Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm confused... You said you took 3 pregnancy test and they were all positive? Why wouldn't you believe you are pregnant? You are! The plan B pill does not always work, and the online due date calculators are based on a 28 day cycle, which not everyone has. You should absolutely tell your mom right away. You need to start seeing a doctor and taking prenatal vitamins as soon as you can to make sure you have a healthy baby. The first trimester is the most important! Good luck and congratulations.

Yeah I know .. It's just so hard to believe. I have no idea how to tell her.

I know the feeling. When I told my mom I did it quick, like a band-aid. With my dad I wrote him a note, because I'm not very close with him and felt uncomfortable saying it. Their first reactions will almost definitely be disappointment and it probably won't be pretty. But, eventually, I'm sure they'll be happy for you. Once you get your ultrasounds and your belly gets bigger, it's hard to not be excited!

Yeah I know...two of my friends are saying they're so happy for me...the rest are understanding about how worried I am about school. And I know I love the baby forever too.

You can get prenatal vitamins at the drug store or even walmart. And you're 5 weeks pregnant even though the incident was 3 weeks ago because the count starts at the firat day of your last period even though you most likely dont get pregnant until 2 weeks later. Sounds like you have the typical 28 day cycle.

Okay I was confused how I could be 5 weeks .. that makes sense thanks. =) And yeah..my period is pretty regular and about 28 days. Thanks =)

Sweetie, your disbelief is completely understandable. I went through the same exact thing. It took 5 pregnancy tests, a test in the crisis pregnancy outreach office, and two tests at the doctor for me to really get it through my head. Actually I still didn't fully believe it until I heard the heartbeat. There was some room for a mistake in my head for another 3 weeks, until I felt the baby kick! LOL!!! Here's an idea for the doctor. Look into a pregnancy clinic in your area. I found mine by contacting the crisis pregnancy hotline. They get you in contact with your local clinic. At the clinic they based the appointment bill off of my income and I only had to pay about 30 per visit. Also, it was billed to me, they didn't expect anything the first couple of visits. I did have to bring 15 dollars every visit after that. That idea is just in case you do want to go to a doctor before returning to school. To be honest I think it would be a good idea, and a good idea to tell your mother so she can go to your first appointment with you. Anyway, I have been where you are and if you ever have anymore questions just ask. I'm here for you!!!

i am 33 weeks pregnant, was trying for my baby for 9 months i still take the odd pregnancy test lol!

I'm going to this free unplanned pregnancy clinic by my work tomorrow. So during my break I'm going with my friend. He's being somewhat of a douche about it. He just wants the results .. but our mutual friend is saying that he's still in shock and will man up about it soon. I just wish he would be more caring sooner.

Congratulations, Britty. With a due date of Aug 24 you should have no problem finishing out the first year of college, which is the smart thing to do. You might be tempted to hide it from your mom until school lets out, but since she will be helping with the child-rearing, it would be better to break the news before going back to school. I hope the dad is supportive once he gets over the shock. You are going to have a lifelong relationship with him of some sort if you are both parents of the same child, so keep it sweet. Happy New Year!!

Keep us updated, hopefully things worked out, and you found some support and answers!
