I'm 16, Pregnant, And Confused...
Posted: 04-18-06 21:10pm

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

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...

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.
