Help! My Mom Thinks Im Pregnant! Posted: 10-06-07 07:45am
Im 16 and have been on the pill for I
think 2 years now. Very recently I became
sexually active, but still use a
condom/withdrawal method even though Im on
the pill, just to be safe. A few months
ago, I gained some weight, which I thought
was normal since I hadn't gained weight in
quite some time (4 years) and that it was
just me growing up. Most of this weight
went to my butt and hips and thighs and
breasts, not my belly, which is still
almost as flat as it used to be. My
breasts arn't tender or swollen, and while
I have been peeing frequently, I've sortof
been that way my whole life. The other
day, I was using the mirror to check out
my outfit, and she asks me why I have a
belly! I hadn't thought that I had a
belly, but I listen to what my mom says
and so was real paranoid for the next week
until I got my period. The period was full
length and as far as I could tell, nothing
out of the ordinary. But thins morning, my
mother says to me, I want you to take a
pee test! I tell her I've had a normal
period and she says that it dosn't matter,
I could still be pregnant because Im on
the pill and Im young so that could make
me have a fake period or something. Its
been a week now since I was off my period,
and no spotting.
Should I be worried or is my mom full of
it?

If you are taking your birth control pills
correctly, you are protected from
pregnancy. Using condoms also is a great
way to maximize your protection. Your mom
is just scared. Take the pee test, look at
her and go, "See. I told you. God, you
never listen to me."
You aren't pregnant. Remind your mom that
birth control pills are 99% effective
against pregnancy.
Your weight gain is normal at your age, in
the exact spots you mentioned.
