I'm Scared
Posted: 08-26-03 12:07pm

I'm so scared I might be pregnant, i'm only 17. I'm not ready to take care of a baby and I don't think my bf is either. I wake up in the middle of the night shaking because I am so terrified. What will I tell my parents if I am? What will I do? Give me advice. Please!

Look being only 17 of course you are gonna be scared but dont be. Please go through with having this child. They are blessings even if you are very young. You can have the alternative of adoption. There are many programs to help young mothers out there. Its going to be a very tough road from here on out but you need the support of your boyfriend. And if he doesnt want to then you dont need him. If you are for sure pregnant, (take a test to be sure) then you need to tell your mom camly that you are pregnant and if she will support you emotionally through this because you will need her more than anything. She might take it hard but after that she will be there for you. Please PM me.

Thankyou for your advice and support. I will take the pregnancy test as soon as I can. It's nice to know there is someone out there who cares. As for telling my mom, actually I have no idea how she would react, i'm sure she would be supportive, just very, very dissapointed.

Of course every mother is disappointed to find out that their baby is going to be having a baby! My mom almost strangled me when she found out my younger sister was pregnant! Im not much older, only 19 but I try to talk to younger girls to hold off on sex or get on a method of birth control. It is very, very hard and stressful to have a baby. There is a high chance you are not pregnant, just late but the test will tell you for sure. Take it in the morning (results work best at that time) and if its negative but you are still worried then take another one within two weeks. I know that being a young mother you need alot of support and love to get through this. I wish you the best of luck! Tell your boyfriend you might be pregnant and if he freaks out and tells you he cant have a kid or hes not ready and blah blah blah, let him go. Hes not mature enough to be with you in the first place.
