Q: I Am Really Scared..

Ok, here is my problem...I am 15 and I recently found out that I am pregnant. I told my boyfriend and he totally freaked out. I haven't talked to him since..I also had to tell my parents, which was horrifying. My mom didn't know that I was having sex..Let alone unprotected..And my dad was very disappionted. I talked to my mom about abortion, although I wasn't to keen on the idea...She said that it is my decision...I do not know what to do!! I am really scared, I mean, I am only in 10th grade and I have no way of caring for a child. I do not want to have an abortion, my best friend's sister had an abortion and I couldn't belive it! I guess I just don't like the idea of killing an innocent child.. I am 6 weeks pregnant now and I have been thinking of adoption. I think that would be a better decision..I need some advice! Can somebody please give me some advice on what to do? I am really scared...

I agree with you on abortion, no innocent child should get killed cause mom & dad mess around! Well, adoption would never be an option for me but if you wouldn't be able to take care of a baby then that's the next best thing to do. You get to choose from people & get updates on your baby every so often but i'm not 100% sure how it works. Now another thing to think about though is what are you going to think after you see your baby? Knowing that that's your blood & flesh but is going to someone else. It's completely your decision, and no one can help you with that. Good luck. <33

You play you pay!

That's what I was always told by everyone, it made me realize how cold hearted people are. I'd never be able to get an abortion ever, I mean yeah it's crossed my mind, but only because it was an option I could of taken.

My sister got an abortion when she was 15 & I remember, I hated her for it, I didn't speak to her for weeks. She ended up getting pregnant again when she was 17.

Now, i'm 17 & 5 months pregnant, and can't imagine what i'd do if I didn't feel my son's kicks. I'd feel incomplete with myself.

You know you're baby's heartbeat starts beating 26-29 days after conception? Most of the time, girls havent even found out their pregnant this soon, which makes them get an abortion while the baby's heart is beating.

Anything that has a heart feels, and it's no different from killing an actual person.

You're bf may just need time to think things through. It's a big blow for him too you have to remember. When I told the father of mine he said three words and then I didn't hear from him for almost 2 weeks. He just needed time to think of everything through and now we're trying to work everything out.

No one can tell you what to do, I just know that I could never have an abortion and I know that going through 9 months of having a child grow inside you and becoming apart of you I could never give it up either. I'd feel too connected. But you have to decide what's right for you. If you're not ready for a baby then adoption is the best option, but a lot of mothers find it hard to go through with it once they've seen their baby.

Thank You
Thanks everyone for all your help! I actually have spoke to my boyfriend since, and I have some good news! He has decided that he wants to be a father and care for our child. He says that he may only be 17, but he does have a steady job, and that he couldn't bear giving up his own flesh and blood. I am starting to get excited about having a baby, but also a bit scared...Our parents have agreed to help us in the process. Some of my friends and family are kind of angry at me, and insulting me to my face, saying that I am only a stupid child, and I would never be able to care for a baby. I guess I can understand a bit what they are saying, but at least I am trying to be the best mom that I can! I just hope everything goes well, and that it is a healthy baby...I think that it would be amazing to fell the baby kick..I can't wait. Thank you again for your help. I will keep in touch with updates :) I am also looking for some baby names, if you want, you can suggest some!

I am soooo proud of you girls for keeping it, un-planned or planned. And when you walk down the street with ur big bellys one day dont be ashamed or care what other people are saying, be happy that ur child who will love and depend on you is soon to come, and they are the ones who are missing out on something so wounderful. I want to get preg, but my bf dosnt :cry: he does want one but yet he dosnt, he wants me to complete school, but I can just take a semester off and come back. I would just graduate a semester late!
