It's possible... depending on the state you live in and privacy policies.
Most doctors won't tell your parents if you want to keep it private.

Chances are, if you are getting out of gym class due to a pregnancy, your parents are going to find out.

I take it you've tested positive. Right? Did you take a home pregnancy test or get one from the clinic? Being pregnant does not mean you cannot be physically active. Instead of running, you might have to walk type of thing. Swimming is great. Often there is no reason in the first few months to modify any safe activities. I know women who have jogged until their due date. I know other women who go to the gym while pregnant. Being pregnant isn't a sickness or disease.

Now, if you get a doctor to write you a note for school, you don't think your parents will find out? Every kid in school will know, you won't be able to keep it a secret. The first thing people are going to ask is, "How did you get out of gym?"

If you truly are pregnant, you need to tell your parents as soon as possible. It will be obvious soon anyway.

I've been in your same exact position, & going into my gym class my junior year I talked to my gym teacher in private. I told him that I was pregnant, & told him how I didn't want anyone else to know, but was only telling him for my baby's & my own health. I stayed in gym class, but instead of ever having to run or do some of the things that would of been more crucial to my baby, he just had me walk. Maybe my teacher was just very understanding, but it's worth a shot to try. Very Happy Good luck!!

AUSOME P.E TEACHER!!! I dont think my P.E teacher would have been so cool about it. I think Ill have to let my dance teacher know just in case...but it will probably be good for baby an I to get the exercise.

Dude
wow, deja view. today in school some chick in 10C is all like smugly, ' I don't have to play in gym becuz I'M PREGNANT!!!' Oh, how i laughed, but turns out she ewas telling the truth. what a tart. anyways, do you have a female p.e teacher? because if you do you've got a good chance on skipping out or doing minimal participation.
however it will screw up your gym mark weither it matters to you or not but w/e
Writing a note can be pretty easy if you no how to do it right. i was watching maury the other day and this girl got her boyfriend to sigh this form she sneaked out from her docters office and say she couldn't participate because she was pregnant.
I'm not saying you shoudl cheat your teachers, that's mean but i thought it was correct...
i hope everytihng comes out ok
GO VOLLYBALL!!!

Extremely eHealthy
Back to the original poster. Above all you are being very selfish about you, and your unborn child but hiding it from your parents without getting proper care.You need to confront your parents whether or not you have had prior issues. As Ive said before to another teen on this forum. Hiding a pregnancy, is not like hiding a bad grade in math. You are about to enter a whole other world, unlike the teeny bopper one you live in. The first adult step is to tell your parents, those who can help you and start the process of pregnancy. Healthy and safetly.

A doctor allows you to work out throughout your entire pregnancy. So it would be up to a doctor or not to skip you from PE in highschool, but may give you a light duty note.

Good luck on your decisions ahead.

From what I would think your parents WILL eventually find out. BUT for the gym class thing.....it depends on how far along you are.
