Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey if your mommy and daddy and his mommy and daddy are "okay with it" ask them for advice. They are the ones who will raise your baby.

My advice is get your life in order as best you can, and start considering what is best for the baby.

wow

its gonna be a hard road to travel i'll tell u that much.. but atleast u'll have your parents and his behind u in all of this.. i was pregnant at 14 and didnt have anyone helpin me so i gave my child up for adoption... but at 18 now im glad i did cuz theres no way with me being 14 could i hav takin care of a child... hope everything works out for you though...

sugar baby....i really like your advice i would like to keep talking to you about this kind of stuff since you went through it yourself. theres a few questions that i want to ask you.

well first i would say congrats but its going to be a long hard road and you probably wont be with your boyfriend after this is done. i would get things as soon as possible together and definatly take hand outs, also dont try and play house moving out with the bf would be a bad idea and cause more stress stay at home with the parents, look into things like adoption becuase you will need to finish school and from a girl who did it with a baby it will be the most difficult thing you have ever done. and be prepared to get bad looks and be called bad things and not to take it personal, it will happen when you are a big as a watermelon and sitting in highschool, just keep working at it and do the school work and dont fall behind other then that nothing will prepare you for what you are about to do and go through

thank you guccigal87 for your advice. i really hope my bf will stay with me like he promised.. i also really hope that his parents and mine will help with the baby but idk... im getting ready to face the "wows" and the "o my gosh look at hers" with being a cheerleader and representing the school thats not going to be good, but im gonna have to deal with it weather or not I like it. just out of curiosity how old were you when you had your baby??

iona that was unnessasary..you don't have to be rude. This forum is about TEENAGE PREGNANCY ADVICE not telling a obviously scared girl to pretty much get over it and go ask mommy and daddy she doesn't need that. On another note....Congradulations...It will be hard but fun at the same time. If the people at school don't like it well, isnt it great that its not them that have to do it...Its your life. I am sorry that this happend to you though you have alot of life to live. Don't let anybody tell you to put it up for adoption because that is YOUR choice and only YOUR choice nobody but you and your bf can make that choice. But know that if you do keep it make sure you have your stuff together.

First off I would like to say I was 14 when I got pregnant. I was BEYOND scared.. I did what any teenage mother should do. I grew-up and got my life together. Second, Do NOT listen to that Iona person. Now that you are going to be a young mother people are gonna be like her every where you go. You just make sure you keep your head up and be strong. They will say some pretty messed up thing.. Third, I can proudly say I am 15, my daughter is almost 8 months and her father and I are still together, 2yrs now. Good luck and Congrats.

Sorry, I posted it twice. Im new!

Geez,wouldn't a sweater have been a more practical birthday gift?

brenna haha sorry but that was funny. JT, the best advice i can give you as horrible as it sounds is take advantage of the fact that your parents are so supportive. You NEED them right now. You are 14 and unless times have changed, i doubt you can get a job. I dont know how old your bf is but i will asume it is the same for him. If he is older and works or can work, dont take that as your cue to move in with him. Like I said i know it sounds horrible, but i look at it as if you were my daughter getting pregnant, and i would much prefer for my daughter or son for that matter, to live off of dh and I then to run off and think she/he is ready to take on the world as a 14 year old with a baby. I knoe if i became pregnant at 14 i would have had no support from my parents...haha mainly because at 14 i was babysitting to make money to pay rent because my mother is a lazy cow and wouldnt work. STAY AT HOME, FINISH SCHOOL! Who knows your bf and you make work out and be together for the rest of your lives, but honestly dont be surprised if it doesnt work out. I would talk to him now. Have a ADULT conversation with him. Let him know that you really pray that you two will stay together, but make sure no matter your relationship status he will want to be in the babys life. You will change as a mother, and he will change as a father. Men/boys dont have the parental instincts like mothers do so it will be harder for him to cope, and alot get scared and run. I really wish you the best of luck. : )

Oh and that reminds me....Like i said before, i know at 14 it will be hard to get a job. I recomend trying to work as a babysitter to bring in some sourse of income, so your parents know you are doing your best. Not only will it bring in a small income but it will get you some experiance with babies and children if you dont have any already...If you work that wisely, you may even make a pretty good income off it. I was your age babysitting and since i was a well know respected babysitter in my neiborhood. I got paid well. I baby sat every day and night of the week i could and would sometimes bring home several hundred dollars

sorry for all the typeos, i have a horrible migrane, i cant see and my brain isnt working

You really should consider all of the options. Adoption, Abortion, keeping the baby. That's the most I can tell you because you're only 14. You really should talk to others who were in that situation.
