well your dad cant kill your baby, its not his decision wheter or not you have an abortion and dont let anyone do anything that you are not comfortable with. This is your body and your decision, not anyone elses. The babys dad is already your ex which means either way hes already not with you so it doesnt matter much in that area. You cant worry about him, just yourself and that baby., You need to tell your mom asap so she can get you to the doctor so you can get the care your baby and you both need. she will probably be a little disappointed but you have to tell her, hiding it is doing anyone any favors. The longer you wait the more chance you have of something going wrong. If your father is really going to be angry about it enough to try to force you to have an abortion, she might be able to get you to stay with her if she knows the situation and say its because you are close to the doctor or something. Its hard to do this single, but if you get your mom for support its going to relieve so much of the pressure and stress you are feeling right now.

krystal15, Why do you want to have a baby at your age? Is it because you are so in love? Do you think having a baby will get your ex back together with you?

ao. to be honest i dont even know if this girl is in the what to do now stage.. i think shes in the how do i tell everyone so i can get my options phase. She hasnt said one way to the other whether she intends to keep it or give it up, or abort it. She is just in the position many girls are in, in which they are scared to tell people because of what reactions might be.

Don't worry about your ex. Also, your 15 years old, he's not the only guy out there that you'll fall in love with. Trust me, I know from experience. I'm 19 years old and 16 months pregnant. I was with my first boyfriend at 14 and I stayed with him for over 2 years, I was sure that I'd be with him for the rest of my life, but now I look back and laugh at how stupid I was. Right after him I dated a guy for 9 months and loved him also. When we both went off to University I was devastated and thought I would never find anyone else, once again, I look back and laugh because a month later I was dating the guy that I'm still dating today. He is my baby's father and now he is NOT wanting this baby. This has caused me to move 5 hours away from him because he has caused so much stress on me, which has also caused stress on my baby. I am now realizing that I'm much happier without him, so once again, love has played a game with me. This is about YOU and your BABY, not your ex. Do not let him make any decisions for you.
I know telling your mom will be a scary thing, but you might be surprised at her response to everything. When I told my mom I was sure that she'd just break down and cry, but instead she was excited. Of course she was also shocked, but now my entire family is excited for this baby. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you choose to tell your mom really soon. I'm here if you ever need to talk. Smile

meaghan...are you 6 months pregnant? Im glad to hear that you have support. She is right though krystal, guys will come and go in your life. My babys dad is my ex and he never sees nathan. Hes been here once in 5 months. He doesnt care and I dont need him to. You have to be strong for your child and the rest will come to you. Your not going to be getting married tomorrow, i hope, so focus on what you can control, taking care of the life you are carrying. That baby is totally dependent on you right now and the stress you are feeling it is also feeling. Once you get over telling your mom, youll at least have someone to talk to and share this stress with to take it off of that baby.

Hello Krystal Smile Finding out your pregnant at 15 can be extremely overwhelming. You feel compelled to tell your mom by already conveying you think you need to. You are thinking in the right direction. I am assuming you are in a visitation arrangement where next month is your dad's time? If you feel threatened by any way in going check your state laws. Courts will address visitation until the age 18. However, some states allow the child to break from that. Most dad's do rant and rave but when it comes down to it your still daddy's lil girl. As far as the ex goes? Let that ship sail. You have enough on your plate to add more stress. Get things straight with your parents, get to a doctor, and take care of yourself. Your ex can be informed later.
