Don't be afraid to tell your parents. They have to know, considering you are only 14 years old and can't take care of the baby alone. I am sure they with be understanding, and that they will be upset, but, that is to be expected.

You can always put your baby up for adoption, abortion isn't the only answer. Hon, I hope you figure everything out. You are still very early on in your pregnancy, so I don't worry your head about every single aspect! Good luck!

All I can say is tell your parents you never know what their reaction may be..Because when I told my granma I thought she may kill me but nothing like that happened.

Im not as younge as you are. But when I frist got pregnant and told my mom she fliped out and started yelling at me saying I wasn't alowed to keep it. A month or so latter I found out all the thing she said wernt true and the only reason she seid them was cuz she was scared. I am now almost 5 months and mom is ok with it, she is even buying stuff for the baby and everything.

The best thing you can do is tell your parents right away, it will be easyer on you and them. Trust me.

When I asked my mom what she would do if I ever got pregnant, she said the same thing, well except for the abortion thing. She said that she would throw me out, but at 18 years old, a senior in high school, I got pregnant, and when I told her, she didn't throw me out, she cried and said I failed her. I am 20 years old now, and I still live with my mom and dad. Telling your parents is not an easy thing to do, but trust me, they will respect your decision. Yes, you may have made a "bad" decision to have sex at such a young age, but just prove to them that you can handle the consequences and the responsibility of having a kid, if you want to keep him/her. (oh and I don't think you are bad for having sex that early... I'm just saying from a mom and dad's point of view) also, the way you can tell your parents, is to have them sit at like, the dinner table... With no food, cause you never know if that would get thrown around... Just sit down with them, by yourself, if you want, and tell them. Mom, dad, I love you guys, and I have something to tell you, that will hurt you, and I hope you forgive me and support me, but the thing is, i'm pregnant, and i'm sorry. Every parent will be shocked and angry... There are soo many emotions that will come out of them, but just let them let it out, anything they tell you or ask you, just say i'm sorry. You don't want to let it get too heated, when it already is, you know? The outcome of all this will be turn out ok. I thought my life was over when I got pregnant, but my aunt told me, that it was just a beginning of a new book into my life. And she's right. With every year that my son has a birthday, is a new chapter for me, like in 3 months, he'll be 2... Well good luck with everything, and if you need advice, email me Good luck!

There is only a yolk sac developed at 4 weeks. How could you have seen your baby?

No one can make you have an abortion, but it can be daunting if your parents threaten to kick you out if you don't erminate the pregnancy. You are indeed quite young and will have no money to support the baby because you're too young to get a job. Most parents, especially moms, are very compassionate toward their daughters if they get pregnant. Some, though, are very heartless. I do know of a young girl whose mom did make her have an abortion, and the girl was very broken up about it because she had been carrying twins.

Also, how old is your boyfriend? If he is 18 or older, your parents could be major assholes and get him thrown in jail on charges of statuatory rape.

One final thing - have you ever considered adoption? You would not be terminating the pregnancy, but you would also not be keeping and caring for the baby. It's usually the best choice for the woman [of any age] who doesn't want her child but doesn't want to abort. At such a young age, your body is not yet fully developed and you may have some complications during pregnancy. I know that teenagers are at a bit of a higher risk for ecclampsia and preeclampsia, which can be fatal to both you and the child.

Before telling your parents, do consider all your options - it's your baby and you can decide what you want to do with it. Don't let your mom pressure you into getting an abortion if you don't want it. Even if she did kick you out, there are shelters for pregnant teenagers who have been kicked out. No one is going to let a pregnant girl freeze to death in a back alley.

Good luck to you - I pray you can find the answers you seek and that you make make the right decision. No one can tell you what's right, because there is no wrong choice.

Re
How did you see the baby at around 4 weeks? Even for transvaginal thats way early to actually see the baby. And theres no way you would of seen it through abdominal. I had an transvaginal ultrasound done at 5weeks 5days and only saw the gestational sac, didn't see the heartbeat or anything. I had another done at almost 8 weeks and saw the sac with a little heartbeat so small it looked like a flickering flea.

The baby at that early would look like a little bitty bean lol. It's still a baby though!

I don't know what to say really, your really young & have your whole life ahead of you, I don't know why you girls worry so much about your life being over with when you have a baby and so on. Your life gets better, you learn more at a early age & even though sometimes it gets rough you have to tell yourself its not always going to be like this, things do get better, and they will get better.

Your parents support is very very needed in the situation your in, especially for being only 14. You need your parents.... I've always been really close with my mom, I just told her one day that I thought my period was late, so we sat down & figured out when my last period was and she said okay, in the morning i'll go to the store and we'll get a test. So in the morning she woke me up & we literally took the test together.

It's gonna be hard sometimes, i'm not gonna lie to you. But your the one that makes the best of things, your the one that has to make choices not only for yourself now, but for a baby aswell.

Pm me if you ever need to talk to someone.

Well...I told my mom. Wow she freaked out and started yelling and screaming at me but I let her. I knew she was gunna be angry. She told me that she was gunna take me to get an abortion but I told her no. So she told me that I could live there until the baby was born but then I had to get out. I havent decided if I am gong to give it up for adoption yet but I am considering it. I am not fake and as soon as I get bigger...It will be a while probably lol....I will post up pics.

Well congragulations on your pregnancy and telling your mom! That took a lot of courage. I was 17 when I got pregnant and I was terrified but things turned out okay (she was very calm actually!) I am now 18 and 32 weeks pregnant. I know you will choose the best option for you and your baby. If you do choose to give your baby up for adoption you can have an open adoption, where you can choose the family, and they will send you pictures and or videos of the baby as it grows and maybe even let you have visitation rights. It's something to look into. Congragulations again :c)

i have to say i'm with you.

1. Why would you be good friends with your doctor? I mean, I know my mum's friends very well and sure they're nice people and sure i'd be comfortable being alone with them. I'd chat to them as I do with my friends. But I wouldn't say we are "good friends". It's not like your 30 or 40 year old doctor is going to hang around a 14 year old. And even still, it doesn't matter. Ultrasounds cost money. It costs money to buy the machine and run the machine and so forth. They're not just going to give out free ones.

2. She's 4 weeks pregnant, and 2 weeks late for her period. Now forgive me, it's almost midnight and I am very very tired but that means that she was only like 2 weeks pregnant when she missed her period? Or found out? I don't think that's even possible. I thought it could take up to a week after sex to even concieve and then a while after that for the fertalized egg to travel down and embed in the uterus. Anyway, it's very fast to have found out, been to the doctor and had an ultrasound. Most women are 5 or 6 weeks along before they even find out, let alone booking a doctors appointment.

1. Dont dont think that being good friends with the doc. Means hanging around them everyday and talking. Proably she has known the doc. All her life. And thats how they are friends. Some docs can bend the rules for patients like a tattoo artist can do free tattoos for ppl yeah it cost money, but they still do it.

2. I actually found out two weeks after having sex that I was preg. Just because we kind of knew it would happen. Conception can take place 48hrs after sex. And also once ur pregnant u have the pregnancy hormone in u. You dont know what kind of test she took. Clear blue or what ever, she can most likely be telling the truth, but since neither u or I know her all we have to do it believe her until something proves otherwise

but for the poster, its going to be hard but keep your head up and follow through with ur desicion. God doesnt give u more then u can handle, some ppl just like to think he has. And dont let anyone say u wont finish school or u wont succeed. U can and if u want to u will

My mother in law is a receptionist at the hospital in radiology and I got a free ultrasound with my daught and lots of pics. And technically when counting how far along you are they count 14 days from your last period so that would make her 4 weeks.
