Hi there, my names Lindsay. I'm looking
for a place I can get support and advice!
Yesterday I found out I am pregnant, after
feeling odd for the past week of a missed
period, so I guess that makes me 5 weeks.
My boyfriend, who's 19, knows and is being
very supportive. We wanted to get married
further down the road before long before
we found out, we love each other very
much. We're firm believer's in "everything
happens for a reason" though we were not
ttc. I plan on finishing school, I go to
high school (Junior year this year) and
beauty school part time. I plan on
finishing up online for my senior year,
did anyone else do online school? We're in
a good situation financially for the most
part as well and can move out if
wanted/needed. I'll be 18 by the time the
baby is born.
Anyways, what I was wondering is how you
all told your parents, if you were able to
get to the doctor and use your insurance
before your parents knew, and if you
continued your schooling and where!
Ah, sorry for the life story. I'd really
just like to have some peers to talk to

Also, did any of you marry the father of
your child to help as far as financial
reasons besides for love? I don't know
whether we should wait or not, but we're
not worried about the timing.

hi, im alicia. i got pregnant at 17 too. i
was a senior though and i had my
beautitful baby girl right before i
gradutaed (seriously like 2 weeks before
lol) my mum was acutlay the one who bought
me the test, so she already knew, but i
guess im different then most people
because my mum had knew about it when i
first started having sex lol. i cant
answer your question about insureance
because my mum already knew and
TECHNICALLY i had my own insurance (i had
state insurance and my name was the only
one on the card, not my mums so i could
have gone alone to anything). i also
married my daughters father, we had been
talking about marrige before i got
pregnant, and exactly 20 days after i
turned 18 we got married. we did it
because we loved each other, it had not
finachial reasons, although after we did
it we found out it opened a whole lot of
resources (hes in the navy so he gets
extra pay for housing or we get a "free"
rental house from them)
congrats and good luck

Dont do it over food,i told my mom over
lunch and the food became sickening to
look at. Truth is moms know even if you
think they dont. Its hard to determine the
best place and time and with me i just
blurted it out. It was the hardest thing i
have ever done but its also the most
relieveing, i understand your stress about
it but if your firm on keeping the baby
and you know what you want dont let any
one change that! Good Luck!

Hi welcome to the forum. Do you live with
your parents or on your own, I know youre
only a junior in highschool but some
people just dont live with their families.
I flat out told my mom, yes I am pregnant.
She had the feeling though that something
was wrong. Parents usually can sense those
type of things. I got pregnant just out of
highschool when I was 18 years old. You
need to be honest and upfront with your
parents and the sooner the better.
ESPECIALLY if you are on their
insurance... Have you scheduled your first
appointment? Just sit down with your
boyfriend and come up with answers to all
their potential questions and if your
adiment about keeping this child... then
be prepared... not all parents take it
well... but youre about to embark on a
long journey and need to inform them asap.

Hello and welcome to the forum. My name's
Rose and i'm 18. I had my beautiful boy at
17. I am still with the father of the baby
and we're currently having another baby,
due july. We are engaged to get married
next year.
I told my mum via phone a month after i
found out i was pregnant. I was at my
boyfriends at the time and too scared to
tell her face to face. Bobby's mum already
knew at the time. If i could change that,
i would've told her face to face

my mom found out the worst way possible.
she was bowling (i used to work there) and
my old manager (jerk off) went up to my
mom and said "congrats on the new baby"
and then my mom called me and asked if it
was true and i had to tell her yes. she
was so upset with me due to the fact that
i didnt tell her and im 2 months along.
she was also upset at the fact my brother
new before her. so my advice is..tell her
before anyone else does. thats the worst
phone call you can ever get in your life.

you shouldnt tell other people besides
like the dad before your parents know!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I still
haven't told her yet. I'm going out of
town for the day with my boyfriend on
Saturday and I figured I'd write her a
long letter explaining everything and
leave it for her with a book to help her
along. I read thats a decent way to do it,
so I give her time to cool off.
I do live at home, and am on my mom's
insurance.
I think my mom kind of knows somethings
up, although she's been overly nice to me
lately and I don't feel like my mother
would react that way if she knows, so its
odd! But I guess its good none the less.
Anyways! Anyone have any really good home
remedies for morning (noon & night!)
sickness? It hits me worst around 5 pm and
I get extremely cranky because I have no
idea how to fix it!

I don't think morning sickness is fixable.
If you do find a cure, you'll be a
billionaire, lol!

Ah! We're really close together. Did you
have a wedding or just a court marriage? I
really want a wedding but my man and I
have a winter wedding we've been planning
for awhile & the baby will be here
right before that and I'd really like to
be married before that! We might do both
but I just want the wedding to be the only
time. : \

Well morning sickness can't be fixed but
what you can do is eat something veryyy
slowly and drink water make sure you drink
water with flouride in it because your
teeth will be horrible later on because
the baby is taking all your calcium.
Atleast that's what my mom told me to do.
Also eat crackers or bread.
