Wait a week and do another pregnancy test. If it is still negative and still haven't go your period, go to your doctors. I am also 17 and expecting my first child soon and I know plenty of young mothers so I cant really say if 17 is too young to be a mum. Good luck and keep us posted x

I think that maybe you aren't pregnant but are late on your period.

Weight gain is common in pregnancy, but moreso in the 2nd trimester.

Sleeping on your stomach doesn't become an issue until you are showing or have a 'bump'. Not after your first missed period.

You should go see a doctor if you are concerned about pregnancy and perhaps get some birth control.

Only you can answer the question of whether you are too young to have a baby.

I've never heard of one being wrong. I think you are probably just late. Try not to stress about it too much. If your period still isn't here in another month, i'd definitely go back to the Dr. And see what's going on.

Listen im 17 as well and my baby is due next month your not too young to be a mother :|! So stop worrying and stop readin signs of pregnancy! I never found out till I was 3 months and I never had any sgns of pregnancy I could sleep on my tummy right up untill I was 4 months :| so thats no sign, just w8 for a week or 2 if you stuill dont have a peirod go to your doc you might b stressing out too much about it and that could cause your peirod to b l8 or u could just b missing a pierod, think about things like weather your ready to b a mother dont worry about what anyone else thinks! Calm down and w8 and see your doc b4 you worry xxx

Bloodwork isnt wrong unless the person reading it was doped up which would end their career...

Anyways I dont think anything after age 16 is young hey our grandparent had us at that age, the onbly thing is if you cant be indepedant and have enough money for a place to live/support the baby then you dont want to get preggo.

While grandparents may have been young when they had children, they also married for life and buying a home was less than $10,000. You can't even get a newer car for that now. When grandparetns were parents, you could get by on one income. Now, it takes at least 2 incomes to survive and a lot more to thrive in some cases.

Get an education before having children. It makes everyone so much better off - yourself included.
