Teen Pregnancy

[Phillian]

Hi
I have recently had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on four occations during the one night. I have read around the internet and it was perfect timing, if I had wanted a baby, to try. But I didn't know that and I wasn't trying. I am only 15, and I know I was stupid, but it seemed the right thing to do at the time. I am so paranoid and worried about the outcome also is my boyfriend, and although I doubt very much I am pregnant, I want to make sure all precautions are set. Could someone tell me the first things to look out for and the earliest I can take a home pregnancy test please?
Many thanks

First Response has always worked with me, I used it when planning pregnancies with my children. But you need to realize the danger of what you have done. Not only pregnancy but STD's since you are sexually active I assume that you have been educated about them and have been tested as well as your partner before sexual contact occured. If not please do. As far as symptoms go it could be anything from tender breasts to missed period, abdominal bloating, or light spotting, morning sickness is the big one. Please reconsider trying to get pregnant. You are 15 and I think way to young to be having sex anyway but I did it too so I can't say anything. I just hope that you dogged a bullet this time. Please go to your local planned parenthood or health clinic and start birth control and get some condoms. Becoming a mother isn't something you should be doing right now. Going to prom with a pregnant belly isn't fun, I know I did it. I ended up going with my best friend since my boyfriend dumped me in the middle of my pregnancy. He got freaked out and I don't blame him, he was about to become a father and he wasnt' ready. Anyway, please get on birth control and please realize that being a mother isn't just about the cute babies its about staying up almost all night for 3 months and feeding, changing, and cleaning a baby as well as spending loads of quality time with him so that he can have every opportunity to excel both emotionally and cognitivly. Its not fun to sit at home with your baby while all your friends are out having fun, or when you are out having your mom or sitter calling you to come home because your baby is sick. I was a teen mom, and I urge you to be more careful and reconsider having unprotected sex with anyone especially if you are not married and neither of you has been tested, not saying you havn't but I believe these forums help not only the postees but those who read them as well.
