Pregnant And Seventeen - condom broke - what to do?

you need to make an appointment with your doctor and theyll give you your options on what to do next. but you should tell your mum. she will help loads

I've been going to the doctor. i'm taking pills for iron. Is it possible for me to have a healthy baby with out taking prenatal vitamins?

yes you can have a healthy baby. I didn't take vits because they made me ill. My dr. told me to stop taking them

it doesn't really matter either way, it's advised but not a necessity, i only took folic acid not a full prenatal pill

You need to tell your parents. You'll have to eventually, might as well do it now. After that, make a doctor's appointment.

If you are already 3 months pregnant, you need to tell your parents. There is a lot to be done in the next 6 months to prepare for the baby. Like furniture and clothes, etc. You'll need a support system.

What does you boyfriend have to say?

tell your mom dude
youre going to have to tell her eventually so tell her now and stop avoiding it

dont run from the things in life that youve created
you made your bed
now you have to face it

"We used a condom, but it broke. What should i do ?"

I don't even really understand a question like this, especially from a 17 year old. Does she mean, literally, what should she do right now, or tomorrow? Or does she mean in an over all sense, like what are her options?

R you keeping the baby?

I am going to go out on a limb and say your mom may already have an inkling you are pregnant. My mom knew I was pregnant at 16 before in fact we were on the phone when she told me I was pregnant. Took a test and sure enough I was.

Best thing you can do is just tell your mom. Yeah its scary not knowing how she will react but usually any mad feelings are short lived. My mom took things pretty well when I told her. Next you need to think out your options. Do you wanna keep the baby? Are you emotionally ready to be a mom, mature enough to be a mom, can you support a baby?

Or do you think its best to adopt the baby to someone else? It does not have to be a stranger it can be family if someone is willing to help in that way.

Best of luck and keep on going to the doctor.

I found out with my first at 17. My mom figured it out. It's an instinct I think. I know it's hard but you need to tell your family so you can make the right choice for you. Is the father around? Have you told him? I kept my daughter and it was the best thing I ever did but that dosent' mean it's right for you. Adoption is always an option and there are lots of options there too! Good luck and message me if you would like!

princess6591, So the father of your soon to be baby is now your ex? What happened?

You said you had a hard time deciding what to do, so why did you decide to have it and keep it? (I'm assuming that last part.)

LoLz...my mother knew as well. Or, I should say, my mother was suspicious and my grandmother could smell a pregnancy a mile away. Tell your mother. She's obviously been through all this, and her guidance/support/advice is soooo needed. And it's not just cause you're a teen; that kind of support is necessary for almost all first-time-moms.

You NEED to take prenatal vitamins. You NEED the calcium and the folic acid and the iron. Teenage mothers are one of the highest groups at risk of anemia (I have it, it's not fun). Since my first pregnancy, I've taken a prenate + an iron supplement (at doctor's advice, I add). Even if you just go to the store and buy OTC prenatal vitamins, it will do so much good.

Also, next doctor's visit, ask about fiber supplements. The iron has a nasty habit of causing constipation, especially during pregnancy (and constipation can lead to hemorrhoids, which are ALSO more common to develop during pregnancy). Taking the extra iron, you, more than ever, need those 25 g of fiber every day to keep your system regular.
