Im 18 and just found out that im 4 and a half weeks pregnant, and its come as a massive shock cause I really wasnt expecting it.
The baby's father has already told his family. I met them and theyre all fine with it and are really supportive. So thats ok.
Thing is I havent told my family cause I know hey will kick my butt. I need some suggestions of how to tell them??
And for the past week...Sorry to be blunt....But ive had brown, only when I wipe not even enough for a sanitary towel. Im a little concerned and have asked elsewhere and people have told me its implantation bleeding. But would it be red? Not brown
has anyone else had this? And should I be concerened?
Is anyone else 4 weeks-ish??
How far gone is everyone?
Well thanks for reading I know its long

Hi i'm .Whitley! 17 yrs old and 30 wks pregnant with a little girl!
I don't know about the brownish bleeding you're talking about. I had some brownish blood & irregular bleeding up until about my 17th wk & everything ended up being fine. I would ask my doctor about it if I were you. Don't be afraid to tell your parents. I was .T.E.R.R.I.F.I.E.D to tell my mom, but she's been extremely supportive and .I think me being pregnant has brought us closer together. The sooner you tell them, the better they will take the news. If they are mad at first, give them some time to warm up to the idea. Knowing that "hey, my baby is having a baby" isn't something easy to deal with, especially at first. Good luck with telling your family & .I hope your pregnancy goes well!

| hi cherry omg I have spoke to you a few times on the other forum. This really must be a shock for you. I'm not pregnant, sadly I lost my baby but I would of been due on 8th jan.
As for the brown blood, I have had that a bit with all my pregnancies. I'm sure it is old blood but if you are concerned maybe you should speak to your midwife. I'm pretty sure you are from the uk right? Have you spoke to your gp yet? I think as long as it is not alot of blood and/or cramping you should be ok. Congratulations though |
thanks becks, and yeah we have spoken a few times before!!
Im really sorry to hear about you losing the baby I had no idea??
How are your other two doing?
Ive had a bit of cramping but not alot, and its not flowy bleeding just a little. Im a little concerned and I dont have a midwife or number yet to ring! And im making a gp appointment tomorrow. What will happen at the appointment?
And yeah im from the uk. South actually.
And thanks whitley..Im really cr*pin my pants about telling my mum most of all! The only thing thats a sorta plus is she had me at 16. So she cant be hypocritical about it??
Oh I dont know im just really really shocked!!

| i'm going to be fairly blunt here, because let's be honest from the start, ok?
Having sex and not using any type of birth control (as per your past posts) will cause pregnancy. That is not 'shocking'. That is 100% expected. So your 'shock' at your pregnancy seems a bit over the top in this instance. Especially since you have been pregnant before. You know how you got in that postition. |
ok firstly thanks for replying, and secondly. I havent ever said that I wasnt using any type of contraceptive, cause I did, it just failed me.
I dont really want to be questioned about my last pregnancy because alot of things have happened since then and I cannot dwel on the past, but look forward to the future with my baby. Hence forth why I didnt mention it before.
Sorry to rant, but I did take everything you said in the wrong way. Pardon me if you didnt mean it in that way. Im only here for advice, and to talk to other pregnant teen mums. Not a bashing. But everyone has their own opinions, but I would explain myself to you but I wont. As you said youve read(and mislead) some of my posts, so if you wanna go back and read them thoroughly. Then be my guest.

Hi girls thanks alot for your responses. I appreciate them alot.
Sorry its taken me so long to get back. Basically I told my family, my nan freaked out and kicked me out so I had to go stay with other family. Then a couple of days ago she decided to let me come back. Its a looonnng story, and im sure no-one is interested. But its cool that I can av a chat with other girls on here
