it's been a week that i feel nausea, tired, weak and feel like fainting for a week. I knew something was wrong cause there was no fever at all. Even i did not have anything to prove it that time i am 100 percent sure i am pregnant. I went to doctor yesterday and was proven that i am pregnant for 1 month 4 days. I am 17 going to 18 in few months, but all these is too scary for me. I am not prepared for this new life at all! I did not let anyone know, even my boyfriend. I have never even have the thought of having a baby at any point in my life! I don't have the courage for it! Now i am very confused and scared, i don't know what to do.

hello i am 18 year male.
anyways in my opinion i think you should tell your ex-bf right away whether his your ex shouldn't matter he is just as much apart of this as you, that way you and him can decide whats the next step should be, whether to have the child or abortion.

17 n prego
hey...ur a little older than me but im 16 turning 17 i kno i may seem like im fast but really im not i was curious n my curiosity turned me into a mommy...i was prego for five months b4 i knew i was prego so when i thought i was 1mo. i was actually five i kept it a secret for 4 extra mo. so i finally told because i began to show so i kno about being scared since when i went for a sono gram they personally excourted me to the hospital n i went in to labor 3 days later...but honestly things arent as bad as they seem trust its nt as bad as you think n it will surprise u how helpfull ppl will b but dnt get me wrong u will have ur occasionally assholes bt jus ignore them. i thought ma life would be over but i love my life more than ever now my beautiful bby give me a reason to striv so hard to reach my goal n i still hang wit friend and i got a new bf and he treats my bby as though he the father which is amazing im a proud mommy for 2 months now and i look foward to each day coming u should too. but just b strong and keep ur head up things will work out for the best trust me. i hope this helps n weather u see ur situation as good or bad still congradulations a bby is a gift...n if u do keep ur bby remember this a wise person once told me a bby dosent hold u back u hold ur sel back with excuses...have ur bby n live ur life to the fullest

I just turned 17 last month. i took a home pregnancy test yesterday and it said i was pregnant. i went to the doctor this morning and had a blood test done and teh results should be back this evening... i am going for my first ultra sound today. my parents know and they aren''t too thrilled about it. my boyfriend knows and he is actually pretty excited.. i was shocked.. i'm not really sure how i'm feeling about all this yet.. it was completely unexpected and idk if i'm ready to be a mom but i'm completely against abortion so i am definately keeping my baby. i want to be a good mom but at times i have doubts... any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks:)
