I am 14 and PREGNANT! What do I do?

Question - (21 March 2008) 33 Answers - (Newest, 15 November 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

HELP!

I had sex with my boyfriend about 2 weeks to a month ago and i have recently started feeling weird, so i took a pregnancy test prayed it wouldnt be positive and it was-i'm pregnant, you can probably tell from my age that i'm under aged, but i'm 14 just in case you can't.

I haven't told my parents, but how am i ment to? It will break their hearts.

I haven't told my boyfriend either because i know how he'll take it-badly VERY badly, god knows what he'll do the least i need to worry about is him dumping me, that's not what i'm worrying about, it's just how he'll take it and what he'll do I just don't want to ruin his life.

What am i meant to do? How am i ment to tell my parents and my boyfriend? I'm not ready to be a mum and to have a baby in my life. But I DON'T want to kill a baby's life either by having an abortion.

Please I'm desperate, what do i do?

Hii i am also 14 and in the same position. I think being pregnant is a gift god has given too us even at our age. Telling your parents is going to be a heartbreaking moment but in they end they would eventually have to accept the fact of you being pregnant after all you are their child , and you'll be needing all the support if you decide to keep the baby. Do what your heart tells you in the decision of keeping it , it'll change your life and no maybe you just wont be able to do what your friends are doing but a baby needs caring , loving , support and you 24/7. Its a life time commitment. Having a baby does not ruin your life and it is possible to enjoy life with a bay alongside.

Everything's possible

Don't give up your dreams for your future

Follow your heart

Do whats best

And may god be with you

no, sorry.....she was born on the 20th July....not quite your birthday :)

I have always adored the name Rose and have always wanted a baby girl called Rose even when I was small I dreamt of it!

Though I didn't think there was any way on earth I'd be having my beautiful baby at 14 years of age!

But hey.....it happened and it all turned out the best it possibly could :)

BigSis agony auntThanks for replying.

First of all, sorry to hear of your little one's cold, just keep her warm and smother her in kisses, and give her one from me too.

Secondly, I'm glad we got that misunderstanding sorted. Like Momma said, people just can't be bothered to read through the posts, they dive in with their opinions...and as you know, that causes big issues.

Please do keep us updated as to how you're getting on with your little bundle of joy. We're always here if you need anything.

Thanks BIg Sis for clearing that misunderstanding.

To the poster: Sorry, no I did not mean to offend you. I am sorry there must have been a misunderstanding. I merely wanted to inform people who are posting like the ones on 12 OCt, 13OCt and 25 OCt, that you have your baby. That your baby girl was born on the 3rd of AUg, no need for them to still post as if the baby is not born yet and abortions etc.(Some of them seems to not read all the postings and still continue posting as if you don't have your baby yet).

Congratulations with your baby and no, I never intended to hurt you or offend you.

I'm sorry but, seeing cos of your age n everything...I'd say abortion is the best option for you, your bf, and the baby.

If the kid is born now, not only will your youth be gone in an instant, but that kid isnt exactly gonna be brought up in a fine environment, i mean your barely a teen yourself!

I'm sure youd be a loving mother, but really, I think its best for all involved if you have an abortion and don't tell your bf or your parents, if keeping it bottled up gets to you, then talk to a councillor.

A male reader, LazyGuy Netherlands +, writes (22 March 2008):

LazyGuy agony auntThe third option is adoption. Very hard on you because you will have to carry the baby to full-term while going to school and then give it up.

But it avoids the trauma of an abortion and you can go on with your life in the knowledge you did everything you could and loving people who dearly want a child can raise you baby.

You already been to the doctor, he can do more then just check, ask him for where to turn for aid for teens with unwanted pregnancies who can advice you what your options are and help you talk with your parents.

I am concerned about how you describe your boyfriends possible reaction, perhaps it is poor grammar but if the LEAST he can do is break up with you, what is the worsed? Is he violent? I hope I am reading it wrong but if not be very careful.

Also, you ruin his life? He was the one who fucked you. It is 50/50. He is not going to be walking through school in maternity clothes, he is not going to have go through labor or an abortion, he is not going to be asked to hand this baby over after delivering it. He got it easy. Worry about yourselve.

Don't try to solve this on your own, teen pregnancies are far too common a problem but it means there are highly experienced people ready to help you.

Oh and this pregnancy is unplanned, no child is unwanted, if you choose the hardest path of adoption some couple somewhere wants this baby very much.

I am 15 and a virgin, and would like to stay a virgin till i am amrried. Though I have a best friend who is thinking about having sex, though i sscared she may get pregnant. The first thing i would say to do, is have anouther few tests, to make sure, then see a doctor privately, maybe bring a few freinds. Have you told them yet? You should, you need their support, and if they are good freinds they wont judge.

I always say, and this is wat i say to my friend,if you feel old enough and responsible enough to have sex, then u must feel old enough to have a baby. Other people may have diferent views, though this is mine. Dont have an abortion. This baby is alive and has a beating heart inside of you. Tell your parents, have the baby, then give it up for adoption. There are many families who are looking for children. Or maybe ud like to keep it?

I know you think this would ruin your life, ur parents will hate u and everyone will think u are a slut. Just dnt care about wat people say. Ur parents wnt hate you, theyll love and support you all the way and be glad that you told them. If you keep the baby and dont kill it, i will have so much more respect for you than if you kill it. It would be a brave and selfless thing to keep the baby. Too many young girls try to solve this problem by taking the easy way out, don't be one of these people.

Tho if u do chhose to abort it, make sure you are 100 percent sure, as if you're not i assure u that u will live with regret for the rest of your life

just think about itxxx

It's easier said than done, but dont panic!

First of all I want to say well done on being so brave to post a comment onto a site for others to read.

The best thing you can do is sit your parents down and talk it through with them, If you feel like you cant do this get a friend to come and help you tell your parents..if your still scared of confronting your parents then right them a letter because your parents are there for you for support and guidance.

Your parents will know exactly what to do, just make sure its okay with you first, and if your boyfriend leaves you he isnt worth it and is only after one thing. I real hope you sort it out darling!!

yes i have been to the doctors because i just couldn't believe it when the pregnancy test was positive and i am 100% pregnant.

Also we did use a condom but it broke but it wasnt until after we'd had sex that we realised, my boyfriend said to me "ah you won't be pregnant!" but i new damn well i could easily be pregnant.I just tried to convince myself i couldnt.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (21 March 2008):

OK, sweetie, this is a really hard one, and it sounds like you're trying to deal with this alone, and in shock. Calm dowm. Take time.

You might be able to work something out together with your boyfriend. You obviously love him. Also why will it break your parents' hearts? If they love you, they'll realise you're the one who needs help here. People "underage" do have sex. Your parents might even have known people who did, back when they were young. Pregnancy happens. It's natural. It has to be dealt with, somehow.

Many people who are your age have gone on to be brilliant mothers. Some of them have chosen not to be mothers, and also chosen not to feel bad about it. You have the choice right now. Can you bring this child into the world? Will you love it? Those are the most important questions and anyone who loves you will support you no matter what the answer is.

id say you should ring a helpline or something. they have ones set up for teenage mothers. talk anonymous (sp?) and they can help you. i dont know any numbers off the top of my head. but just google for a number or site.

im not going to say your stupid and an idiot. it was a mistake. but you dont have to have an abortion. you could have an open adoption. where you can still be in the babies life but wont have to be the mother figure.

i think you should tell maybe an aunt or someone older in your family you trust so they can tell you whats best and how to break the news. as for your boyfriend then if he loves you he will stand by you. if he walks away then its his loss.

sure your parents might be furious, but in the end they love you and will stand by you no matter what. its only natural theyll be mad, theyre baby having a baby. and have you gone to the docs yet to find out for sure? pregnancy tests arent 100% positive. and the doc will keep everything quiet from your family if you ask.

A reader, anonymous, writes (21 March 2008):

I guess you're in between a rock and a hard place. You don't want a baby but you don't want an abortion. The big problem is that as you're pregnant, there's a good chance that in a few months time you're going to be a mother whether you like it or not - unless you get an abortion or have a miscarriage.

Talk to your parents. Tell them what's going on. Sure, they'll blow a fuse, but they'll get over it. You'll either get their support or you won't. 50/50 chance on that. 50/50 on whether the father of this baby will do a runner too.

I bet you wish you'd used a condom now, right?

Oh well, perhaps some other 14 year old girl will read this and learn that with sex, comes responsibility and there won't be too many more unwanted or unplanned babies in the world.
