I Was 15 And Pregnant....
Posted: 11-02-05 16:00pm

My name is nikki and I was 15 when I got pregnant. I also got married at 15. At the time my then bf was 18 also. I found out the day before he was to be shipped off to basic training for the sirforce that I was pregnant. So I was the one who ended up having to tell his family and my mother about my being pregnant. We got married when I was like 4 mt.S pregnant? Im 17 now ( 18 jan. 8th ) and my daughter is 19 mt.S old. We live in san antonio texas 4 1/2 hr.S from freinds and family. I love to give advice and help out with what I can. Feel free to e mail me any time at blueflamed_boxers@yahoo.Com or im me at blueflamed_boxers at yahoo messenger. If you have any questions on any thing please ask me! And congrats on the pregnancy! Hope every thing in between you and your bf get worked out, but dont feel like you have to marry him right now just because of you being pregnant. You can waite if you feel its not time yet.

I really wasnt going to respond to dalicialynn, but I had too....How do you figure that given someones age will atomatically make the hospital know that he is over 18??? My mother knows another lady with the exact same name first and last and the exact same birthday year month and date. So seriously you are talking a whole lot of nothing. Your 17, your deceased bf (sorry about your loss though) was turning 18, were you going to lie about his age? What about your current bf? Cant he be put in jail too???? And I think that the article you showed someone in the family must have turned him in. And maybe after the baby was born they decided it was best for the baby to have a father and so they gave their consent. But I would like the original website so I can look at it myself. Thnx

I was 16 when it happend, he was 17.


He turned 18 when he had already passed away.


When they ask the name at the hospital, they ask the age,birthdate and etc aswell. They'll ask other questions about if hes living with you, and if your getting any benefits from the state. Etc.


In missouri 17 & 19 isn't illegal to be together. You guys are making a huge deal out of nothing and it's retarded.

Who gives a flying edit you'll see when it happens.

They didn't ask me anything at the hospital. I filled out the paperwork and that was it. They never asked a word about gov't asstiance or anything..

Stop trying to scare people. Do you know how ridiculous you sound? Do you know how many people would be in jail if that were really the case?

Just drop it....

I have a daughter.

They asked me all those questions at the hospital.

Baby_girl12306

just for him living with you then you're parents would be considered unfit. Most likely your mom will loose you and you'll have to go to a foster home.

Nobody can take away your child unless you're considered as an unfit parent.

If my daughter was 15 and I let her 18-19 year old boyfriend live with us, I know i'd get her taken away from me. That is too crazy.

I thought this post was over a girl who was 15 when she got pregnant and was woundering if any one else had been 15 when it happened to them? Am I totaly off? Can any one explain why were talking about this and scaring people? Im just woundering?

well the girl is 15 and the father of her child is 18, she wants to get married soon. But dalicialynn says in the state of missouri, the father of the baby is going to be thrown in jail when shes going to the hospital. Everyone is telling her that simply isnt true and she (dalicialynn) wont let up.

I dont understand how when your 17 and your with an 19 year old theres nothing wrong with that but when your 15 possibly turning 16 and with an 18 year old the gov't is going to throw him in jail. Thats a load of crap

im 15 and 28 weeks pregnant I didnt intend for this to happen I was taking birth control. Im having a girl im due on january 23,2006. I am still with my soon to bes babys daddy we have known each other for 3 year and almost been together for 2 years off and on after we found out that I was pregnant we split up for a little while because he was getting mad that I never wanted to do anything because I had morning sickness really bad. But we got back together he is 18 we plan in getting married in april. Any body else got any stories that relate to this or been throught labor already because that is what im scared of.
if you absolutly want to get married and raise your child together you can legally get married without your parents permission ( as long as you have proof of pregnancy) in baltimore maryland. Maybe in other states too. You also can file a motion at your local probate court office ( in the court house) to become an amancipated minor, the girls at the desk probablly will help you fill out the form. This means even though your not an adult , the courts will view you as one and allow you to get married to your babys father. You don't need a lawyer, once you file the motion they will give you a court date, and you can explain you sitiuation to the judge. Saying that you feel your mature enough for whatever reasons you have, bla bla. You'll be o.K. Also as long as you get pain medicine (during labor) you won't feel any pain, the shot hurts a bit, it's in your back, but it's over quickly. I had to deliver a 10.8 lb. Baby, naturally, because I waited so long to go to the hospital, and yes, i'm still alive, it took me 6 years before I was brave enough to do it again!! Good luck!

put that baby up for adoption, your to young, trust me I was 16 when I had my 1st child. I would have saved him a lot of pain if I hadn't been so selfish thinking everything would be ok.


your in no place to tell her to put her child up for adoption. So you regret your choice.. And? That doesnt mean she has to decide just cuz u feel a certain way. Give her advice not tell her what to f**kin do.
ok, heres my advice, "put that baby up for adoption,and stop being so selfish"! Talk to other adults that have been there,most will tell you the same! Why are you asking other teens for advice? They know as much as you do. Don't you realize if a child asks another child if he should eat candy for breakfast, the other child will say yes it's ok. But ask a responsible adult and you will get a completly different answer. Learn from others mistakes, don't make your own. It's so much easier. Go to barnes n noble, they have a self help section with lots of good books on this subject. Why do you think they are writing these books? They are trying to get through to people who don't know the answers. Also check statistics on how many teen marriages fail. You don't have to belive me, it's in every educated book out there, not in teen magazine!


i think your being very closed minded. Not every child will say that, my brother is 10 and when others try to get him to do something wrong he has a common sence to do the right thing. If she feels she can in no way take care of this child why would she keep it? Why didnt you ask people for advice and give your child up for adoption? Why didnt you go to barns and nobles? Why didnt you take care of a newborn for at least 5-6 hours when you found out you were pregnant. And many of the people on the board are well set and well prepared. They may not be married and they may not be as old as you, but they are determined to love and care for their child and not take an easy way out. And if you look at the stats many adult marriages end in divorce many. I do agree that she should read up on it before having the baby so she knows what shes getting herself into, but dont try and discourage her, thats the last thing she needs at this point.
I didn't ask people for advice, because I was sixteen scared and didn't want anyone to know, and I couldn't ask anyone online because there was no internet, this was 19 years ago, she has resources! Also, there was no barnes n noble. I went to the library, but information was scarce about this subject back then. And I didn't know anyone with a newborn or small children at the time, anyone in my family wouldn't have left a newborn alone with any 16 year old anyway, thats just how most people are. I had to learn the hard way. Kids now, have hundreds of ways to seek help or advice discretly, and I think they should do it.

listen to the last thing you said no one would give a newborn to a 16 year old, yet you expect them to give it to a 15 year old. Lol

lol, simple words? Im sorry its called slang and I there is a spell check on this site so if I wanted every single word spelt the way it is suppose to I would use it. And grown people can use the net, but when it isnt for useful things then they shouldnt even bother with it. Like seriously what person tells every person thats below a certain age to put their child up for adoption. There are people on this site who arent in their teens anymore and they give great advice like michelle1981 so unlike you she has sense and isnt as ignorant like you :evil:

so adults shouldn't bother giving advice about situations where they've been through the same things? Then why are some teens on here asking for advice? Most of them are asking for it from (other people who have been there). I think past experience and advice are useful things! And I didn't tell every person under a certain age to give up their child. In some situations I think it's best for the child. Like totally ya know!!

i think having a child at a young age fried you poor brain. I didnt say that adultsshouldnt give advice I even stated that michelle1981 gave great advice and she is a pleasure to talk to, but i've read your post. I've read how many times you've told pregnant girls to not keep their child and give it up for adoption. And your basing your experiences as though they would apply to everyone. Just because u think you've had it hard doesnt mean they will....Even though I dont agree with everything dalicialynn says, but take her for example, 17 own place, job and has her head on very straight. Im not saying it will be a picnic, but she knows her responsibilities and is working to make her child happy and that is the type of advice you should be trying to give people....Letting them know that if you truly can not handle the responsibilities of being a parent then adoption is an option, but if your like dalicia and feel you can do it and you work hard to achieve it then take care of your own.

Edit! Someone is not raising the other kid.. So do you think the same way about when your kid goes to school? That someone else is raising them and teaching them? Cuz its pretty much the same edit thing as u edit about putting them in daycare. Don't have anymore kids, in fact, dont even be around kids. Your horrible and can't even think straight. Your just plain stupid..
