17 And My Gf Is Pregnant
Posted: 09-11-06 20:50pm

Well first of me and my girlfriend are both 17 years old, grade 12 high school students. Both practically straight a student (she always has a minimum of 70% in her class and I have a minimum of 60% in certain class the rest 70%+ but we are both in university level courses), both very good kids. We've been going out for the past 4-5 years, we meet in grade 8 and started going out in grade 8. We met when I was djing the school dance (djing/music production is my choosen career). Recently we've started to engage in sex. Now she has told me that she is pregnant. First of all we havnt told our parents yet, we don't know how. She says she wants to keep the baby. What ever she decideds to do i'm going to stick with her no matter what. I just need some advice on what to do.

Plz help

When I got pregnant I was 15 im now 16 with a 4 month old babyboy.First off she needs some prenatal vitamins for your baby.If you two really love your child you will go through whatever caca is thrown to you.Believe me its hard at first but so much more worth it at the end.When you there in larbor and delivery its one of the worth painful beautiful things in the world that one can replace.Im now happily married with my babydaddy.Good luck with everything.Pm me if she has any questions.

Well I know you might be scared..I have been there ..I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant..Now my son is 13 months and I look back and thank god that I had him..He is the best thing that has ever happened to me..I know you are worried about telling your parents..But the sooner the better..Now is the time for you to prove to them you are mature enough to face them with the news...They might be disappointed but in the end they will love that baby more than life itself..I think you and your girlfriend should talk and then maybe tell both your parents at the same time..Just remember ...This baby is a gift and you and your girlfriend need to get it out in the open so that the both of you can plan for the baby and enjoy it..Good luck and if you need anything feel free to pm me..

The first advice that I can give you.. 1. Seek medical attention to make sure that her and the baby are okay and to find out all the dates and etc.
And also tell your parents. No matter what we say or do. Are parents will always love us. They may be hurt or etc, but the will love you no matter what. Parents love their children unconditionally. Good luck to you

Before you tell your parents I would make sure that you are totally sure that she is pregnant. That way you won't have to bring up a tender issue and possibly make a big deal over something that isn't happening. Some parents tend to feel betrayed or very hurt, others feel the need to yell and voice their disapointment, this could cause you and your girlfriend undo pain.

Hey....I recently told my parents that I was pregnant too... Do you still live with them, or do you guys live together? I think living together would make things a lot easier....I know it did when I told my mom. Well I think it did anyways. At least she knows she won't have to take much responsibility, because we're not living with her.

I waited until I was around 3 months to tell her, just because I was too afraid of what she would say. When me and my bf finally told her, all I said was "so we're having a baby." she was upset and dissapointed, and I gave her some space. She still hasn't completely come around, but I think she will eventually. But it really helps having our own place, because me and my bf aren't stuck under the same room as our parents, with them constantly going on about how we screwed up.

There's really no easy way to break it to them. Chances are, they will be hurt and dissapointed, but they'll eventually get over it. Telling them is definitely one of the hardest things you'll do, but its something that has to be done. My boyfriend was with me when we told my parents, and I think that was a good choice too. The two of you are in this together.

Good luck, and I hope everything works for you!!! <3

Yes I still live with my parents. For sure we are going to live together after the baby is born if not sooner. What my plans so far is to move into my basement rec room. Make it into 2 rooms. 1 bedroom and a smaller rec room where my studio would be moved to (im a dj, well a g12 high school student but I do djing)
