I dont know what you can do. You shouldnt have done it without protection. Please dont get an abortion though, it just doesnt seem right. You will need to help out your mom ,and if theres anyway you can start making money by ebay or anything else, you should start now to start helping out the baby and your mother.
You can adopt out the baby, but I wouldnt take any chances with abortion. For me its like killing a baby, and I have heard many women regret it.

You will be surprised at the support you can get from your mom. I know it's hard, but it's best just to get it over with. The sooner she knows, the sooner she can begin to cope. I'm sure she will be upset, she loves you and wants what's best for you. But, hopefully she will help you with all of the changes you are about to experience. It may be a good idea to have a mediator there to help. You can both go to your school counselor's office, or have your physician tell her. You can wait until she figures it out on her own in 6 months, but you would be better off just to let the cat out of the bag. You could also try writing down what you want to say first or write it down and then give her the letter. Try to catch her in a good mood, if possible. Good luck with everything! If you ever need advice or just to talk email me! I was a teen mother once too!
P.S. It's best to have a plan before telling. She is going to want to know things like how you will support the baby, who will watch the baby while your at school, where is the father, etc. You should be prepared to answer those questions and if you are she may have a little bit more respect for you. Good luck pregnant lady!

You got to tell your mom. She will listen you cant hide it forever she will eventually find out.The truth is the best policy even if she screams and hollars at you she still loves you.Shes just in shock for the moment then she will calm down and talk to you. I have a question for you. Why did you not use protection?Your still a child its tough being a mom I had a baby at 19 i was not ready.Your going to be home with that baby and take care of it.You lose your child hood you would be going out once or twice a month.You cant let your mom take care of your child.Its time to tell her and see if you both want to keep the baby or give it up for adoption.Hard choice Huh.I hope you make the right decision. And if you keep your baby I hope you finish school or get your ged I would like the best for you.If you need anything send me an e-mail at srweidinger@sbcglobal.net

1. Go to the drug store and get some prenatal vitamins. They are sold over the counter, no questions asked.
2. You have to tell your mom or at least another trusting adult ASAP because you need to go see a doctor to determine how far along you are.
3. You have to tell the guy who is the father if you haven't already.
I personally do not know anyone who got pregnant as a teen and were literally thrown out on the streets. Yes, your parents will be very disappointed, but that will pass eventually and plans for the baby will begin being prepared.
Babies are gifts from God. It is not the babies fault that your life is about to be turned upside down. Your decisions created a life and you must own up to your decisions by raising it yourself. Please do not make the baby pay for your decisions and carelessness.

Fortunately, there are places you can turn other than your parents, thehelpline.org is a professional site with a professional hotline for teens to turn to. Girlsandboysclub.org is another one and there are many more hotlines to call that can give valuable advice. I strongly recommend you tell your parents, I know it is beyond scary and you think they won't understand, but more then likely, if they love you and have shown you unconditional love then they will be heartbroken and scared too, and probably angry at first, but they will come around fairly quickly and this is where you will get the help you need. The thing is, you need to see a OBGYN, for your child's sake, you need to have a doctor involved in your pregnancy to help prevent problems and treat any that arise. You need professional advice and help to make it through the 9 months and you need to do as much research as possible as what to expect. The word scared doesn't even began to describe the situation you are going through, I know it seems so much bigger than you, and it's ok not to know what to do right now, for God's sake your 15 years old, you aren't suppose to know what to do, which is why you need people who do, your parents, a doctor, a counselor. Keep in mind that thousands of other girls your age experiance the same thing, you aren't alone and there are people that help and care and you're going to get the most support from your parents, assumeing they aren't abusive and love you....Also I know you don't want to think about this yet, and you don't have to, but the father of the child is as responsible as you are, after all it takes two, and he needs and deserves to know that he has a child comming, and he'll probably be as terrified as you are and may bell out, because unfortunately, women carry that burden in life...to always be with child, while the man can run....it isn't right and not all men do this, but it does happen and I hope it doesn't to you, but you can't just expect him to mature overnight into a wonderful dad to be...especially if he is as young as you are....anyway....don't think about that right now, just focuse on getting help, especially medically, you need to see a doctor. I wish the best, really.
I strongly recommend reading as many resources on pregnancy and children during your pregnancy...it'll help a ton.

Unfortunatley hun the only thing you can do is tell your mom. I know is hard but in the end it will be the best thing for you and your baby. I don't mean this as an insult but your only a teen and i'm sure you can use all the help you can during and after your pregnancy. And if you can't tell your mom first use a medium....someone you can trust and you know that will help you tell you mom...a grandma, aunt, sister, friend teacher anyone...but hun you do need to tell your mom. You also want to make sure that you have the ability to finish school and obtain an education so that you can support your child. I know many girls who quit school and are working full time jobs to provide for their child. Hopefully telling your mom will help you out in different aspects of this pregnancy.

If you are having sex then you should know what can happen as a result of it. If you were mature enough to make a baby, you should be mature enough to talk to your mother about it. Of course she will be upset, but not because she dislikes you, it's going to be because of your age.. Trust me, your family cares about you and your well being. Whether you want to hear it or not, your mother will probably be the one who will support you the most. I don't know what relationship you have with your family, but if I was pregnant, the first people I would tell would be my parents. They support me and will always be there for me, even when I did something unexpected.
The worst thing you could do is run away or try to hide it from your parents. Think about if you want to have the baby, if you are ready to take on that kind of responsibility, and you need to decide for yourself. (Your mother should be able to give you some good suggestions being that she knows you personally, and knows what it's like to have a baby.)

Why can't you tell your mum, she will find out sooner or later, it's not something that can be hidden forever! You could be suprised at her reaction, I'm sure she may be disappointed but also very supportive and may help you with your options which is what you need right now as you are very young. What about the father? How supportive is he? Can he support you and a baby, what about his parents? Maybe you could see a counsellor at school (if you are still at school) and they could help you. But you definitely need help and lots of support right now. A baby is cute and lovely, if this is what you want right now, but they have a lot of needs and in reality can be very tiring and time consuming, especially if you are alone. This is not something you can hide from your mother and hope it goes away. Good luck!

I read all the other answers and they have no idea how your mom will react. Some parents are crazy! I am not sure how your mom is, so if you feel she will not understand than you need to get an abortion. You can get it done without her knowing. I got pregnant young and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. All your friends are out having fun and you are home being a mom. You need to enjoy your youth, enjoy high school, enjoy college, not change diapers. But, on the flip side, motherhood is a wonderful thing and I have no regrets. I matured WAY faster than my friends and love my kids so much. If I could turn back the clock though I would enjoy my teenage years and have kids when I was ready. Only you can decide what to do, but please go get birth control so this doesn't happen again. Good luck.

wow... I never expected that one... :) ummm... I am 15 too and my advice to you is that you really should tell your mom... just because she cares about you and your future is why whe will flip out at first... My mom and I had a conversation about what I should do if I ever found out I was pregnant before I turned 20, and she said that I should come to her before I want to have sex, so that I can get on the Pill, but if it was too late that she would help me out through the pregnancy and then we would decide what to do from there! Parents arent so bad, even though they are really stupid sometimes... One of my friends made the decision of hiding her pregnancy from her parents for as long as she could, and that made them SO angry that they kicked her out of the house and 16! She had to go live with her grandmother in a different state! AND! her grandma was so upset with her, she hardly talked to my friend for 5 months... I think thats the worst punishment, not having anybody that you can confide in and trust with this load... Maybe you should talk this over with a councelor at school or one of your best friends, I find that they always know the best thing to do if they really have your best interest at heart!
Hope that helped...
Karissa!
Hey, and if you need somebody to talk to, IM or email me, ok? One of my senior friends is going through the same thing!
Remember, that only you can decide what to do with your pregnancy... None of us are "preachers" you dont have to listen to any of us... we are just trying to help you out!

I know it seems like you can't tell your mom, but if she loves you she will respect your decision to KEEP your child, and even if she is mad, after she meets your child, all of those feelings will fade away. You need to sit her down, tell her that you made some bad decisions but you need her support in this time and more than anything you need her love and understanding. If your mom can't understand that, it's her loss. You need to immediately make an OB appointment and start yourself on Prenatal vitamins (you can get them from your drugstore). Whatever happens, good luck and know that God is always there for you no matter what the people around you think. I will keep you in my prayers.
