Laws vary from state to state and country to country, specifying where you live will help other forum members provide you with advice.

Generally doctors are bound be confidentiality and unlikely to discuss your situation. Most reports come from parents.

Sometimes, the doctors see that the child is young and they do call social services to show up and ask questions. I know they did that for my sister. And if they dont think you will do good, they start showing up at your house to make sure the baby is doing good.

Weirded,

what state are you in? A bit of hope...I was 16 also when I got preg and my then bf (now hubby) was 23. My grandmother called every detective around to try to get him arrested, but they said that they couldn't because the consent age in pa was 16. Find out the laws, or let me know where your at so I can try to help you.

Good luck,

jennifer Laughing
