Q: I Could Be.. Who Knows?

Well, I think I am pregnant. I took the test. And it came out positive. I'm so scared. I have no idea what's ahead of me. I feel so lost. I haven't told my mom yet but i'm planning to really really soon.

The first day of my last period I think was on december 9, 2004 and I didn't get my period last january 9, 2005 and i'm always right on time. So, I got scared and took the test.

How do kids my age cope with this? I'm in a relationship with my baby's father. Which kind of makes me feel better.

I grew up in a broken family and its true what they say that its the kids who suffer in the separation of the parents. You see, I don't want my kid growing up like me.

It came to me that i'm not the only one affected here. There's a whole bunch of people. Especially my boyfriend, who's just 18 and in first year college and my baby.


Anyone, please don't hesitate to give me some pointers. I'm only 16.

First of all you need to tell your mom and make a doctors appointment. You also need to tell your boyfriend. By telling your mom may be able to help from feeling so lost. You and your boyfriend can think about giving the baby up for adpotion. That is unless you want to keep it. The choice is up to you and your boyfriend. But either way you go you will be a good mom.

How to Deal??
I'm planning on keeping my baby. So, yeah. And i've already told my boyfriend and he too wants to keep it since, its ours.

Abortion is out of the question.

I tried the pregnancy calculator at amazingpregnancy.Com.. Today is sunday january 23rd 2005.
You conceived on thursday december 23rd 2004
and your due date is thursday september 15th 2005.

31 days have passed since the conception,
and you are 235 days before your due date.

You are 6 weeks into your pregnancy,
and you have 34 weeks to go.

You are in the 1st trimester.


The baby:
baby has grown a quite a bit this past week. The average embryo is about .16 inch at this stage. This measurement is taken from crown to rump. This is the beginning of the embryonic period. It lasts until your 10th week. Lots of important growth takes place during this time. There are three germ layers - the ectodermal, which becomes the central and peripheral nervous systems, skin, hair, nails, sweat glands and more. The mesodermal layer, which becomes muscle, cartilage, blood vessels, kidneys and spleen, and lastly, the endodermal, which forms the liver, pancreas, bladder, tonsils, thryroids gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system. The limb buds can be seen, eyes are forming and the heart begins to beat.

After reading this, I just couldn't help but cry. My baby's heart is staring to beat...

Tell me more about... Everything!

Is there like some depression thing or what?

Well, I know you are scared, but remember everything happens for a reason. I was 19 when I got pregnant, I was living with my boyfriend and we had "planned" on trying to have a baby. I was off my pill for a week and ended up pregnant. The night I told him, he moved out and has never laid eyes on my daughter who is now 10. Growing up I wanted a family with children, I had my daughter with the support of my mother and father. A few years later I met someone and got married, we tried having a baby and I had 3 miscarriages and then had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 23. I feel that I was given my daughter at the young age and the "situation" because god knew that was my only chance of ever having a baby. She's now 10 and things have worked out. It will for you too. Stay strong and let your mom and family help you. I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother, congratulations!!
