Life with your belly is pretty much the same as without it.

Unless the kids at your school suck, then life is hard. I wore a lot of big sweaters.

Well, kids these days see pregnant girls their age all the time. It probably can't be any worse than being sent away to a home for unwed mothers, to give birth and give your baby away - all the while keeping it a secret.

You'd think this would deter young girls from having babies so young... but no, it does not.

I was a junior when I was pregnant. I guess I wore overalls, sweatshirts, athletic pants, you know that kind of thing. I didn't have to worry about people being mean thank goodness. I went to a smaller school I think there was around 60 in my class, and I was pretty well liked. I never did wear anything that different from normally just stopped wearing jeans for awhil Smile But there are some really cute clothes out there for when your pregnant now, so just keep your eyes out for some good deals!

She doesn't live in the US. I wouldn't assume things would be like they are here.

I think she's trying to ask what to do when it grows, it's just not coming across well in translation.

Did she tell us why she wants to go through all of this to give it up for adoption at the end, instead of medically (as in with medication) aborting it while it's still early?

I have been following this girl's story since her first thread and refrained from posting till now. Does she really need to give anyone here an explanation on why she made this choice for herself. I mean from what I gather a lot of people that have been responding to this girl asking her why she choose adoption are pro-choice people. Well this girl was given a choice by her parents adoption or abortion. She made the choice to go through with the pregnancy and place the child for adoption instead of having an abortion. Thats her choice something she thought was best to do.

And let me say if I was in her shoes I would have a difficult time choosing abortion even if I was 14. As a whole I am not against abortion but I could not go through with it under these circumstances. I just couldn't have an abortion. Yes adoption is hard. Yes emotionally it can rip your heart out for a long time. But with time it does get better.

Well I have never had one so I can not speak of something I know nothing about. But I do know what it feels like to give a child to someone else to raise via adoption or signing away guardianship.

wel every person is different and of course we can only speak of our opinions and expieriences

abortion and adoption can both be as equally hard and not hard depending on the person.

however this girl is 14 yrs old. i think thats the biggest play factor in all of this

Even so there are only 3 people that really need to have an explanation for her choice:

herself: she has to live with whatever she decides to do
her parents: so they can stand beside her and guide her through
this tough time.
her doctor: for obvious reasons I am sure.

No one else really needs an explanation for why she made this choice. I am sure this decision was not made lightly. For whatever reason this is the path she has decided to make. I am sure her doctors will watch her very closely through this pregnancy because of her age.

And also on the note of her age and the pregnancy. This girl may not have any complications with the pregnancy. My niece (who is pregnant currently) found out she was pregnant right when she turned 15. So not much older than the OP probably just months in difference. She is 7mths pregnant I think. She is due in March. She has no problems healthy wise with the pregnancy because of her age. Only issue thus far has been a lot of weight gain since the start of her pregnancy. Lets put it this way she looked a lot further along in her pregnancy by 12wks because of the weight gain. But other than that nothing different then anything I ever went through when pregnant. I am sure labor will be difficult but then again when is it not.

i guess what I am saying is she may not have any issues with this pregnancy and delivery because of her age. Sure she probably has a slightly higher risk than if she was older but may be not. Pregnancy does not wreck everyones body no matter the age. I have had 4 kids starting when I was 17 and you could not look at me and tell I have had that many kids.

ETA:
Way off topic but I just noticed this. Why does it say this under my name "Moderator & Protectress of Pigeons"?

Of course she doesn't have to give an explanation for anything. I. personally, am just curious as to why a person would pick the much, much harder and riskier choice from a physical perspective, and maybe from an emotional perspective as well.

The most common emotion women have after an abortion is relief. I'm pretty sure that's not the case with adoption.

again every woman is different
i think someone could feel relieved after giving a child up for adoption.(personally i wouldnt but thats just me.) same thing goes for abortion.
