Confused And Scared...
Posted: 11-03-03 15:25pm

I am a mother of twins at 20. I think I might be prgnant again and I dont know what to do or if I should keep it if I im. Im also too scared to find out if I am cause that means im going to have to deal with reality. Please help me out with some advice. I wish I knew people my age with 1 or more children cause it would be so much easier to talk to someone just like me and know how it feels to have a chid(ren). Any advice or someone to talk to would help a lot Confused

Hey. Im 20. I dont have kids, but I have two neices and they are hard as it is. I feel like a parent even though im not! I know its hard but you can get through it and there are so many programs that can help too. Well if you are, I strongly suggest you keep it. Youre scared, but not keeping it is not a good idea. Please think over that. With 3 kids, you can get medicare, welfare, fam pact...Anything. My sister gets all of the above including food stamps. She gets like 300 in food stamps a month. So it helps alot. You can look into all that. It cant be that hard. Will the father be there to help? Do you have any other help?

Hey

My sister-in-law is 21, she had triplets (sp?) when she was 19..And had her forth child a year ago. She almost got an abortion because she thought she wouldnt be able to handle it. She did decide to keep the baby and now is extremely happy she did. If I were you, id go to the doctors to findout if you're pregnant. Then decide with the father whether or not you can support this child (financially and emotionally) if you think you can, keep the baby, if not theres always adoption..Or abortion, whichever. Think about it first.

Hey!


I was in your shoes last month. Thankfully, i'm not pregnant. I am also 20 and have 2 children. My advice is to find out a.S.A.P. That way if you aren't you won't stress over nothing, and if you are, you can get prenatal care. I am here for you all the way. For real, it will be good to talk to someone in the same situation.


Take care.

I am a 16 year old teen mother, and I know what it is like to just have one child, I can just imagine what it is like to have 2 let alone 3. But I am not complaining because my son is a god child. I am praying for you and you are in my thoughts. Please keep in touch and let us know what happens!!

Sad hello i;m really new at this but I just want to know if there is anyone out there that will chat with me about my concerns. I'm really scared because I think i'm pregnant again and I don't know what to do because I was pregnant about 6 monthes ago and I lost it. It took a really big effect on me. So I don't know what to do. My boyfriend don't want to stand by me through this but i'm going to go take a test and see what happens. Please Pm me, just you can help me!!!

Thank you everyone for replying. I am going to find out a.S.A.P. I need to find out for my peace of mind and to deal with it. But I do know that god is with me and that children are blessings cause there are people who dont have any and want some. Im just scared and nervous. Ill be sure to keep everyone updated


(oh yeah my fault I pasted the same message again cause I didnt think it went through)

I'm tired of everyone saying to keep a baby, when you don't always feel that it's right. Not everyone is financially able, mature enough, or willing to give up their carefree life to raise a baby. And better yet, a child. Definetely consider the option of giving both you and your baby a better life. It will be the hardest thing you ever do, but it will be worth it!

Dont forget that if you do want to have the baby and give it up, there are lots of support out there and people to help you. You don't have to keep the baby if you don't want, or if you can't. If you need to talk pm me.
