To the women that can understand,
I am 3-4 weeks pregnant for the 3rd time in my life. I am 19 years old, a sophomore in college and have a very hard decision to make. When I was 16, I had my first abortion. It was my choice because I knew I was too young to have a child. Two years later, I got pregnant again due to emotional instability and was forced by my mother to get the other abortion. Now I come home for Christmas Break, from not seeing my boyfriend since August, and now I’m pregnant.
I am scared out of my mind. My mother said next time I get pregnant, I got to leave her house. I want to finish school and also have my baby but I know my mother will not go for that. I feel like if I have one more abortion, I will not be able to have children ever again.
I don’t know what to. I’m 19 and I want to live my life with my child but I need my mothers support.
Mkay, so I really need help.
Me and my friend usually start around the same time, but she had her’s and I still haven’t had mine.
I usually start around the end but I still haven’t and I have been feeling like I am going to for bout 2 weeks and never have my breasts have been hurting and now lately, I have been bleeding but not like my period and it only a lil bit…
What should I do.?
Hello, I’m from the UK, I’m 14 years old and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant, I’m around 5 weeks gone.
I’ve told my mother and she has supported me really well. She’s on about me having an abortion without telling my father. I’m really confused because in some ways, I want to keep this child but my father with go absolutely mental, I mean mental if he found out. My boyfriend is much older than me and my parents haven’t met my boyfriend. He wants me to keep the child too but nobody can find out it’s his.
Please can someone help. I’m going out of my mind.
I’m 17 years old. I’m engaged to the most amazing guy ever.
I had a miscarriage when I was 15 with my ex-boyfriend who was also 15. I was almost 2 months pregnant and I’m pretty sure it was a little boy. He never wanted me to have it to begin with. But now, me and my fiancé are currently trying to get pregnant. And I can’t wait till it happens for us.
That’s just a little bit about me.
I am 15 years old, and I am 35 weeks pregnant. I am due on Feb. 3!!
I am scared to death. I can never think of anything positive. I’m alone the father of my unborn child does not want anything to do with him/her. Yeah by the way, I don’t know what it is going to be yet either. When I found out I was pregnant, I could not do anything but sit there and cry and ask myself why did this happen to me!! I thought about adoptions and abortions but since I had sex and got pregnant, it’s my job to take care of this child!
Well, things have changed even though the father isn’t here. I am trying to deal with this the best way I can I have friends and family that are supporting me and helping me! Every day when I wake up, I just sit there and think wow! This is MINE! Nobody can take it away from me. I am in total control! I make the decisions… Yes, it hurts and I have no money, no job, still in school. But I know everything will be okay as soon as I see this baby how wonderful it is going to be, and how it is going to grow up and make something of its life! Now I’m really looking forward to having this baby!
Yes I’m young, but it was my decision to have sex so this is the outcome and I’m ready to take anything and everything that comes my way!!
So… I had what felt like a urinary tract infection and a yeast infection that was bothering the hell outta me so I asked my mom to set up an appointment with my gynecologist. My gynecologist was on vacation so I went to the stand-in doctor. I was stupid and I had been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend of a year and 2 months. This was not the first time that I had a UTI and yeast infection at the same time so I asked the doctor’s assistant to test me for STDs. I do the urine sample and blah blah blah…
The doctor comes into the room and asks me, “So what kind of contraception are you using?” and I tell him “None. I’m allergic to latex… I brought the non-latex condoms but it didn’t feel the same so I didn’t push my boyfriend to use them…” The doctor said, “Well, it’s not working for you because your pregnancy test just turned positive.”
I was shocked. Of all the times that I worried that I might be pregnant, the time that I don’t worry, I get caught by surprise. I said, “You’re lyin’!” And the doctor replied, “No, I’m not. I’m serious.” He goes on to get the ultrasound to see how far along I am and does some blood work and he tells me to call back the next day. I did the preg calculator on this site to estimate about how far along I am and it seemed very accurate to say that I am 11 days pregnant.
SO… I talked to my boyfriend about it face to face the day I went to the doctor. He literally stop dead in his tracks (we were walking and talking) and he said, “WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO??” He ask me this a good 5 times until I yelled at him “I DON’T KNOW!!!”
Here’s my issue:
My boyfriend wants me to have an abortion. Unfortunately, there’s a stigma in his family of all the kids are born to single families. His father is extremely Jamaican (No disrespect–my mother is Jamaican too) and my boyfriend highly doubts that his father would let him stay with me or see me if he told him that I’m pregnant. On the other hand, I was never to cool with the whole abortion idea and I’d rather keep the baby, despite the difficult circumstances that he/she would be born into. I personally feel like if it’s God’s will, he will let my baby have two parents. At the same time, I have aspirations for a dance career and he wants to be in the NBA. Obviously, if I had this baby, my dreams would have to be put on hold and a lot of things would have to be sacrificed, but it could work.
All I really want is to be able to stay with my boyfriend and reject abortion as an option. I would do an adoption but any kid that I carry for nine months is gonna live with me– no ifs, ands, buts, or maybes.
ANY SUGGESTIONS??????
PS. I spoke to my mom about it. My dad doesn’t know and my little sister wants to be an aunt… Not that they matter much in my decision.
PSS. I am 16 and my boyfriend is 16. We are juniors in high school.
