I M Pregnant And About To Be Sixteen

So, here's the deal with me: I'm turning 16 next Thurs.. and I have a huge conflict going on in my life... I'm pregnant.(Now the next part is VERY strange, at least to me...) But the thing is, I was raped. I don't know who, h__l, I don't even remember what happened.(I suspect I was drugged or something of the sort) All I know is that in around November of 2010, I woke up with a pubic hair in my mouth,and I was a bit sore in a certain place... I didn't suspect a thing, until recently. I had my last two periods (last started Christmas Eve) but, when my mother had my brother, she'd concieved the day before her period, and had had three periods after, while she was pregnant with my brother. after my last period was when i really noticed the symptoms... -My acne's been breaking out (not as bad as my period, but...) -My br___ts have been kind of achey and a bit swollen -I've been having cramps in my legs and pelvic area(not as bad as my period...) -Cravings and food aversions -Nausea -Head aches (I NEVER have these) -Moodyness -Darkening of the Areola -and fatigue all of this has been worse than pms and started after my last period. I've been growing more and more suspicious, so I went and bought two home pregnancy tests. The results were positive, though it was faded (In the directions of the test it said, if the plus shows up, no matter how faded, its positive). I took one test yesterday, and one this morning, so I found out today that I'm pregnant... Now I'm scared about what to do about the future... I'm just a Sophmore in Highschool, I'm scared to tell my parents, I know they love me and want what's best... I'm scared that I might have to leave school. I've made the decision to keep my baby, and to raise him/her. I hope I can recieve help from my parents, at least until I finish school. I want to go to college and get an education. Right now I don't know how to tell them, and I know I need to tell them soon, because I want to start seeing the doctors and getting prenatal care. I estimate that I am in my second or third month... I am very concerned and want to start getting medical help right away. Plus, with me having been raped, I want to have myself tested for STDs, which I really hope I do not have. Please, give me advice...

Ouch! Sympathy! So your last true period was Oct 13, and you had in-pregnancy bleeds Nov 27 and Dec 25 (a__suming a 28 day cycle. That would make you 10 weeks pregnant now and give a due date of July 20th. You likely got pregnant from exposure Nov 13 weekend. Everyone (almost) is scared to tell the parents, but you should not delay. It's time to set up your first prenatal doc visit. Sit your mom down across the kitchen table, tell her you need some help, tell her the story as best you remember it, and then the consequence. Cry and hug as necessary. I am sure she will be mad at all sorts of people, including perhaps herself, but I don't see how she can be that mad at you. Mail me if you want, but please come back and tell us how it goes. We are on your side!
