Q: tests say positive
asked by: sherijames on January 4th, 2009

Hello everyone.

I will make this as short but informative as possible.
So yesterday me and my boyfriend were discussion what would happen if I ended up getting pregnant and as it turns out he thought I was.
We have had scares before but usually it was me being paranoid.
But I had symptoms, food cravings, eating more, breat size getting bigger, feeling sick to my stomach, not sleeping right and very very moody.
So we got the test and as it turns out he was right. It was positive.
I freaked out and we wont out and got another test (a different brand as well just incase the one we got was just not good) and it was a positive too.

I am scared, excited but overall unsure of what is going to happen.
I am hopefully going to get to the doctors tomorrow just to make sure that I am and I told my boyfriend after we find out for sure we have to tell our families.
I know for sure I am keeping it.

But my problem is cooping with the thought of me being a mother and how to tell my friends and mine and my boyfriend's families.

Any advice would be greatly appricated.

Thanks.

keep your chin up and don't let anyone stand in your way!! congrats on pregnancy! you're fortunate boyfriend is supportive! congrats on making the right decision to keep the baby! you are very brave! you should be proud of yourself! don't let anyone's negative comments get you down! people are stupid! people don't understand the things in life that bring true happiness, like babies! being rich, fancy cars, etc. just doesn't matter. you can still go to college, by the way. i had my kids young, and i worked odd jobs and started my own business! my boyfriend and i got married, he's in computer technology now, so things are good financially. we lived with my parents at first for about a year, then moved to an appartment. nobody thought we could do it, but we did. all of my friends, counselor at school and boyfriends parents told me to get an abortion. so glad i didn't listen to those idiots! point is, you can do it! you can still reach all of your dreams. congrats!

thanks Smile

Quick update on the situation.

I told a few of my friends (as well as some of my boyfriend's) and then I told my sister and my mother. Luckily my sister was, well not very happy but was there for me. But my mother basically told me that I should get an abortion and I am making a mistake and everyone knew it would happen.

I am trying to keep my head up for my boyfriend but its hard to keep positive.

It is hard to keep positive when you don't know what the next step to take is. First off, you need to know if your parent's insurance will cover you and your necessary medical treatment during your pregnancy/delivery so you can get an appointment with a doctor ASAP. If not, you'll need to apply for medicaid and that can take a few weeks to get all the paperwork together - so you'll need to start that right away.

Then you'll need to start reading up on all the things you'll need to learn in the next 8 months. Like baby care and all the endless lists of what you'll need to buy to support a child - diapers (about 2,000 times more than you'll ever imagine you'll need!), crib, blankets, onesies, tiny socks, sleepers, bottles, formula, etc.

In the immediate future, you'll need to know where you'll live. Hopefully your mom is going to be ok with you and a baby at home, this is the best solution since paying rent on your own apartment is expensive.

Finally, you don't keep your head up for your boyfriend - girl, you are the one who is pregnant and having the baby! He needs to be supporting YOU.

check into getting medicaid. they'll cover all the expenses. you'll be fine. have your baby and don't listen to anyone's negativity. if, still toward the end of the pregnancy you feel you are not ready to be a mom, adoption is always an option. there is nothing wrong with that. however, having a baby is wonderful and the greatest thing you'll do in your life! call town welfare office and find out about gettting on medicaid. see if your hospital has a free clinic. relax. you'll be fine. congrats!

There is a possiblity you could be pregnant if he ame in you. The plan b pill will not end an existing pregnacy. you should wait until your period is due and then test, its the only way you will know for sure.
