Maybe if u want wait till its to late and tell him.... Wink

Well first of all sounds like u are to young to know the diffrence, do u know for sure u are pregnant? And if so how far along are u? And man if I were u I would wait a little while to make sure the pregnancy is gonna go through, who knows u might misscarry, so just take it one day at a time,

Manda-

first let me tell you that I understand that you are scared right now. I was married for one month when I found out I was pregnant, and still it freaked me out too. However, there are some great organizations out there that can help you through this time, whether your boyfriend sticks around or not. Look in the phone book under abortion alternatives and I am sure you will find somewhere that can help you physically and support you emotionally during this time. Children are a big responsiblity but they are also a big blessing! I sincerely hope everything works out for you.

God bless

oh sweetie : Embarassed I hope that you are thinking of the baby's health and your finances, you should be able to apply for medicaid, I am sure you are still living with your parents, talk to them perhaps your parents, this young man, and his parents should all sit down and talk about what each of you can do to make this baby have a secure healthy happy life, I know it will be hard but this will be one in many things you will unselfishly do for your precious baby. Gods speed on you!

I think everyone has a right to know they have a kid on the way. So yes u should tell him, but hey if u are not comfortable telling him face-to-face, then just call him or write him a letter. But face to face is much better coz u can see his reactions.

Also, I think at 14, u are not financially independent, so u need to know how u r gonna support ur baby during pregnancy and after giving birth. There are alot of organizations that help teen mothers, so be sure to check ur local phone book and ask around.

And sweetie, tell ur parents, it's only fair that they know they have a grandchild on the way, and they can help u. If they freaked out, give it time, after the shock, they will try to best to love u more and help u out. I am sure. Smile good luck

Re: Im 14 Years Old And May Be Pregnet...
You have to tell the fathers baby that you are pregnet and that he is the only one that can really help you and if he dosen't wanna take the responsiblity on supporting you and your baby that is when you file for child support. Remeber it dose take 2 you just cant blame yourself. And remeber if your not ready to take responsblity there are other couples out there that are willing to because they may not be able to have kids and those people that adopt kids are ready for them and they are financially stabeled and and setteled. But I wish the best in the long run. And while your pregnet make sure you stay healthy and if u haven't seen a doctor you need to see one right away....... Good luck :d Smile

May be pregnant* or are pregnant? First off tell your parents! I know you are only 14 and they may kill you for this but you need to get in to see a doctor pronto! And you need to do the right thing for this child... How far along do you think you are? Have you told anyone? Even if you think this boy will not be there for you you need to tell him what happened he is the other half of this situation and he may walk away or he may suprise you... But do indeed tell him

im me on aim if you need someone to talk to: darlinjessa

Lindsey... Did you seriously say try to kill the baby? Omg... An abortion is one thing (no not starting a fight) but abusing a fetus till it dies is another... Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Do you know your pregnant or just think that you are? If you think you are don't start stressing it untill you are absolutly sure. I've been stressing it for like three days and its driving me nuts. It makes me feel sick all the time. So don't do that to your self. And don't try to kill the baby in other words don't try to have a miscarriage. You can't really cause that yourself. Like in movies you see the girls falling down the stairs and all that kid of stuff its not goingto help. If you are pregnant the baby is save inside the womb. The only one that wil end up getting hurt is you. And the oly person you should have to tell if the father of the baby, althought my advice to you is to tell an adult that you trust if you don't want your parents to know examples would be a trust counselor or maybe a teacher that your lose to or a family freind. Just some body that you can really trust. And try to get a pregnancy test, to know whether or not you are pregnant.
Best wishes, and god bless

Wow!! Ok lindsey do no try to kill the baby!! That is one thing u should never consider! Now I understand u are scared because u are young but honey im young to and I thought I was pregnant a few days ago but then I got my period. Do what everyone told me, dont stress on it because stress can defianetly delay your period, take it one day at a time, wait a week or 2 then if there is still no period, take a at home pregnancy test, u have to know for sure. Then if u are pregnant tell your parents, they may freak at first but they will eventually understand and face the issue, then if u decide to get an abortion, do it the right way, but honey dont try to kill it yourself, its not only the wrong thing to do, but it can also be dangerous. Good luck and keep us posted, if u need to talk u can im me on aim at xoxkrystunnxox!!

Killing the Baby???!?!?!?!?!
Killing the baby.... I know I got bad eye sight but i'm sure you said killing the baby! ... I think if you try harming the baby you'll harm yourself at the same time. If you don't want it an abortion is the best thing but thats your choice.

IF YOU have only had sex wihtin the past 3-5 days, you can go to planned parenthood and get the PLAN B Morning after pill.

We give it to teens without parental consent.

It can be taken up to 5 days after sex, but it is most effective when taken within 3 days.

the original poster wrote:
