion in general, he can get the $$ from them. I am sure that they do not want their son's life ruined at this stage either because of a teenaged roll in the hay. The father can borrow from his BFF. If you do not want to have a baby, the choice in the U.S. is yours. If you think that an abortion costs money, think about what 18 years of raising that child is going to cost you.
I don't know how far along you are, but you have at least until you are 12 weeks to get the money together. Some clinics will do abortions at 14 weeks. Find a clinic in your local phone book and make an appt. In some states they will have to tell your parents before the procedure. In other states, you can go without having to inform them. Also, even if you are in a parental notification state, if a judge gives his/her permission, you will not have to tell your parents. I suggest you contact your local Legal Aid or Legal Services Corporation office for help in getting before the court to tell the judge why you cannot tell your parents and why you feel that abortion is your best choice. (It is a sign of maturity to finally admit that you are not all that smart or mature enough to become a parent.) Legal Aid is free.

Answer 6

Well, both those ideas are really stupid that your friends gave you. Drinking bleach will kill YOU. And not eating - well, thats what my aunt did and finally when she was about 6 months along, she suddenly WANTED her baby... so, she started eating, only later that week to go into premature labor and her daughter was born dead. It was really hard on her. For now, there is nothing you can do until you know if you are or are not pregnant. Take a test, then go over your smart options - medical abortion, adoption, or keeping the baby.

By the way, if you are not ready for a baby - dont have sex. Plain and simple.

Answer 7

Drinking bleach will kill you. Not eating will ruin your health, and it won't cause a miscarriage. If you are pregnant, the baby will merely take what nutrients it needs from your body and you will become weak and sick and require hospitalization. If you are pregnant, the only way to keep from having a baby is an abortion. Talk to an adult. Talk to your parents. They will understand. First, take a pregnancy test. You may be worrying for nothing. If you're not pregnant, don't have sex without birth control in the future.

Answer 8

Don't do any of those things. You've started a new life!

First, check for sure that you are actually pregnant.

Second, tell your parents.

Third, if keeping the baby is not a viable option for you, check with Planned Parenthood about adoption.

Fourth, enjoy your pregnancy. It's an awesome experience.

Good luck sweetness.

Why can't you tell your parents? Parents aren't the heartless people kids think they are.

I had a friend who got pregnant my senior year of high school, and she was class president, cheerleader, and active in extra curricular activities. She was terrified of telling her parents but they were really supportive and so were most of the student body. Especially her friends. I can guarantee we didn't encourage her to kill her baby with at home methods. Now she's graduated from college, has a great job, and a beautiful little girl.

This is a speed bump darling, but the journey still continues.

Answer 9

If you are pregnant then there really isn't much you can do about it except abortion or adoption. I do not suggest that you drink bleach or any other chemical because it could be very harmful to you. Not eating as much will not really do any thing either exept make both you and the baby sick. What I suggest is calm down, take a deep breath, and do not start to worry until you know for sure.

Answer 10

Okay, if you do any of those things, you are GETTING AN ABORTION. Just you're not going into an office to have the baby extracted doesn't mean that harming yourself on purpose to loose the baby would be anything short of an ABORTION.

If you didn't want to get pregnant, you should not have had sex. If you're not ready for the responsability that comes with making adult decisions, you have no business having sexual relations, much less without protecting yourself. I'm sorry if I seem harsh, but it makes me angry that you want the easy cop out without thinking about the baby, who did not ask to be conceived to begin with.

Options: if you're pregnant, own up to your responsability and have the baby, even if you give it up for adoption. If you're not pregnant, please, either stop having sex or get some good birth control!

Answer 11

Yes, there are other options... How bout this one..... GROW UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS! You were grown up enough to have sex, now you have to be grown up enough to do the right thing.
Starving yourself will do you more harm then the baby....
Drinking bleach is just down right stupid and can kill you and the baby.
Open your local phone book and look up any Planned Parenthood or Health dept. They will give you FREE pregnancy testing, sex education and if your not pregnant (I really hope you are not) they will help you with low cost birth control. If you are pregnant, they will help you with counseling.
Best Wishes!
