At the end of the day life is not over just because you're pregnant, i'm 15 and 4 weeks away from my due date and coping prefectly well. I have no idea how the doctor system works in america but i would presume that you could go to the doctor's by yourself

omg ur only 15 tell me how did u parents take it how did u tell them

They wern't happy but they wanted to stand by mine and my boyfriend's decision and let me live my life. Things different in england though, we finish school at 16 so being pregnant at 15 isn't frowned upon as much as it would be where you are

oooh wow omg im scard 2 even think about telling my family but im in florida and i dont go 2 skool im working and was planing 2 move in with my boyfrind wen im 18 thats all the way in febuary tho

tell them - just tell them.
the longer you leave it the harder it is.

you made the choice to be having sex, now just tell them.

you need to make sure you get the correct medical care for you and your baby.

sure they will probably be disappointed to begin with, but it's a big shock for them and you have to give them some time for it to sink in.

the quicker you tell your family the better:) My mum and dad were disapointed in me. and im 20. But they are okay about it now so its all great. it took my mum 4months to get used to the idea! But if you are keeping your baby u do need to tell them, even if its over the phone or in a letter, cause your going to start getting a bump.
you can go to the doctors by yourself i think, well u can in england. :S dunno about where u live.

good luck anyways x

Of course you can go to the doctor without your mom. Also, doctor-patient confidentiality means your doctor cannot discuss your healthcare with your mom either.

If you decide you don't want to be pregnant, the doctor can't tell your mom about your abortion either.

If you decide you want to keep the baby or give it up for adoption, you need to get proper medical care and prenatal vitamins (available at any drugstore).

actualy you would need your parent there if your under 18 b/c when i was 17 my doctor (that i had gone to since i was 14) couldnt see me unles there was a written note from my mom (shes disabled so it may have been an exception) BUUT you can go to a free clinic without your parents. i also live in florida but in tampa but i definatly know that there are free clinics in florida. so look them up or even call 411 and ask for the jax free clinic or planned parenthood whichever theyre called. no worries about your parents. they will initially be disappointed BUT if you are completely responisble through out the whole thing then i think it will be easier for them. did your parents know you were having sex? good luck.

I completely agree with Kia. It is better to just tell your parents now. i am 17 and I am 14 weeks pregnant. My mom and I don't have the best relationship. We never have. When I told her she was disappointed and I thought it was horrible. I had already started moving out and so I thought that it was the greatest thing that she couldn't really complain to me. we get along a lot better, but it still needs work. she's not helping me so much right now, but she told me that shes just getting used to it. My boyfriend is 24 tomorrow, so I think that is a major issue in her being so mad but even if your mom and you fight it will get better. I still get scared about having a baby and I still worry about how all my friends look at me, but I am more excited about having a baby. I get my first ultrasound to try to see what if the baby's a boy or girl in two weeks. It seems like it's going by so fast. And as far as money. I don't have much either. Until we get the bills paid off we're going to get food stamps and feel like losers but it's just to help us get started. I'm trying to get a job, but not many people are hiring round here, so it's hard. But it really does get better. you can pm me if you want to talk. toodles
