plan on telling my mom till I'm 17. (Oct.

I was showing as early as 10 weeks but
this is my third baby and they say you
show earlier with the more pregnancies you
have!! Also I was always bloated lol!!
It does change from person to person!

I am 9 weeks along now and I just have a
tiny bit of bloating or whatever you wanna
call it. I'm not sure when I will start
showing.

I didn't start showing until about 31
weeks.. but I'm 6ft tall & I had a
very small baby.. so even at 37 weeks I
barely looked pregnant. Everyone is
different.

well i personally wouldn't try to hide
it... she can help you with alot of things
and all the questions. and even if you
just got pregnant today you'll more than
likely start showing before your birthday.
but on to the answer of your question...
i started showing around 23-24 weeks

Well the thing was I had an abortion May
10th. I was 8 weeks and 6 days, and wasn't
showing at all. I don't know if that means
anything or not. I can't tell my mom right
now. She is so strung out on dope that if
I don't even shut a door behind me she
will freak out. I stay with my grandma
during the week and my moms on the
weekends, so I have the chance to go to
the doctor if I want.

She told me if I got pregnant again that I
would have to go live with my mom which I
can't do.

If you're looking for abortion advice, you
need to go to the medical abortion forums
located further down the ehealth list. We
don't discuss abortion here.
If you want to keep this baby, that's
another story.
Just a curious question, but did you use
birth control this time around?

I am not looking for abortion advice. I DO
want to keep this baby. I used birth
control for a month, but it made me sick,
so I stopped taking it.

Did you use condoms when you stopped
taking your pills? 
having gone through an abortion and
knowing how your grandmother felt about
you becoming pregnant again, why would you
not protect yourself?
I think you should tell her as soon as
possible. If she's unwilling to help you
raise a baby, you need to know, so you can
get your resources together. 9 months
might sound like a long time, but it's
really not. You need a stable place to
raise your baby, and from the sound of
things, your mom won't do and your
grandmother might not be willing. If you
want to keep this baby, the clock is
ticking.

i really agree with AyaMiyaki on this
you need to make sure your baby is ok. and
9 months is not a long tmae at all!

I used condoms half the time. My
boyfriend is planning on going into the
marines in March, which is around the time
I will be due. So I'm going to have to do
something. I just really want to go to the
doctor.

Well you definitely do need to go to the
doctor. I still think you should tell your
grandmother. Even if she's not happy with
it, she will probably at least help you
find a doctor.

Now that I think of it, she probably will.
She is a nurse herself. I might tell her
tomorrow when she gets home.
