| Hi Laura -- I obviously don't know your dad but I am pretty sure he will not disown you. Your dad my be disappointed in you for a little while but he will still love you and want what is best for you. You can't hide it forever and you definitely don't want to carry the load alone so you really should tell your parents soon. I am an adoptive parent so I am totally against abortion. There are many couples and families out there who would love the opportunity to parent and would be more than willing to have a relationship with you and the baby's dad as well if that is what you would like. If adoption is something you would like to consider do your research and find an agency and or attorney you are comfortable with and if that means interviewing 100 such places before you find one that you like then so be it -- this is your life. If you decide to parent then you will need to have a plan in place. There a tons of resources for single and teen parents. Catholic Charities is a good resource as is The Gabrielle Project. If you don't have either of those places near you contact Planned Parenthood (they don't just perform abortions) and ask them for a list of resources. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me or post here, I'd be glad to help where I can. [email protected]. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don't wait too long to tell your parents they'll take the news better if they feel you were up front with them as opposed to "hiding" it from them for months. Good Lcuk and let me know how it goes.

| im sort of in your same situation. im also 17 years old with twins. Where's the baby daddy and is he doing anything to help? i didnt tell my mom at first. i told my bf mom because i knew that she wouldnt react the same way as my mom would. then, she went with me to tell my mom so that saved me from getting killed! i basically told my mom how much i loved her and appreciated what all she done for me. then, i started to tell her that i made a terrible mistake and i really needed her help. my mom used to say that if i ever got pregnant then she would kick me out the house. all she did was cry and told me that i can live there but she's not helpin me with the babies. i think when babies are born then she will realize how much love she will have for her grandchildren. which is probably what ur dad would do. let me know what happens. ↑ |
| Jovan I agree with you. Aura I know what you feel .Heres my story. When I was 16 I met my now husband. I ended up pregnant and at first I din't know for sure untill one day I started with the simptoms, and got very sick one night I thought it was the flu, since the simptoms are very alike. I did tell my bf I thought I was pregnant and he at firs didn't wanted for me to be pg because he know my mom would react very bad. so When I got sick I ended up in the ER ( emergency room) I wqas getting dehadrated so the doctors needed to know what was causing this and they with dew blood from me. When the results came back, the doctor called my mom and fortunatly my bf was therealso. The doctor told me I was 6 weeks pg ,I was scared I didn't know how things where going to turn now that my mom knew. She said she wasn't mad just that she felt dissapointed and let down. I did cried and my sister told me she was gonna be there for me My mom did this family gathering and told all my fam. Y dad didn't know since he was out of the country,but eventualy found out. After like 3 weeks my mom changed she didn't want to talk to me she kicked me out, didn't spoke to me for about 5 months I had to move in with my bf and hes been there for me ever since my mom changed when my baby was bourn now my baby loves her and she loves my baby. I do urge you to not give your baby away or have an abortion because he did not ask to come to your life every thing hapens for a reson but he also desrves a chance. I know what all you girls aare going through belive me my pregnancy wasn't the color pink I had a high risk pregnancy and to top it all I was in this very bad accident and I almost lost my baby, that day I realised that i neede my baby more than ever because tommorow when I am old and can't keep up with my self he or she was the one to take care of me and hand me a glass of water when I couldn't.After that It was in and out of the hospitals doctors told me that my baby wasn't going to make it they had to stop my labor a lot of time and I gave birth at 38 weeks insted of the 40 weeks. Talk to your bf and his parents tell them how you feel tell them your situation at home talk to some one recur to your dfcs office in the county where you live get help talk to people you can trust but give your baby a chance to meet mom post back soon Best Wishes and Good Luck I hope every thing turns out for you ↑ |
