Q: 19 & Pregnant
asked by: nasccm54 on July 20th, 2007

I am 19 years old, soon to be a junior in college. I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years a few months ago. A few weeks later I started partying again. I had been drinking and hooked up with one of my guy friends and needless to say we weren't in the best state of mind to be having sex. That was a little over a month ago. I've missed my period, been tired, and just overall I feel different (pretty much all the early symptoms are there). I've been wanting to take a test and I know I should, but I just have this fear that taking it makes it become REAL, ya know? The hardest part for me to deal with is that I'm not dating anyone so it makes me feel like people are going to judge me even harsher than if I had been in a steady relationship. The other thing is that if I am pregnant, I will be having a mixed child (I'm white and he's black). I have no problem with that personally, but I am unsure of how my parents will feel about it. I am 'allowed' to date any race, but who knows what they will think about having a child. Sorry this is so long, but I haven't talked to anyone yet so it feels good to get this all out! Thanks!!

You're definitely right, I know I need to take a test... I guess I just don't want to do it alone and since I haven't told anyone I pretty much have to. I just don't want to be by myself when I find out the results... I know, I'm being stupid! haha

So I bought a test and it's positive. I took the other one in the pack right away because I was in shock I suppose... positive again. Now what? haha I still feel like I can't confide in anyone until I make a decision (adoption or keeping it, not abortion) because I don't want anyone to pressure me into something... I just hope that if I do decide to keep the baby that my family can get over the shock of it not being 1.) with my ex and 2.) white. Confused
