Stupid Mistake..could I Be? Posted: 09-14-03 23:39pm
Hi, im 17 and ive been w/ my boyfriend for
about 6 months now. Ordinarilly we use
condoms;but about one and a half, maybe 2
weeks before my period was supposed to
come down, we had unprotected sex. He
didnt come in me but he has expelled pre
cum into me. Usually my period come
around the 28th to the 2nd. Those are the
days when I usually begin my period. I am
pretty regular. Today is the 14th and I
havent started my perioid. Im
not really worrying about it because I
know my chiild would have a good life.
Ive heard that stress can cause your
period to be late. So far, there has been
no symptoms. But my mom said that for her
first month she had no idea that she was
pregnant. I told myself that I would wait
until the 5th of this coming month to find
out. Lately my boyfriend and I have had
uunprotected sex. Should I or should I
not wonder?

I would definitely get a test at this
point. Even though getting a positive
result won't change how you feel about
things, you need to prepare early on for
caring for the child and the very first
step in that direction is to have a
healthy pregnancy. So, please confirm
either way and start with your healthy
diet, vitamins, and medical care. And
feel free to write if you have any
questions, concerns, etc. Good luck!!

thank you for your advice. Im kind of
nervous about taking the test because if
it comes out negative I would be kinda
bummed. I know that im only 17, but I
would be happy to learn that I was
pregnant. I see a million teen parents
out there who do not deserve to be blessed
with a child. Have it be because the
father wasnts nothing to do with them or
the mother is way too immature. It would
be wonderful if I was, but in a way it
would be wonderful if I wasnt? Am I the
only person who feels this way?

It's perfectly normal to feel the way you
do. Mixed feelings are to be expected.
Any and every child is a blessing, but
don't let the joy of potential motherhood
gloss over the reality of being
responsible for another person for the
rest of your life. It is very admirable
to want to have a baby (if you are indeed
pregnant) and to want to care for her
yourself, but in everything you do, and
every decision you make, from the
pregnancy forward, will affect this
precious little individual. Please take
her well being into account with
everything you do/decide from now on.
As for procrastinating about taking the
test, taking the test itself doesn't
change the outcome. You are only delaying
the inevitable at this point. I trust you
know this already - and I do understand
how you feel. I think it's time, however,
to do perhaps the first adult thing in the
(potential) pregnancy - get the results
and begin your medical care.
Take care!

Thank you for your advicec. I dont have
anyone else who is in, or has been, in the
same prediciment that I am in. Im going
to wait until this weekend to go buy a
test so that me and my boyfriend can be
there at the same time to see the results.
I think thats the best way to do it. If
I am we can find a doctor and look up or
find out things to do to have a healthy
pregnancy. And if im not than we can take
the burdon off of us and be careful from
now on. Like I said earlier, thank you so
much for your advice and I will update you
on the results when I get them!! :d

Hey, maybe about 3 or 4 days ago I started
experiencing this really weird pain in the
top and middle of my belly. I dont know
what it was. It didnt hurt bad..But I
knew it was there. When I laid down for a
few minutes it kinda went away. I guess
you could say it felt more weird than
hurt. More like uncomphortable. I havent
taken a pg test yet. My boyfriend is just
facing the fact that "im pregnant". Ive
stopped smoking and im trying to eat
better. Not just because I might be
pregnant, but for myself! If you know
what that feeling that I get in my belly
is, please write me back!!
Thanks!!

Hi again - I haven't heard of anything
like what you're describing being related
to pregnancy specifically. Sometimes I
get a tightness in the muscles around my
uterus (at this point, 6 weeks along,
right above the pubic area and lower
abdomen between the hip bones) and
occasionally a cramp or two. But I
haven't had any pain or discomfort above
that. You will tend to experience more
gas discomfort, however, so that might be
it. I will not be online this weekend
though, so if you do wait to get a test
until then, please post so I can read it
when I check back in on monday. I'm
anxious to hear! :d
as for the smoking, good luck and good for
you!! I was a pack a day smoker until I
found out about the pregnancy. In seven
days time, I have cut down to only 5
cigarettes a day and will be smoke-free
(god help me!) by this friday. What a
good reason to quit finally!
Im
not really worrying about it because I
know my chiild would have a good life.
