I'm 16, Pregnant, And Confused...

Well I just found out I was pregnant on
the 15. And i'm all confused now. I'm
not sure when I conceived, I don't know
how far along I am. I had sexual
intercourse with a guy march 26 and then I
skipped my april 1 period. But before
that, the last time I had sex was in
december. At the beginning of jan I had
an irregular period but then at the end of
feb beginning of march I had a normal
period. I was having all these symptoms
of pregnancy in dec, jan but my doctor
said I had a flu, and also I took a home
pregnancy test and it said negative. I'm
so confused, i'm not sure where I start
counting from to know how far along I am.
I made an appointment for an ultrasound
and my doctor said it may take awhile to
get one and she will call me tomorrow.
I'm unpatient I want to know who the damn
dad is. Well if I am pregnant from
december I think I would probably be
showing by now, but i'm not really showing
my stomach just pokes out a little bit.
I'm hecka confused, can I pls get some
advice please?

Well its possible to have a negative test
and you might not be showing. I know I
didnt show with my first til I was like 5
months but I would bet it was the most
recent intercourse since you had a normal
period in march

I'm 16 not 15. And yes I don't know who
the father is. I've only had sexual
intercourse with two guys in my whole life
and I just happen to be caught in the
middle of not knowing when I actually
became pregnant. Its not like i'm a
sl*t, I dont just go sleeping around with
guys. The frist guy was my ex boyfriend
and we were together for awhile and the
other guy is a close friend and one night
we got a little to comfortable and yea.
Things happen, I used condoms all the
times I had sexual intercourse, but
condoms obviously arent always durable.
Next time i'll know to get on birth
control.

Nah I wanst naming you anything just was a
little shocked but I understand wat u mean
now.. If you dont know and cant figure it
out just wait to have the dna test done..
But really try and think because thats
going to be so hard to tell your
parents... When I told my parents they
were horrified..But they got over it as
they dealt with it before..
Have you told your parents yet or the guys
that they could be a father?

Yea my mom was at the doctors office when
they told me the test were positive. She
wasnt mad just really dissapointed. She
also knows about the two possible fathers.
She thinks its the last one but I
honestly don't think it is. Just like
you nadine, maybe i'm just not showing as
much as other girls do. I think I may
actually be atleast 12 weeks or so. I
felt my body changing along time ago not
only this month. Yep my friend knows and
he thinks i'm joking around because I joke
around alot and its hard to take me
serious. Its no big deal though, he'll
relize i'm not joking when I start to get
bigger. And I havent told my ex
boyfriend yet, i'm only going to tell him
if I know for sure he is the father. I'm
not gonna wait for a dna test thats too
long. I'm just going to get an
ultrasound, after an ultrasound i'll know
for sure who the farther is. Hey nadine
did you want to keep your baby from the
beginning? How was your situation??

Oh ok.. Can you tell from a ultrasound I
never knew that?? Well I just learnt
something lol
oh well I was in a relationship but we
broke up.. Didnt really turn out that
great but im going great... We are still
keep in contact as he is the father of my
baby..We dont see each other all that
often but he has been a great help and
very supportive he wants to be there which
is a bonus I guess as well.. I would be
quiet capable on myself tho, I have quiet
a good income and my parents are doing
anything to help me..They bought me many
things (cot,playpen, clothes and supplies)
I got pram and alot of clothes as I know
im having a little boy!! Not sure on the
name yet so far tho..
Yeh I have wanted to keep him from the
begining I knew was going to be a
challenge but its what has happend and im
not going to back away from it.. He is
apart of me now.. He not even born and I
dunno were I would be without him.. He
like my plate holder lol sounds mean.. I
eat dinner n plate can sit on my belly
hehe!! Its cool

Lol she will know after the ultra sound
because it will show how far along she is
and depending on that she can deduce who
the father is.

oh that sounds so exciting. You are
lucky, I want to have a boy...I hope its a
boy! So you don't have a name yet, that
sucks. Its hard trying to pick out a name
that you and your partner both agree on.
You are very fortunant to have the farther
and your parents helping you out. I
believe I will have the same, therefore I
have decided to keep my child...Well
actually my mind changes all the time, and
I hate that but i'm sure I will make the
right decesion in the end. You are going
to be 17 when you have your child, thats
cool I will be 17 also. I also have a
job, I only make minium wage but thats
better then nothing. The only thing that
sucks is I just got the job and I will
have to spend all the money on my child
and I was looking foward to finally being
able to buy things for myself. Thats ok
though. I'm homeschool and I plan on
going to college and then med school. Hey
are you going to college, yea I hope you
do. Don't give up, alot of girls give up
and its so sad. I don't see myself being
in a relationship with either of the
possible fathers but you never know maybe
someday we'll work out and be one happy
family. If not as long as they are in my
childs life, i'll be happy. I wish you
the best of luck and we should talk
sometime. And lol at plate holder, I
guess having a big belly does come in
handy hehe.

Lol its not very big just bump really but
it still sits there..I live in australia
so I will be going uni yeh... Im not
giving up.. We get the single parent
pension over here depening on your
incoming wage you get a certain amount and
when you have a baby you get a certain
amount which is $4000 a baby... Which is
a great help.. So I got mostly everything
I need now I just got to save and get my
life on track really.. Im not giving up
no way this is just a little speed bump..
Not gunna stop me from what im doing..
The father is helping yes.. But not as
much as he was at first my mates have had
babys before and the fathers have backed
off not saying he will do that as he is
much more stronger then they are as well I
think his parents will kick his arse lol..
We been talking about getting back
together which really would be great I
dont really mind wat happens would be
great to have my boy grow up with his
father by his side although!!!
I have got some names the list is :
oscar
cooper
charlie
brodie
jai
james
not to sure on wat I want.. I just want
somethign different that stands out tho..
I want james as middle name tho loves that
name :)
you sound really strong and im glad you
are.. As your baby needs you...Cant wait
to find out what your having.. :)

Wow 4,000 seems like alot, that can buy
you alot of baby formula and clothes and
stuff. I'm not sure about any options
here in america. I'm going to look
into some things because I need alot of
help. We are not rich therefore it
will be hard to bring another life into
this world and take care of all its needs.
So how do you feel about giving up
your social life. Well I mean not
being able to go out and hang out with
friends when you want to. That sucks
because I am kind of the go out and party
hard. When I turn 18 now I wont be able
to because i'll be to busy taking care of
my child. I guess life isnt all about
partying but I want to party while i'm
young, I don't want to take care of a
child. Well about time i'm 21 I bet
i'll be able to party because i'll
probably be in a relationship by then and
i'll leave the baby at home with my
boyfriend lol.
So your boyfriend is the on and off type.
If hes been helping you he will
probably continue on and on especially if
his parents are making him. Can't
escape parental unit really. I bet as
soon as the baby comes he will see him and
relize what he made and it will make him
so happy that it will be hard for him not
be there. Thats so good you've been
talking about getting back together. I
think its great when a child has two
parents who are together and love
eachother and give the child the most love
ever. Yea I know what you mean, I
think all boys need some kind of father
figure in their life. Its always great
to have that.
I like the name brodie, its not common
here and its different. I'm actually
considering that as a name for my boy now
because I like uncommon names and thats a
good one. I'm going to put that on my
list. So you like james, what is it
about james?? There are so many james
in my neighborhood i'm like whoa.
Yea thanks, you seem very strong to.
You actually are making me feel like I
should keep my baby because you are
showing me that no matter what you are
going to be their for the child. I
love to see that kind of stuff.

To tell the truth I dont really mind not
having a social life I mean yeh I am
having a baby young but once the child is
grown up and whatever I can go out.. And
you still can go out of course just not
how you used to.. 2 of my mates have
babies themselves and to me I think they
are very selfish they are always leaving
there babies with there parents never
really being there..To me they can be very
irresponsible...You can still go out too
just make a night a month of every 2 weeks
or something or even a girl nights in..
It dont really bother me my main focus is
on him now.. So I cant do much about
that.. Im happy that im pregnant young as
I wont be a older mum in my 40's still
having to worry about 3 yr olds and
watever I can kinda do what I what by
then... And live my free life.. Not
saying I wont have anymore kids but not
for another couple of years at least
anywayz...
I like to think that what im doing is the
right thing coz I do belive it is.. I
look up to anyone who can do adoption
althought as well.. I mean it is a really
big step and to give sumone else in yur
life.. Such a great miracle is great
best of luck

4000 isn't really as much in australia or
england as it sounds to people in
america.
We pay such high taxes on goods and the
cost of living is so over inflated that
you wouldn't believe.
You'd probably get more for $1000 in usa
than what we could get for 4000 (aus
dollars or uk pounds)
however, it certainly isn't to be sniffed
at either.

hey you can still go out and party, just
not as often as you want. Although im not
doing too bad lol. I go to a club/party
every friday night at the moment. I leave
my son at the sitters for the whole night,
so I can drink and not worry about having
to come back sober so I can look after
him. None of my mates have kids so its
difficult to socialise with them unless I
go out at night where they go. Im
starting to feel a little bad about it..I
dunno its like I want to be his mum and I
enjoy it but I also want to be a normal 17
yr old, or do normal stuff for my age
which is going out and I really dont want
to lose my friends. I might cut it down
like nadine said to one night a month or
every 2 weeks or something...

get into clubs?

yea see that is what i'm talking about. I
really want to expeirence having a really
fun life while i'm young...This makes me
want to not have the baby because I will
be giving up my social life. I always
want to party, i'm counting the days till
my 18 birthday so I can really party hard
and then around 25 have a kid and settle
down and be responsible. I'm really
immature and I find it hard to be serious,
I just really enjoy being a teen and I
don't want to change that. I know if I
have this baby all of that will change, I
wont have time for a social life and that
kind of sucks. I don't want to be rushed
into being an adult. And no sex is not an
adult thing.
