Help, I Think I'm Pregnant
Posted: 03-27-07 12:41pm

ok, we had sex a bunch of times on the 17th ( like 4 or 5 times, please dont call me !$@%@ or anything). We didn't use any protection cause it was kinda random. My last period was on the 4th. I missed my period this weekend and told him. He went and got tests and they were all positive. What do i do?

I don't want to tell my parents, cause they dont even know i have a boyfriend. He's a lot older then me and im scared that if i am pregnant then they make be get rid of it. Can they do that?

Please help. I'm kinda skared.

How old are you?

I don't think your parents can legally force you to have an abortion but they can certainly put a lot of pressure on you. The best thing to do is go and see your doctor and get some blood tests done to confirm the pregnancy. If you are sure about wanting to keep the baby then you will need to receive medical care and start taking some pre-natal vitamins so you can help make your baby healthy.

i'm sure if you are pregnant your parents are going to find out anyway, it'd probably be easier to just tell them and get it over with Confused thats just me.

i realy dont want to tell them cause they realy hate kids geting pregnant. They kicked my brother out when his gf ended up pregnant, he was 16.

if i tell them they are gona blow up, and i just know theyd call the cops er somethin. I could probly tell my brother, he doesnt talk to my parents so i doubt he would tell them ( they dont speak, at all. im the only one with his number). But i realy dont want to tell him and have it end up not being true. How long till the tests would be right?

Wellll you said you missed your period so they should be right...right now.

that's really sad that your parents kicked your brother out and pretty much disowned him, i understand why you wouldn't want to tell them. why don't you wait a few more days, take another test and if it still says positive then tell your brother? But what can he do? eventually your parents are going to find out unless you plan on getting an abortion.

but just so you know, pregnancy isn't the end of the world, it makes things harder but it's definitely not the end of the world. and if your parents can't see that then i feel sorry for them. pm me if you want to talk.

well i told my brother. he freaked a little bit ( like when he found out who the father was). there was lots of crying. He said he'd help me tell my parents ( its gona be a long weekend) and incase my parents kick me out hes already talked to his wife about me living at their house. Shes fine with the idea.

we're planing on going to the doctors monday. my only wory is that they might need my parents to sign tings and if they kick me out.....
think my brother would be able to do the signing in that case?

oh and PurestGreen, sorry i didnt see your question before. 13.

If your parent kick you out they can name your brother your medical gaurdian. You can type out a letter something along the lines of...We (your parents name) allow (your brothers name) to issue/allow medical treatment to (your name) in our absence. Then have it noterized and your good to go. Congratulations on the pregnancy. It won't be easy, but you are very fortunate to have your brother and his wife there to help you. Many people go though this alone, it makes it easier to cope with support. Have you told the father?

Thirteen? Sweetie, you are just a baby yourself. Might I suggest you look into adoption? That is not as heartless as it may first sound. You have your entire life to look forward to - and a very lot of growing up to be done. Keep an open mind.

Good luck with your parents.

All parents are going to be different. Just as everyone's relationship with their parents is different.

If you suspect you are pregnant, go to planned parenthood and they'll give you a pregnancy test. It is free and they don't tell your parents. If you are not pregnant, get some birth control. Again, it's free so foolish not to use. If you are pregnant, decide what you are going to do and have a solid plan before you tell your parents. Because they will ask you, "What are you going to do?" And you'll have to figure out something better to say than, "I don't know."

Good luck
