Well, like all potential teen mothers, you have three options.
First, abortion. If you are three months or less, you can have an abortion in most states. You will probably need counselling for that, though. It's not easy. Make sure that you are absolutely certain that abortion is what's right for you, if you are considering it.

Second, adoption. This is, obviously, the act of carrying the baby, giving birth, and then giving the baby up. This is also hard. But if you are pro-life but also not ready to be a mother at sixteen, adotpiuon will probably be for you. Open adoption means that you can have an open relationship with the adoptive parents you choose, and also potentially have ancontact with your baby after adoption.

Third, you can become a teen mother. This is, like the others, hard. But I get the idea that that isn't what you're considering? You seem to be keen on college and just being a kid, so I suggest you weigh your options.

Either way, you must tell your mom. Asap. There's nothing more important than that first thing. Next, you have to get an appointment with an ob/gyn.


Good luck, honey.

Great post tayziah! I absolutely agree with everything said above.

You really do need to tell your mother if you are planning on carrying this baby. If you are planning an abortion please do your research (on the clinic, not finding a bunch of false pro-life propaganda) or get a referral from your doctor.

Even if you don't want to tell your mother right away, you need to tell someone who can get you help. You need to get pre-natals and medical attention right away. Go to a planned parenthood or another free clinic, ask them what your options are and how to go about getting counselling and pre-natals, your mother does not have to know about these appointments. There is even a chance that they may be able to provide a counsellor to come with you to tell your mom and dad.

Good luck!

Hun im in your exzact postion but I have just told my parents. I told them about a week ago and they took it fine.. Obviously I dont know your parents so I dont know how they going to react, I was absolutly petrified wen I had to tell my mum but my bro and his gf had a baby at such a young age so I knew she would be supportive its just hard to get the words out... I cried when I told mum.. "no idea why" I think it was just so hard .. She was shocked but she was so proud of me to think I could tell her... When I told her she thought I was a virgin but obviously... You need to tell your parents and do it as soon you can... Im sure your parents will help ... Just be honest with them thats all you can do sweetie..
