I know this sounds like a dumb question
but I have to ask it anyway.
I just found out im pregnant 5 days ago.
( im 5 weeks ) I do an allstar
cheerleading team. And I dont know what
to do with the sport. I am so scared I am
going to get hit and hurt the baby.
Should I stop? My parents have spent alot
of money on the cheerleading this year.
But if its better for the baby then ill
stop asap. Im 16 so im young. Ive been
with my boyfriend for almost 3 years he is
17. If anyone has any advice I would so
appreciate it.
Also if you have any advic on how to tell
your parents that would be great to.
Btw does anyone know when you can get your
first ultra-sound?

I would probably quit the team.
Cheerleading isn't really a pregnancy
sport, actually it isn't at all. Lifting
people in the air and getting thrown in
the air is very dangerous for your
pregnancy. So it would be best for your
baby if you stopped while your at least
pregnant.
It was also hard for me to break the news
to my parents being that im only 17.
Luckily I didn't have to because I have
such a big mouth older sister who got to
telling them before I could. They didn't
say much, I mean what could they really
say. Its not like they could change what
happened and yelling wouldn't help the
situation either. They were actually very
supportive in any desicion I made and told
me their here for me 100%. It shouldn't
be to hard if you have understanding
parents, but if not just start crying and
wait for them to ask whats wrong and break
the news followed with a long scenario of
how you used protection and don't know how
it could of possibly happened and bla bla
bla.. They shouldn't yell since that
would only make you cry more. Hope that
works...
Anyways now about the ultra sound... Well
I got mine the first time I went in just
to see how far I was and make sure
everything was in the right place and
stuff.... Then I got my 2nd ultra sound
at 18 weeks to see the sex and make sure
its progressing right.

i was 17 when I got pregnant (and just
turned 18 not that long ago)- I am 30 wks
now, and I wrote a letter to my mom, she
says she would have prefured if I had told
her face to face, but I was really scared
(me and my mom used to fight all the time,
so I thought she would kill me). Anyways
the short of it was, I didn't have to be
right there when she read it, and it gave
her a few minutes to gather her thoughts
and so on. She took it really well. In
the letter I told her that I loved her and
I was sorry for letting her down, but I
was pregnant and I wanted to keep the baby
because I couldn't have an abortion (which
was fine, because she is against them
anyways) and I had weighed my options and
I felt keeping the baby was the best one
(but I really played into the "i don't
want you to hate me" role...Lol).
As for the ultrasound, you get one after
you go to your doctors and get your
pregnancy confirmed. They give you a
referral type sheet and then you make an
appointment. The ultrasounds are really
cool. Good luck!

I would just ask your doctor. You might
be able to still do cheerleading with some
restrictions. You are pregnant not dead!

otherwise.... Thank you tons

A letter may be a good way to break the
ice but after they read it im pretty sure
you will have to talk about it anyways.
Maybe it would be just as simple to just
say okay mom and dad lets sit down b/c I
have some news that I think is quite
wonderful but may come as a bit of a shock
to you, I am asking you to not judge or be
mad, but to try to stay open minded,
because I really could use your emotional
support right now.
Thats just my opinion. I am pretty close
to my parents I told them when I caught
herpes. That was a tough one to tell my
parents but they were very supportive.
Anyway, congratulations and good luck
breaking the news. Let us know how it
goes!
