if that 2nd pink line shows up that means it is positive. the only time the line can come up is if the pregnancy hormone is detected and you dont produce it unless youre pregnant. take another one if you want but it will most likely still be +. mine was very faint too. i hope everything works out well for you! let me know if you need anything!

mommy to a beautiful baby girlthere is sooo much help if youre willing to accept it- if theres no insurance then there is medicaid for pregnant women that takes over to the baby when it is born. if the mom has insurance then it can be used as seconday insurancefor her or the baby is covered under mom’s primary insurance for the first 30 days. WIC is a great help for formula, milk, and all kinds of stuff. if you really need help then there’s TANF- its a long list of help i mean good Lord thats why we pay so many taxes.
my 1st doctor was totally like this! he acted like my boyfriend and i were stupid and just other teen statistics. plus- i didnt like laying on the table all exposed and stuff, so i tried to keep as little showing as possible and he goes "well how did you get pregnant?" i was super embarassed. then i changed and got an amazing doctor!
hey! it is possible to get pregnant while on the pill esp when you first start using it- it normally takes 3 months to actually regulate you or provide any protection. i was on the patch for 10 months and it never regulated me- i bled for the 1st month straight and then most of the 2nd and 3rd months and was soooo miserable but kept trying to make it work. some girls it never regulates but is still helping by making the egg too weak to hold life. you may just be out of wack b/c of it and it will make a LOT of girls feel terrible or even feel pregnant. i hope that you arent because 15 is so young and so much fun! but if you are then i wish you the best of luck and will be here if youd like to talk! just talk to your doctor about everything youre experiencing b/c he may be able to give you a different dose or method other than oral contraceptive b/c yours really isnt doing anything if you forget to take it (it happens girl!) just be carefuL!

39 weeks 4 dayswell it sounds like you def could be. you should take a test or go see a doctor id say in the next week since that period is due to roll up next week. the cramping sounds bad if its not PMS which it well could be- the flutter in your stomach is weird tho b/c im sure you know since youve been pregnant before that you cant feel baby until atleast about week 15. I hope youre not that far along yet! just keep a look out for anything else out of the ordinary. best of luck!!!

39 weeks 3 daysaCtUaLLy- you could spot BUT you can also have a "period" like bleeding. like the post before says, its not really menstration b/c you are not still releasing an egg and you are not shedding the whole lining. its called decidual bleeding in most women. your body hasnt picked up on the pregnancy hormone and sheds parts of the lining where the egg is not implanted. it comes every month just like a period and can go your entire pregnancy and is still called a period. BUT DONT ASSUME IT IS A PERIOD UNTIL YOU TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! you could be having a miscarriage or getting ready to have one. good luck girl!!!

39 weeks 2 dayswell you dont know exactly when your ovulation date is unless youve taken ovulation test and what not. But no, the only time to get pregnant is during your ovulation whenever that is for you specifically.

39 weeks 1 dayi think all moms-to-be go through that stage. it gets better but its always something we worry about. the baby’s well being has just become so important and we become so attatched. but it does begin to lose some strength once we get father along and realize that the baby starts looking after his/herself a little and the dr’s keep a good eye on them. at 18 weeks your baby is getting stronger everyday and is getting close to viability if anything were to happen. everything will be fine! just ask your dr lots of questions and let him know how youre feeling! good luck!!!!

39 weeks 1 dayyou have the same chance of encountering bacteria from foods while you are pregnant as you do when you arent. however, like the post before says, you should just be careful eating things while you are pregnant where you may not have considered doing so before.
As for asking for clarification on what you can or cant eat… everything is really low risk if they didnt tell you. I brought up chinese food b/c it has MSG (i think thats the letters….pregnancy brain) but so do some places like zaxbys and places that serve chicken or meat mainly. Its just to preserve the food better and not used always and you can request food without it.
All in all just wash ALL fruits and veggies extra well and i guess reheat meat tho i never knew that- might help me this last week i guess haha
they say stay away from soft cheeses and a lot of dairy stuff but its okay as long as you make sure its pasturized.
Pretty much- dont eat anything that doesnt plainly say its been checked really well!
Dont worry so much- if you havent had a problem with eating things not mentioned by your DR all your life what are the chances you will in the 9 months you are pregnant JUST FOLLOW DR’s INSTRUCTIONS and ASK THEM!
Thats wonderful! Congrats! You are a true Stand Up Girl! Isnt it wonderful to have a great family? It makes things so much easier! I’m sorry about your boyfriend and i really hope he comes around- if he has a child and knows how wonderful children are then im sure he will! Best of Luck and let me know if youd ever like to talk about anything in your pregnancy or what not- mines almost done!

39 weeksyou shouldnt have breast discharge until about 7 months so no thats not normal but i wouldnt think anything is really wrong. just get it checked out!
Kailey
39 weeksive never heard of that- if the meat is unhealthy then they wouldnt be able to sell it. It’s already cooked and as long as its within a 2 week period after you bought it then it should be fine!! theres not so many things that you cant eat- theres always loop holes. Like they say no chinese food but you can order it without the chemicals and its fine. You’ll be fine!

39 weeksFirst response has the earliest detection- up to 5 days before your missed period BUT thats only in some women. your best bet is to take a test like this one AFTER you miss a period- any day after! I took a first response and a kroger brand one and both worked the same! best of luck!!!

39 weeksoOo babe im so sorry!! 🙁 that made me cry! im so proud of you for making the right decision and i know it must be so hard to have gotten excited and then had such a let down. now you have a second chance and can get a better guy than that b/c that was a real butthole thing for him to do. good luck and i’ll pray for what you still have to go through!
Kailey
well i definately wouldnt say relax about it- its def not impossible for the baby to have red hair even tho it is a recessive trait b/c who knows if youre homozygous for the dominant hair color you have? my parents both have dark hair and come from families like that and i’m a brunette, my sis is blonde, and my bro is a red head. sometimes its like labradors- you can get any color hair. sometimes you cant though. BUT even if the baby has red hair no one can say its not your bfs because of this possibility. good luck! i think it wont be a red head but it is possible!!

39 weeksi vote no abortion- you got a second chance (through such unfortunate circumstances) that many girls would love to have (though i know it must have been so hard!). a third however, chosen by your hand, hardly seems fair to your baby who hasnt done anything wrong. Not that you did either i might add. I know it would be very hard without your boyfriend and i dont doubt that you love him but you havent been together long at all. I think it would be a much better choice for you to choose your baby because he/she cant choose their life. Your baby will be forever and love you no matter what. On the other hand you bf’s love is not that way considering he would leave you but father the child if it was his. Even if my boyfriend of 3 years (my first and only for everything) left me i would still keep my child. You will live with the regret of the abortion forever and many couples who have abortions fall out because of all the stress. You have to make what decision you will but you do have another life inside you. having sex is an adult decision and it has adult consequences you are well aware of, now you have to make an adult decision… please dont run away- your baby, even now, needs you.
if you still consider abortion an option here is a site you should see. note please that it contains graphic images.

38 weeks 2 daysoOo girl-
not to make light of your situation (because i am certain you cared about your fish!) but a baby is so different! Its a common fear though- i have a fear that ill drop her or something awful. But, in truth we are going to love our babies and care for them unlike anything we ever imagined. God gave us mothering instincts much more defined than caring for animals or fish which we cant even touch. Dont worry about it babe! you are going to do fine! plus, babies can take a lot more than a fish and we fight so much harder to give them everything they need! i hope you stop feeling so badly about it! let me know if youd like to talk! I’m sorry about your late fishy!!Kailey 17
38 weeks 2 dayswait- have you had your baby yet? your thingy doesnt say… but if you havent you dont have to put a name down for the father. then, the only way for him to prove it is his baby is through court because you wouldnt grant a DNA test would you? he prolly wouldnt want to pay all the legal fees for that anyway.
If you have had the baby then have you let him have a paternity test? will he make you go to court for custody are just wants it right now? fight the system- show them how he will be a bad parent if you can, if hes on drugs they will make him get tested. good luck babe! i asked a lot of questions so i hope that you answer me back about them!

38 weeks 2 daysthats terrible for the baby- you cant see what the big deal is but its called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. You wont lose the baby now that you are far along but if you drink a lot guess what FAS does? it can make your baby mentally and or physically retarded- so now you have a kid you dont want and the baby could have a whole bunch of problems that you have to deal with. makes your life way easy doesnt it? you shouldnt and cant get an abortion so far along but you sholdnt be having a baby and if you are so not ready for a baby then you shouldnt have sex because thats an adult decision. youll have to make a lot of those now. i definately recommend adoption so that your baby can have a good life with people who WANT him/her and arent acting selfish by worring about what is happening to their bodies and how guys arent going to want to party with mom or mom wont get to have sex as much at parties. your baby should be the most important thing and if its not then you should care enough to not ruin the rest of the baby’s life by drinking or maybe even keeping them. so many amazing couples would love to have your fantastic child! please stop drinking for your baby’s sake- and yours so you have less problems to deal with.

38 weeks 2 dayshey girl-
loving him is one thing but you shouldnt be with him. its dangerous for you and now your child. of course you care about your baby so you should leave because that is no life for your child esp. if he doesnt even want the baby. Its too bad if he wants you to have an abortion- youre due in february so it is waaay illegal for you to have one and would be hard to just lose the baby from being hit. what you have to be careful of is getting an abruption if he hits you. if you see blood at all (since you know youre not due for a good minute) then your placenta could have detatched from a blow and by the time you get to the hospital its often too late for baby. im sorry i know that sounds horrible but its one of the terrible truths for you to be aware of. you have to leave so that you and your child have a better life. theres so much help available and you will find a guy who treats you so great and who wants a baby- then this will all seem like some distant nightmare. but get out now please!Kailey
38 weeks 2 daysStand Up Girl! its great that you know what you want! dont let anyone sway your decision! when people see how devoted you are to what you choose then they will come to respect you and your decision. dont let anyone take away what you want! best of luck to you! you can do it! we’ll always be here if you need support!

35 weeks 6 daysbabies have growth spurts at different times. mine was very small in the beginning and now shes s little over the mark (but not by much). your baby isnt that far over and they always leave a margin for error in what they tell you. your baby sounds pretty normal- itll all even out!

35 weeks 6 daysHey girl!
dont think of it as ruining yor life. as long as you dont let it then it wont. I found out i was pregnant at 16 too. I turned 17 at the end of August and I’m a little over 8 months now. It’s been a hard road but I’d like to think I’ve done well. I was crushed when I found out too b/c I knew that it would change all of my plans… but it hasnt taken such a toll yet. I’ve stayed in school (until this week when my BP shot up) and now I’m about to start homebound. I’ve kept up with all my Gifted and AP classes and balanced my QUEST internship in a hospital’s Labor and Delivery section. My family has been very supportive although my boyfriend’s family has not. He was not happy but he has been so good through it all and has stayed right by my side. I know how it is to fall in love young and quick. I fell for Michael quickly but now we’ve been together for 3 years. Everything is so scary now- we feel like we arent ready because we really are not. However, we have to be now. It’s not just about us anymore and that life inside you will quickly become the most important thing you have ever known. It’s not easy but you have to know that it will be rewarding. I’ve learned not to care what others think so much. I’m not ashamed at all but I’ve learned to be humble about it. You can always hope and pray that your boyfriend’s family comes around. It will be okay- just keep your head up and take heart in the fact that so many girls are going through the same thing as you or have already done so!! good luck babe! let me know if youd ever like to talk!Kailey 17
35weeks 4daysyou said you abstained til 5 weeks ago right? idk maybe i got that wrong BUT if its your first time then chances are that you are going to be late. i dont have one friend who didnt stress like that after her first time because it made her late- i was 2 weeks late. your body just probably took the experience funny b/c its not use to having such an "intrusion" haha- best of luck! i know how stressful the situation can be, but if you worry it could just prolong the wait.

35 weeks 1dayif tests are still saying no then i would say that you arent pregnant.if youre active or anything then you could just be a little out of whack. that sounds reasonable. last period was what almost 3 months ago? you wouldnt be feeling anything in your tummy from the baby yet- not for about another month or more. you may just need to go to the doctor and see whats going on. good luck!
