Hey I'm briana I'm 14 and 4 months pregnant nobody really knows
Not even my boyfriend I don't know what to do I'm scared and alone

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.

The very best thing you can do is call any of these numbers. They have councilors that will help you!

I know I need help but I'm embaressed about what they will think

[jjwoodhull]

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.

I kno I need help but I'm embaressed about what they will think

They will not judge you. They want to help you- Scouts honor!

They are there to help you. Not judge you.

Your parents love you and want what's best for you.

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.

[briana00josh00]

Yea your right I do want the best for the baby but I could never Imagine giving my baby up
Even though Its inside of me I love it its just hard to know I'm young and can't do it myself

[briana00josh00]

How can I possibly tel my parents and my boyfriend that I'm pregnant

[artlady]

Yea ur right I do want the best for the baby but I could never Imagine giving my baby up
Even though Its inside of me I love it its just hard to kno I'm young and can't do it myself

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.

[jjwoodhull]

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.

[artlady]

As far as telling your boyfriend ,I think your parents will help you handle that.
He is just as responsible as you are.

[jjwoodhull]

Do it tonight, or tomorrow morning. Don't wait any longer. You need her help. And you need to get to a doctor.

[briana00josh00]

Thanks for al yalls help I'm going to tell her tomarrow and I hope she understands
Wish me luck :')

[jjwoodhull]

We'll be thinking of you. Please come back and let us know how you make out.

[artlady]

Thanks for al yalls help I'm gonna tell her tomarrow and I hope she understands
Wish me luck :')

Good luck honey,I am sure everything will work out and you will feel so much better when you can share this with someone who you love and trust.
Let us know how things go ,if you feel like it.
Take care of yourself.
You are making the right decision.

[88sunflower]

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.
