Wow do your parents even know? Are you getting prenatal care? If you aren't please go because if you don't you're putting yourself and your baby in danger! You should talk to your boyfriend and your parents (or guardian). If you decide you can't keep it you can make arrangements for adoption. That can be a really hard choice to make but sometimes it's best for the child! Now that you are pregnant you have to think of the baby too! I hope you talk to someone and get the support you need. Maybe you can even talk to someone you trust and have them with you when you talk to your parent(s) about it. Good luck!

I suggest telling your parents or guardians first.

Have you been to a doctor to seek prenatal care? If not please go- for you and the health of the unborn child.

I know you are scared, buy if you are already 4 month along, it is very important that you see a doctor. The are lots of wonderful people who would adopt your baby and give it a good home. You do not have to have an abortion.

Tell your parents right away. I know you are young, but be firm about the fact that you do not want to have an abortion. Also tell your boyfriend. This is his issue too. He needs to help you deal with whatever decisions you make.

Hi Briana,
I know you are scared honey.That's because you are trying to figure out this huge problem by yourself.It is too big for you to handle alone.

Everyone makes mistakes in life.Everyone,including your parents.

You have to get help from them,they are going to find out eventually anyway so you might as well tell them now to make sure that you are getting everything you need and so is the baby.You need to be seen by a doctor ,that is very important!

You have a baby in you and you can't just think of you anymore,you have to think of that baby and what is best for him or her.

Is there another adult who you trust who could help you to talk to your parents?

Please speak to your parents and get the help you need.

If you have any questions,we would be happy to help as much as we can but you have to face the fact that you must tell your parents!

It will be all right once you have someone who is more experienced helping you through this.

Yea your right I do want the best for the baby but I could never Imagine giving my baby up

It is a big decision and you are right,you can't handle this alone.

Right now the thing you have got to do is take a huge deep breath and just say *mom,can I speak to you in my room,its pretty serious* and then just tell her. * I made a big mistake and I am pregnant*.

I know its hard honey and I would be afraid also but it is time,for the health and safety of you and your baby ,you have to do it.

Tell you mother you have something important to talk to her about and then just say it. Get it over with. The sooner the better. You will feel so much better after you tell her.

Apr 8, 2009, 08:10 PM
As far as telling your boyfriend ,I think your parents will help you handle that.
He is just as responsible as you are.

Oh I hope it goes well for you. Just keep your chin up and remember your parents will be in shock. Your still there baby to. But they will support you and help you. It will all fall together. You don't feel that right now. But it will all work out one way or another.

My Grandmother was pregnant with my mother when she was 14. My mom had a pretty difficult life. Her mom was never around and partied a lot. If the choice is made to keep this baby; I hope she realizes she needs to become an adult and take responsibility. I have no doubt that it can be done. But man, will it be hard. I couldn't imagine being 18 and pregnant let alone 14.

I told my parents by leaving out a Planned Parenthood number that my manager had given me, I was 17, scared and pregnant.

That wasn't really the way I wanted to tell her, but it did make it a whole lot easier.

First, you need to tell your parents, then get to a doctor. You should be taking prenatal vitamins, are you? If you do not think you can take care of your baby, have you thought about adoption? How do you know for sure you are pregnant? Have you taken a home test?

It's to late for an abortion. You should talk to your parents.. because soon enough they will know. They can help you make the right decision. You need prenatal care and proper nutrition. Do what is right for your baby. Give him/her a chance

jjwoodhull

After last night, I was really hoping that you would stick to your plan and tell your mother today. Like we already told you - you have to see a doctor immediately. You have options, but the more time that passes, the less options you will have.

Please tell your mother tonight. You need to face the reality of the situation. You are making yourself crazy because you are dreading telling her. Just get it over with. She loves you and she will help you make the right decision.

I'm glad that you at least told your boyfriend today. But now you have to tell your parents.

My dear,you need to start listening a little better to us here.
You can not have any medical treatment without parental consent.Number one.

Don't even listen to your BF right now.He is not someone who knows about babies and how you feel or anything.Hes a boy!

Talk to your mother!

Is she mean ? Does she love you? I bet she does.I am sure your mother will hug you.Then you can start to make the plans for the future.

You have put yourself in this place and now you have to be responsible.

Talk to Mom and Dad too and start to face up to what is happening here.This is not something you can put off any longer!

Please ,do it soon and thank-you so much for the update ,we were all very concerned about you and your family.

You need to tell your parents honey and know that we are all rooting for you :)



You may very well be past the point of having the option to terminate.

This will be very hard to do but you must tell your parents first, then seek prenatal care if you haven't already done so. If you think your boyfriend will freak out or leave you over this then I would worry about him last, but you must eventually tell him and if he abandons you then he was no good for you anyway, but maybe in the future you will meet someone better who will raise this child with you. Make sure you keep your parents close and involved in this though that is a must!

You engaged in a grown up act resulting in a grown up consequence, now you'll have to make a grown up decision. It isn't easy (I was there once, too) but you have a living human being inside your body. The baby won't wait around for you to take your time on what to do, the time to act is now.
