Q: Im a Teen And My Girlfriend Might Be Pregnant.

I'm not here to ask how can I tell if my girlfriend is pregnant or worry about it as of now.
I think I owe myself to be mature about this whole thing.
This wasn't planned and we aren't even sure if she is yet but when would morning sickness show like how long until after you knew that there was a chance or should I put it this way how long would it be until you got sick after the sex .
Also can you test two weeks after the day you had sex?
Is that the correct time to test?
And if anyone knows some resources on dealing with teen pregnancy and how to deal with parents and etc. That would be very appreciated.

Teen Pregnancy
Hi, everyone is different with the morning sickness, I usually get it a couple weeks after the conception then it stop s and starts again a few months later. 2 weeks after sex is a good time to test, her hcg levels will be high enough to register on a chemist bought test. As for dealing with parents, I guess you just need to be up front and honest, and reasure them that you are both going to be responsible parents. Youll get through it, and you will love your bub.

Hey there. Well, im a teen too. I will be 19 this month. And I bet lotsa things are going thru ur head etc. When I found out I was pregnant, I had morning sickness the day b4 I found out. It's a feeling that u "just know" you're pregnant, nothing uv ever felt really b4. I couldn't eat things I normally ate, I had no appetite really, and this feeling in my stomach etc. And I still have morning sickness and im 19 weeks pregnant. :p neways, about the parents n stuff. Dont stress over telling them if u haven't even taken a test. I took a test and it was positive, then went to the doctor the next day for him to confirm that I was pregnant (another pee test) and then thats for sure cuz doc. Tests dont lie. So yah, once u do that then ya u gotta tell ur parents. And that was teh scariest thing ..Atleast I thot it was. See my parents and my bf's parents are very religious. No sex b4 marriage kinda thing and they gave us the whole sex talk b4 etc. And I mean, we were petrified cuz we knew they would kill us if I got prengnat, cuz they told us they would. But lets say parents say that so it doesnt happen cuz they want the best for u. But when I told them, they were" dissapointed" but they didnt hate us, and they were and are there for us 247! For the first couple weeks ya its a shocker, big time. I never thot I could tell my parents I was so scared. But when its actually happeneing, its happening no matter wat so they learn to deal with it, and sooner than u think they're all excited!! My parents and his parents are thrilled, and cant wait. Yes, its unexpected but thats life. Its not going to ruin your life, just change it. I hope this somewhat helps but this is my experience so far.

*laura.

Good luck!!!!

You *could* take a test 2 weeks after, but she might need to wait until 3 weeks after if you guys had sex before she ovulated.

Pregnancy is hard, especally if ur young. But I just turned 18 when I found out, now im 24, married( not to the father) and I have another child. It can be done and remember, any thing is possible it u do gods will

priestsforlife? I looked up the dns info and saw it was registered to frank pavone, the person that was all into the terri schiavo debacle. This smacks of propaganda, but take it as you will. Almost makes me want to have an abortion out of spite.
