Teen Pregnancy

[xxookami]

As you can see from my topic, I am fifteen years old and pregnant. My boyfriend wants to stay with me and help me support the baby. I do expect some punishment but I dont want her to blow up at me and keep me from seeing him. How do I tell her and explain it to her without being interupted or yelled at?

I don' know your Mom but I imagine she will be upset since this will be a life changing event for you, and she may feel that she let you down in some way. So I don't know if this conversation will go smoothly but you definitely need to have the conversation with your Mom. I am sure at 15 you both feel like you love each other and its great that your boyfriend is not abandoning you and taking responsibility. However do you have a plan to support yourself and your baby while you complete school. That is probable the first question your Mom will ask, you should have an answer. As an option you might want to consider giving your baby up for adoption. This maybe a good option if you aren't ready for the responsibility or the financial resources to appropriately take care of yourself and your child. Good luck.

I had the same situation but a year older, 16 but now I am in my mid 30's. My boyfriend wanted to support me and we were very much in love. My Mom was very disappointed in me and it was a very hard conversation. The idea was exciting sort of like having a living doll. After some soul searching I realized that I wanted to go to college, that I wasn't ready to take on the responsibility of a child, and what life would or could I provide for the child. I wasn't ready for being up all night, changing diapers, spit up, constant feeding, etc. Abortion did not sit well with me so I gave birth to my child and gave her up for adoption. She recently got in touch with me and she has had a great life and now she is a part of mine, so I know I did the right thing, By the way the boyfriend that loved me so much, we broke up the next year. I wish you well.

i am 18 weeks pregnant and seventeen when i first found out i was pregnant i was only 16 my situation is a little different because i lived with my boyfriend for almost 8 months and we dated a year before that so telling my parents wasnt as hard because i didnt live at home but i was always scared of disapointing them so here is my advise be straight forward set her down an dtell her everything before she gets a chance to say anything then deal with the conciquences

I can't say how she might react but if you have any form of a decent relationship-go to her & tell her. I just found out my 16 y/o was 7 months pregnant-she had been hiding it all this time. We are very disappointed & sad but we will support her in this. We cannot walk away as we have a commitment in her.

My mother happened to be 16 when she found out she was pregnant with me. For about a year she kept telling me that if i ever got pregnant i would have to get an abortion. Needless to say i am now preggo and 18 and i've decided that i want to keep my baby. My mother was very upset with me but things are getting better now. If you feel like you cant talk to her try writing her a letter or give her a phone call when you're not home. I know this may seem so scary but things will only get worse if you continue to wait. I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well.

Your mother will be very disapointed in you. But she loves you very much and will get over it. People are human girls get pregnant. I was 16 when I had my daugher. I told my mom at Target (I don't advise this) we were shopping and she held up a bathing suit and said oh you would look so cute in this and I just started crying. She thought I was crazy. Needles to say she did get over it. I think my dad was the hardest to tell. I could not look him in the eye for months. Long story short I have a great relationship with my dad now he loves my daughter. Your parents will forgive you what they wont forgive is if you keep the baby and keep having more and more. Have your baby and get an education. You can do it with one child, but having more will greatly decrese your chances for sucess. Good luck
