Congratulations!!!!
I'm so happy everything worked out well for you both in the end. Best thing you ever did ~ I bet ~ telling your mum, wasn't it?
What most girls don't realise is ~ that no matter how disappointed their mothers' will be in them, the majority will stick by them, they're not all evil.
Undoubtably their initial reaction is to be utterly, completely and understandably freaked out, and do you blame them?
All mum's and dad's for that matter want the whole 'go to college, then perhaps Uni, get qualifications, a fantastic career, THEN meet their future husband and start a family' thing.
That doesn't happen much nowadays, i'm afraid.
My son was 17 and his girlfriend just 15 when they broke the news to me that she was pregnant. (I was working at a reception desk at the time...surrounded by strangers).
They hadn't told her parents for fear that her dad would kill my son (literally) and in turn, throw her out. (A grandmother, and I wasn't quite 38 yet!!)
After picking myself up of the floor from under my desk, infront of all those people, I congratulated them and told them that she could move in with us ~ if her parents were to kick her out.
It turned out they were not as bad as shed anticipated, (although her father ~ deep down ~ did still want to kill my son).
Unfortunately, they're not together any more, but my grandaughter is now 12... and to me, the most beautiful thing that walked the face of this earth...apart from my 3 grandsons, of course, that my daughter has.
...and we all lived happily ever after.
The End.
Take good care of yourselves and your little treasure.
BigSis

i mean your bringing like a whole new life into the world i think parents should be proud of that.
sit your mum down and tell her have a little cry and explin she might understand, but sadly with my mum she wont!!!! i suppose i had better find a new home ...

have you thought of seeing a professional like a counsellor about it and hopefully they can help you.
and if your mum wants to disown you then hey every parent gets angry but if she is when the baby comes out then its a suprise.... and dude i think you need to give it a serious thought and i know its not easy.
call kidshelpline and they might be able to help you out.
please dont rush into things just take it cool and if your mum does kick you out give it a serious thought is she a good mum?
good luck and dont fall down the cliff of sadness.

There are loads of things going on with you. If you have slept with 4 boys by the age of 15 then you have developed a really bad way of relating to the opposite sex. One of the consequences of that, unfortunately, is pregnancy. Your mother may say all sorts of things and she maybe disgusted by teenage pregnancy but you are her daughter - she maybe unhappy you are pregnant but as a good parent I bet she will just support you anyway and you won't be homeless! She may rant about it when she finds out as few parents would be overjoyed to learn their daughter is pregnant at 15 but life throws up all sorts of things and as an adult she will learn to deal with it. You should talk to someone about this and what you want to do about the pregnancy - a teacher, an older sibling, a school counsellor. It is very important for your health and the baby to get antenatal care and start taking FOLIC ACID. You were mature enough to have a sexual relationship with your boyfriend and now you are mature enough to face up to the consequences which including telling your mother. In the event that she does kick you out, then go to social services. Under the 1989 Children's Act they have a legal duty to provide you with accommodation and welfare support.

reader, anonymous, writes (2 June 2007): Oh my what a situation you have got into steph.Firstly, you need to speak to someone about it, someone who you trust but who can help, then maybe they can sit down with you as morale support so you can tell your mother, i think her attitude towards teen pregnancy was just to scare you nd that she maybe angry but would want to help regardles of the decision you make,As for sleeping with 4 people at 15, i will just say that i hope you were using contraception, if not i would urge you to in future.To sum up the best advice i could give you is to speak to your mother, decide this together between you,your boyfriend and your mother. Also if you love and him pressuming he loves you, i think there is plenty of time ahead of you to think of having children and that maybe now wouldn't be the best time for both of you as children come with alot of responsibilty in feeding, clothing, caring etc. But i wish you the best of luck, and please post back with further news so we know how your getting on. x

reader, anonymous, writes (1 June 2007): Whilst i do agree with the first answer given and you should try and talk to someone close to your mum i know that at 15 that is an almost impossible thing to do, however if you want to carry on with the pregnancy then you will have to tell her and sooner rather than later. The likelyhood is that she will not disown you or throw you out as you are at the end of the day her daughter and that bond is unbreakable. If you are thinking of terminating the pregancy though this is what happened with my friend. When I was about 15 my friend was pregnant and daren't tell her mum so together we went to the sexual health clinic. Most hospitals have them on certain days where you can go along in confidence and speak to a nurse or doctor (At no point is anyone in that clinic alloweed to to call or talk to anyone about your situation without your permission). they will talk you through the options and from there its up to you. My friend decided to terminate and depending on how far you are it will either be a series of pills or a surgical procedure. It was the hardest decision of my friends life and although she still thinks about it she knows she made the right choice for her. I don't envy your situation and whatever you decide to do good luck.xx

Hello StephIs there anyone close to you that you can talk to first like an Aunt or a teacher? You really need to tell your Mum before it gets too into the pregnancy. Hopefully you can tell her with someone you can trust and that can give you support. It will be hard but you will feel so much better when you do. What does your boyfriend think of it all?
