Have you talked to her atall? You need to tell her as soon as possible. Its very important that you see a Dr. and get started on prenatals! Good luck sweets! If you need to talk you can message me, im also a teen mommy.

I haven't talked to her yet. How old were you when you found out? And how did you tell your parents? :O

talk to your mom. she'll probably be supportive. i'm a mom and i would want my daughter to come to me for support. i'm a mom of 3 boys. i was young with the first. i'm so glad i didn't have an abortion. everyone told me to. i'm mad that i didn't talk to my mom first. i was embarrassed, i guess. but, mom would have been the first to steer me away from the consideration of abortion. something happened to me, i was wishy-washy about it, knew i was not really going to go through with it, and one day started crying realizing a baby was inside me and that i wanted to protect and nurture it. i considered adoption next. that's when my mom found out. i'm glad she did, because she supported me in this time and was so relieved that i didn't get an abortion. so, please, please, please, tell your mom. she'll help you. you'll be fine. babies are a blessing! i can't imagine life without my son, he's a gift!

hey serenitylove im currently pregnant and im 17yrsold i was scared to tell my mother to because i was afaid that she was going to freak out...it wasnt as bad as i expected it to be. I found out i was pregnant when i was 6weeks pregnant and im currently only 9weeks pregnant..just talk to your mom before its to late....its better for u to tell her rather her find out by somebody else

im 18 and have a 6 month old son and am pregnant again. It was hard to tell my mum, but i did it and it was the best thing i ever did, shes been the best help i could ever have wished for.

Hello my name is Dani and im 17 years old. I found out i was pregnant the first 2 weeks. Because i just felt weird. I knew something was wrong. When I saw the test i knew it was all over for me. I never wanted this to happen I planned to have kids as late as possible. I knew i was to young for this. I am now almost 4 months pregnant. I still hate the idea. Im not excited at all. I am very mature for my age. I know that sounds stupid and unbelievable but I have my own house, my own car, I have at my first job for 2 years. I am scared to DEATH! But i have alot of support from friends and most of family. I have not told my real dad or grandmother. Yet but im 18 in 2 weeks so it will come soon. I was also thinking about the abortion option. I had the appointment set up and the $550 it was going to cost. But i realized the it was my mistake and know i need to take resposibility for my actions. The father of my child is very happy and is also straighting up and found a better job. We have been together for almost 2 years. I think it will all be okay in the end but Im still scared. I dont know much about being a mom but my friend melody said that my motherly insticts will kick in. Lol We hope.

People who say this:
"but I can't really see my self using an abortion as a way out of something I got myself into. "

really mean that they want to have a baby.

In some cases, having an abortion is the most responsible thing a person can do.

aochriss i will never understand your way of thinking. i believe there are some cases in which abortion is right but they are few and far between. what about adoption? I know that there are many people out there that would love a baby and are unable to have one, why not allow them to have a blessing like that and destroy it in such a hurtful way? I would personally never give a child up for adoption, but that is always an option. saying that quote does not mean that you want to have a baby, it means that they dont just want to take the easy way out of something that they did. she is owning up responsibility for her actions and that takes a lot of guts to do.

Having an abortion is not an easy way out of anything. She is not only owning up to the responsibility of getting pregnant, but she is always creating (statistically) poverty for her child.

Teen moms may think they are being responsible by keeping the child but you know what? Women are more responsible not having children they cannot financially or emotionally support. I'm not advocating everyone run out and have an abortion, but they should be using birth control. If they can get it for free in nearly all cases (planned parenthood), unintended pregnancy should not be an issue.

i understand this but at the same time it does happen even with birth control. birth control is not 100% effective and if it is ineffective it can cause a pregnancy. Yeah it may be a lot tougher to be a teenage mother but poverty is not always the case. It all just depends on your situation. there are people that dont have children living in poverty. Personally, I think that most of the teen moms on here are doing a good job. I also understand abortion is not emotionally easy and i shouldve worded that another way. once you get pregnant any way you go is really a tough way but at the same time it can be rewarding if you are willing to take the struggle and turn it into something positive and make your child something that makes you a fighter in life.

Pregnancy does happen with birth control, true, but not at the rate we see it happening on this board.

I have raised a child to adulthood and I was a teen mom. I was 16. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The road is harder than anyone *thinks* it is going to be. And it isn't just about being a teen mom, it is about being the youngest mom in your child's school, about the constant prejudice you face when you go to the grocery store, the judgments that you must be a bad mom because you are so young. NOT TO MENTION the fact that these cute little babies grow up, they become the teenagers you are today. And the whole cycle starts again.

I advocate children being children and living your life (and what a fun life it is!) until you are mature enough to have your own health insurance, buy your own cribs, drive your own car, can vote, can drink, can be an adult.

i really was not trying to start a debate with you mabel. This is just my opinion. it is nothing more and nothing less. I am not a doctor and i cant say what its like to be a mom at 16. I didnt become one until a few months ago at 18. that is all i can say is my experience. that is all i am trying to say and my point of view is all that i am trying to express. I guess Im just lucky because i havent got to those prejudices yet. My family and friends are all supportive and where i live is a close communtiy and i have not been shunned. that is my experience, i know it happens to women everyday and i was not denying that either. at 16 you are still a child in the eyes of the law. at 18 you are considered an adult. jayden will be 18 when she has her child, therfore she will be legally considered an adult. Im just saying im in this position now. and that if i can help her out as a ear to listen to her then i am willing to do so because i am at that place now.

ohh sorry to start a debate! this was posted 2 months ago, and just so you all know my mom is taking the child in as her own and helping me out. i may only be 16 but i've been fending for myself since i was 14 cause my mom has another child to deal with. but from me fending for myself, she has extra cash lying around and willing to help me and allow me to finish highschool & college so i can make something of my life. maybe i have it easy cause my mom is young as well and understand, but i could never give a child up for adoption. you don't really know who the child is going to, and i don't trust people enough to raise my kid to be a good person. and not all 16 year olds will fail at being teen moms, i have confidence !

Good luck!

Uhm, no adortions aren't responsible, they are throwing your problems out, they are killing a child whoo didnt have a chance. and no it doesnt mean they wanted to have a baby, they may of had an unplanned pregnancy and still not want to give up their baby. i was pregnant at 14 and it was deffinetly not planned but i still didnt want to give up my baby.
