my emotions are all running high.
would you keep or get rid?

i dont see why i shud have 2 punish an unborn child, but im scared my parents might hurt me when they find out.

Getting an abortion or not is 100% up to you and your boyfriend. Other people can give you advise but no one can make the right decision for you.

many parents will threaten kicking you out and things of that sort but those are usually pretty empty threats. If you a REALLY concerned you will be homeless or will be in real danger by telling your parents than your options become more limited. Otherwise it's best to tell them, unless you do have an abortion, they will find out sooner or later.

There are many things that need to be considered before having a child. Such as daycare for instance. Who will be watching the kid while you (and/or your bf) are in school / work? Are you going to have the energy to take care of a child anytime your not at school/work? Can you get proper medical attention for the baby and yourself? I'm not saying it will, but what if you guys break up? among lots of other questions.

Obviously if you are homeless, you will not be able to maintain a kid.

Also, you should already be talking to a doctor regardless of whether your talking to your parents about it.

There are many prenatal things you must take care of while pregnant (such as making sure your iron, calcium, vitamin levels are where they are supposed to be)


I know it's probably one of the most frightening things to do, but unless you feel you'd be in physical danger if you did, the best thing you can do is tell your parents.

No doubt they'll probably be mad, but they'll get over it, and your going to need their help. Especially with all the doctor visits, insurance forms, etc.

Now don't quote me on this, but i believe there is a law that because of doctor - patient confidentiality, they can't tell your parents if you have an abortion.

Post again and let us know how things go and what you guys decide to do. (^_^)

i am in a situation like you.
however, im not sure if i am pregnant or not yet.
i will have to wait until i get my period.. if i even get it.

i know you dont want to be homeless but i think the best thing is to tell your parents.
if not, ask someone to take you to your local doctor or pregnancy center and they give you free checkups and stuff.
i havent been to one, but people i know have.

just get someone you can trust to take you.
i know this is hard on you... because i could possibly be in the same situation a few months from now.


now, i need your advice---
me and my boyfriend... did it.
without protection or anything...
he says he didnt "let go" but im not sure.
i trust him and everything but still, you never know cause he might have not noticed if he did or not.
since you are 2 months pregnant so far, can you let me know what happened to you?
like, symptoms and stuff?

its only my second day after having sex..
but im getting weird stomach aches. sometimes i feel like its a mental thought. but im not sure.
some cramping too. but i really dont know. and im worried.

2 days is usually WAY too soon to notice any symptoms, but cramping, mood swings, vomiting, things like that are all common symptoms.
