You are 14 years old and you are wishing to be pregnant!!
I assume that you have had sex.
Well you "partner" is guilty of statutory rape under Texas law (member's location) as you are no where near the legal age for consentual sex.
Why on earth are you even thinking about having a baby at this age??

This girl needs to see a doctor. This girl needs a blood test. This girl needs to let her parents know. Like Ben has said you are no where near the legal age and whoever is responsible for this, is in a lot of trouble.. Yes you probably are pregnant. So you need to share this news with your parents of your possible pregnancy.

Yes, you are probably pregnant if one test showed positive. Now, understand that there are many complications associated with pregnancy at your age.

Here is a quote from another fine member of this site on another post that details all of the complications you may have to deal with. It is not safe for a baby to have a baby.


The infants of teen parents have higher rates of birth defects, lower birth weights, more disabilities, and are more prone to die within the first year of life. Teen mothers have a higher risk of a difficult pregnancy and birth problems such as anemia, problems with their bones, emotional problems before and after birth (ie: post partum blues). You will be much more likely to deliver pre-term, which can jeopardize both your and the baby's health. You will also be more likely to have a second pregnancy within a year. On top of that, the children of teen parents are more likely to spend the remainder of their lives in poverty, and to become teen parents themselves.

Have you considered that you could have a multiple birth? What about dealing with birth defects? Are you financially capable of dealing with ongoing health problems? Will you be going back to work after the baby is born? What if there is brain damage... can you both deal with that at this age and for the rest of your lives?

Believe me, I speak from experience. Having a child is a lifetime committment. Having two children in 10 or 11 months and one of them suffering from minimal brain damage due to a difficult pregnancy can be hell. Seeing your infant having seizures, losing your partner because they thought they could do it but they can't, fighting for special education, having the child who does not have a disability suffer from the lack of time you can spend with them, your health suffering because of the pregnancies, having to have a hysterectomy when you are 29 because of the choices you made at 16 or 17 - none of it is a picnic.

I just hope that you have given thought to all of the above. I can tell you a heck of a lot more, too. If you are not pregnant I hope you and your fiance at least consider the things that I have written about. If you are pregnant then congratulations and may you not have to deal with any of the issues that most teenage parents do.

Hugs, Didi


Please read this carefully. This is what can happen to you and the baby if you are 14 and pregnant.

P.S. Hope you don't mind Didi, but I thought this was WONDERFUL!!

Brianna, I sure hope the responses here haven't scared you silly! It sounds like you probably are pregnant and you need to confide in an adult real soon. Do you have someone to talk to? Will your parents listen? If you are pregnant and are going to carry this baby to term then you need immediate and consistent medical attention. You must eat properly, reduce stress as much as possible and take pre-natal vitamins. Whether you are going to keep the baby after it's born or not, you want this child to have the best possible chance at a good life.

If you decide not to carry the baby to full term, then the sooner you seek medical help and emotional support the better. Either way, I hope you have good emotional support. If you need someone to talk to there is probably a social worker, nurse or guidance counsellor at your school; perhaps a parent, grandparent, minister/priest or neighbour? If you don't want to tell any of them, then how about a crisis line for teens? A lot of times they are listed in the telephone book, but if you can't find one, then let me know where you live and I will guide you to a few places in your area, okay?

You have taken a big step by talking about it here. I bet you feel awfully alone and I want you to know that you are not. There is lots of help and support out there... all you have to do is reach out.

Take care, sweetie...

Hugs, Didi

I think you are taking a big step and you need to think about what you are doing?? yes baby's are sweet but it's not the time yet for you to be planing for a baby at this moment.You are only 14yrs.old and your education is more importance then that right here...



But good luck!! Use protection at all time...

First off, I don't want to sound rude but you are FAR to young to be having a child, let alone wanting one. I am 20 and have a son and its so hard, I was 18 when I had him, and some days I just want to be able to be a normal 20 year old but I cant. My best recommendation to you is go to your doctor and ask for a pregnancy test and go from there. You still have a lot to learn in life and a lot of things to experience, so if you are pregnant really research your options.

Baby's are a full time job, you can't just go when you want to go your life revolves around the child. And they are VERY expensive.

You can have many false neative results, but only very very rarely do you get a false positive result, you need to see your doctor and get it confirmed and discuss your options with your doctor. You need to tell someone close to you, your mom if possible, she is the best person to help you through this. Good luck.
