How far along are you? Is the baby already born?

If you are under 20 weeks pregnant then abortion may be a safe option for you that won't ruin your life. If you're against abortion then you could consider adoption. Both options let you go back to your life before the unwanted pregnancy began, which for someone your age is often a good idea. You still need to finish school and go to college and get a strong career before raising a child.

IF you plan to finish the pregnancy then you must tell your parents. Hiding a baby bump isn't easy, and you're going to need transportation in order to get proper pre-natal care so that the baby is born healthy and can go to loving parents (or possibly stay with you if you want to keep it).

If you need sources for women's clinics I can help you find some in your area, and help you avoid false clinics that will try to guilt you out of aborting if that's the decision you want to make. You don't need someone shoving their opinion down your throat and making you feel worse: you need someone who cares.

you have options
you need to talk to som,eone about this
abortion? adoption? if you CANt do this by yourself then you do have options and you can get help.

Hey, I know you're scared. Have you told your parents? If they offer to help you or if someone else you are close to offers to help that could bring you relief. Or you could go with adoption. There are two types of adoption. Closed adoption is when you don't want future contact with the baby. Open adoption would allow you to visit the baby as they grow and see how they are doing more easily. Google search for an adoption agency in your area. They provide services free of charge for you and will sometimes pay any medical expenses.

The following is definitely a biased view but these are people who had abortions and now regret it...

If you consider abortion, make sure you are completely informed.

Just a reminder to keep this from being a debate: most women who fully make the decision to abort by themselves and truly know it is the right decision for them never regret their abortion. 70% of all women who abort never regret the decision.

However, if that's not what you feel in your heart is the right decision, then it may not be the best choice for you. In which case, dayiscoming2006 has some excellent advice about adoption.

The best advice I can give to you right now is to avoid biased sites and clinics. You need to make your own decision without anyone trying to guilt you one way or the other. You need the real facts.

I would say that every site/clinic is biased. Many sites/clinics try not to be but they are likely still biased. In my honest opinion you should look at sites/clinics from those who are both pro life(baby) and pro choice to make the right decision since then you will know both sides of the fence.

Pro-choice sites will only present facts. Many pro-life sites have emotionalized images - many of which are fake and/or mislabeled. I deal daily with the lies that are told on pro-life sites so I do not consider them a reputable source.

Again, I urge the Original Poster to find real information. Wikipedia would probably be an excellent and unbiased source for abortion.

I agree with Eiri. The most bias sites i have seen are those made by anti-choice organizations.

do what you feel is best for the baby and you
and i completly agree with Eiri and iridescent_opal

If you would like to talk more about your situation or the decisions you need to make, I would love to talk to you and give you support in any way I can through my words. Sometimes it helps to talk. I hope for you the best.
Private message me any time if you want.

Another thing, my sis was 17 and in high school when she got pregnant and my parents are kind of scary I would say but she told them and it was a little hard at first but they accepted it and my sister had her baby and kept it. Things will work out one way or the other. If your parents are not accepting, there may be other friends or family that may be able to help you and I believe government places are out there to help people in your situation.

Some churches might also be willing to help.

hi i kinda know how you feel i was pregnant but miscarried when i was 19 i was so scared and the guy was horrible about it.
(i can tell you more if you private message me)
i know what its like to have no one to talk to its very lonely and scary. if you absolutely cant handle it abortion is best as long as your willing to go through with it. and adoption is always good. but if you cant decide what to do your going to have to tell someone.
