Im Scared.... Im 18 And I Might Be Pregnant

Hey,

i'm 17 and 7 weeks pregnant. When I found out about 2 weeks ago that I was pregnant I freaked out! I totally knew that my mom was going to kill me...Not only her but my whole family.

So I waited a whole day before I told her, and trust me that was the worst day ever. Not because me and my mom are close or anything (we never were) but because I knew that I had to tell her, and that I couldn't just advoide it, because it isn't something you can ignore. So she was out that night at my aunt and uncles house for dinner and got home late, while I was waiting for her I wrote her a letter, and told her everything...And I left it on her bed. I heard her come home not long after move around the house, talking to the dogs (her room in directly over mine) I heard her sit on the bed and then there was no noise for a while! Lol I was freaked out and then I heard her come down the stairs. She actually wasn't angry!! She wasn't happy either, but she didn't freak out and scream or cry or swear at me or threaten to kill me like I swore she was going too...Lol. She was very calm, and now she is extreamly supportive!! It's great, but I just like you thought my mom was going to freak out, because that's what she's always done my whole entire life about everything.

So I am sure your mom will handle it a lot better then you are thinking she will if you are pregnant.

As for what to do you have to do what feels right for you. You are an adult and no one can decide this decision but you. I personally couldn't even fathom any other option than raising my own child. But that is me...I don't believe in abortion but that is your choice. Don't let anyone bully you into anything. And there is always adoption.

Please give a good long thought about what is right for you and your baby, and good luck!

Im 18 and in the same exact position as you are but my period is late 5 days and im one year older than my bf I dont know what to do I m so confused but my friends said that sex pushes your period back but the antisipation is killing me. I also want to know if its true does sex really push your period back im a first timer.

I'm in the same spot but i'm not sure that i'm pregnant just yet but I have almost all of the symptoms. Except i'm barely 16!

For all of you... Except you kimmeh lol

When I was 16 I got pregnant. I left my dad a letter by the coffee maker. Any way just remember everything will work out. The most important thing is the support you get from your family. My mom watched my daughter so I could still go to school and sometimes so I could go with my friends. Your family will be the ones to make this easier or harder. But don't worry too much about your period. There's no point worrying. I was so late once I told my husband we might as well not use protection because I was sure I was pregnant. So we didn't use any protection and the next day I got my period.

Thanks guys. I'm just gonna relax and wait. I should know by the beginning of august.

Remember you can take a first responce pregnanct test, and it will let you know up to 4 days before your expected period.

Just to be completely sure I just going to wait and see if I get my period.

When I was younger, 17 and 18, I had just started having sex and so every month was a stressful event as I waited for my period (even though my boyfriend and I used protection every time). This stress coupled with the stress of day to day life did make my period late a few times. Everytime my period was late, I became more and more late and I started seeing symptoms everywhere.

Stress can lead to hormonal imbalance and hormonal imbalance can lead to your breasts being sore and tender. My breasts are always sore once a month so I don't even attribute it as a pregnancy symptom anymore but when it first started, it freaked me out.

Other symptoms can sometimes arise because we are actively looking for them. I mean, if you didn't think that you were pregnant, would you really notice how many times you go to the bathroom a day?

Since you're two weeks late, it is a very good idea to get a pregnancy test done. If it's positive, then you need to go to the doctor and have them do a more thorough and complete test to make sure it's not a false positive. If it's negative, I would make an appointment to see a doctor anyway as once I was late due to a urinary tract infection and I didn't know it until I went to the doctor. Our bodies are usually balanced but anything can throw them off, especially stress.

If the test is pregnant, your doctor should take you through all of your options and what they mean. If they are biased one way or the other, seek a second opinion with someone who is going to give you .A.L.L of your options.

Best of luck and keep us posted.
Peace,
