Runaway Mommy?
Posted: 04-03-07 20:09pm

hello hello everyone, i was looking for a bit of help. I'm currently 17, and i have a loving boyfriend who's life is finally starting to turn around and everything seems to be going great. Well I've been feeling weird lately, I've been having to use the restroom way to often in a day, and i always feel like theres a bloating or crammed space inside me. (you know where) like I'm always full or something >_< doesn't make sense cause I'm always hungry.

well anyway, i don't have a regular period so I've always gone about 2 or 3 months without a period for a bout two years now. its been worrying me a lot. But i had these feelings for a bout a week or two, so i bought a pregnancy test and it looked like it came out positive. I'm going to take another one just in case and probably a third one just to check.
`````````````````````````
but my problem is what to tell my boyfriend, i told myself id leave my home town and find somewhere safe to raise my baby if i ever did get pregnant, because my mother is a psychotic health forum who literally told me id be a walking medical question up for the rest of my life, and my dad would probably kill me and then my boyfriend with his truck. So my house is poor and very unstable, wile my boyfriend loves me to death and is also low on money, he has told me never to abort my kin, and that he would hate to have a kid now at this time of his life, but would learn to deal with it. Hes 17 just like me and i don't want to drag him down, seeing as how hes a strait A student and is going to a really good collage in a few years.

so i was looking for any info of help on what to do, and if anyone knew of a teen pregnancy safe house, from a church to a small town ill go anywhere to help my boyfriend from crashing his life for me. so if you know of anywhere then it would be extremely helpful. Confused

he can still go to school with a baby, that isnt trashing his life, thats just making it a little tougher. if he wants to be involved let the man!, not only is running away not fair to your boyfriend but its not fair to the baby, why should the baby in question not have a daddy?

Whatever you do DO NOT Runaway.

I am also 17 with the same problem. However I've already told my boyfriend. And hes not ready to have a kid because he wants to go away to a university this August. But hes behind me 100%. And I'm still weighing my options of what to do and hes being really supportive and told me he'll be fine with whatever option I choose. And that we'll find a way to make it through everything and still lead successful lifes.

So hopefully yours will be just as understanding and supportive.

Some thing he said when I told him really makes sense. He said "It took two of us to make the baby, its takes two to properly raise a child and its something that hurts to have to go through alone. There fore I'm not going to run. It should be said we are pregnant not you."

Thought it was sweet. Hope you get a similar response.

Wow, you obviously need a life.

To the poster. Don't run away from your problems. It may seem like the end of the world, but it really isn't! And if you really think you won't be able to give the baby everything s/he needs, there is always adoption! Keep us updated and if you need to talk, you can pm me.

Your boyfriend cares for you and your child. As a teenage father myself leaving him is the worst thing you could do. Please remember that you created that child together and maybe he has family that would take you in? Whatever the case he loves you and wants to be around.
