Um, I'm 17 and I'll be 18 in a few months.. I'm currently engaged and have been in a steady relationship for over a year. I think that I'm pregnant but, I haven't taken a test yet. I've had bloating, headaches!, nausea, and extremely tired. All i do is sleep. I was on birth control but quit about 2 months ago. We had sex on my period and the next day my period stopped... I was only 1 day into my period. Yea.. ODD! So if anyone has any help or support that would be nice. He is very supportive and he wants a family, so I'm not being negative about it but, i need friends to help support me! I definitely need to know how to tell my mom. I'm supposed to be the "good girl" you know and well... just help. PLZ Thanks So Much

Take a pregnancy test. If your going to be 18 in a couple months and are in a steady relationship you should be fine. Especially if he is supportive like you say he is. I would make sure if the test is positive you get in to see a doctor right away to make sure you and the baby get the best possible care. Dont let anyone talk you out of whatever you and your fiance deside to do, its your baby and your body dont let anyone talk you into something you dont want to do. Im on everyday if you want to talk message me. === Kyra
