A. Congratulations on.
B. Get out of.
Hope you make the right choice.
go to the doctors and speak to an adviser or your friends or the bloke you slept with
Well you're not too young. Good Luck !
not much we can say now is there you where old enough to get in that situation now you have got to mature enough to make the decision as to keep it or not
good luck watever you decide
good fun was it?
it happens everyday
oh love. thats not very cool. but it isnt the end of the world. you have choices.
Your life is over ...if you don't believe me Wait till you poop out your 10lb baby
If it were me I would take birth control after i had an abortion
go private £500 get a nice abortion, nhs ones are horrid
If you're still in high school, you need to talk to your parents about it, unless of course they're abusive or not understanding. In that case, I would go to a hospital or a clinic or something and talk to them confidentially about it. If you're not in high school, you may still want to do that. Figure out if you and the father are gonna stay together, get married or whatever, and if you want the baby at all. If you do and you and the dad want to stay together and raise the child, then go for it. If you don't want the baby OR you and the dad aren't together and don't want to be together, then you gotta figure out if you want abortion, adoption, or if you want to raise the child alone. You got some tought decisions to make here, and some of them need to be made pretty fast. Good luck
Hi,
You don't mention whether you want to keep the baby or not.
Either way, the first thing I would do is make yourself an appointment at your local family plannng clinic where you can discuss all of the options available to you.
Alternatively, you can edit your question and tell us whether you need advise on how to go ahead with the prgnancy, or how to terminate the pregnancy.
Be warned though, this website is full of anti-abortionists who post quite horrific replies if you mention that you don't want to go ahead with the pregnancy. Remember that it's your decision and these people are best ignored.
Congrats !!! Visit a doctor immediately, take the pills prescribed by them, eat nicely, try to be cool always. Don't stress yourself very much especially in the first three months but be doing household work. Be always cheeful because pregancy something very precious to a woman and enjoy the most the 9 months and you will have a fine delivery. All the Best.
consider all your options long and hard before you do anything I had an abortion at 20 I thought I was to young and despite it being the right decision for me I still think about it every day. I am now trying for a baby with my husband and have had a m/c. There are alot of couple out there longing for a baby so you could choose adoption, or you could choose to keep this baby and make the most of it.. either way you need your family and friends to talk to .. my mum has been my rock.. some of my friends who disagreed with what I did where not so helpful, just ignore those as it is not there life it is yours and this babies. good luck.
Well it happens when you have sex. Now you have to make the biggest decision of your life,keep it,adopt it or abort it. Its YOUR choice.Good luck and remember your not the first person its happened too.
im not the baby daddy!
Go to the doctor, and find out what your options are.
Have you talked to your parents?.where is the father?.He have a job. His parents?. As for advise..looks like your having a baby..as for marriage?.if the the ONLY reason is due to the pregnancy.do not!. Start early with your prenatel stuff.hope everything works out..babys is healthy. Just be a good momma. Good Luck.
Go visit Planned Parenthood and think about your options. Bring your boyfriend with you. You're in this together and not alone. If he refuses to go, let him know if you keep it, he's paying.
I was 18 when I had my first daughter and wouldn't trade her for the world- I married her dad and we later divorced- he was flat out too immature- so it is not the end of the world- adoption is a good option - and everyone lives! Mind some good support- I don't know what your parents are like- so - if they are average they may be shocked- disappointed- then get more accepting- what about the bf? Has he disappeared? If so - you don't need him or that behavior- there is a place in Tyler Tx called the Fathers house- check it out- it is a wonderful place for young moms- take care D
Don't worry about it - Just do what you want. Don't feel guilty if you want to get rid of it - despite what people say, we were brought here with free will and no choice is a "wrong" choice as it leads to another experiance - Which is simply why we are here. If you can't afford a baby, or have a career in mind or have any reason for not keeping the child then don't _ Why bring up a person who you can't offer unconditional, perfect love to? On the other hand, If you think that you would enjoy being a mother and feel that you can love and do best for your child - go for it! Your age does not matter, My mum had me at your age.
And don't forget, A child does not mean the end of your life - there are always ppl willing to babysit whilst you get on with your hobbies/ work etc.
Just think about all aspects and how thay affect you. The most important thing is that you follow your heart.
Don't forget to be perfectly honest and open with the father - try not to get into any fights, discuss calmly and rationally but from the heart. No-one else needs to be involved unless you want them to be.
Good Luck! Xx
you say your ONLY 18 . . Your an adult now , you knew the consiquences of having sex ,so now you have to make a decision on what to do , ,whatever you decide to do ,make sure afterwards you get sorted with contraceptives + don't get caught again unless your ready , good luck
Well, I think you should keep it. I have wanted kids for years but am not able to have any. Good Luck!
im just 18 and 10weeks pregnant its very scary but also exciting!!hope it goes well for u and congratulations ul cope fine im surexxxxxxxgood luck
hey sweetie. Dont listen to people who are rude to you. What you have to ask yourself is whether you are ready to be a mum? Whether you are ready to make your whole world your baby? If you say yes to both of these questions then you really will be fine. It is a big life change, and i guess noone really even realises how big until they have their own baby. I fell pregnant when i was 19, and my little boy is the best thing that has ever happend to me. He is my world. I love him more than anything and i thank god for sending him to me. Things like this happen, and if you are ready then go for it! You will love being a mum im sure. And i know your probably thinking -labour and birth>>?! but that is fine aswell. I wont lie, it is painful. But we get through it and it really isnt that bad at all. If you decide to keep your baby you have so much to look forward to. Apart from morning sickness =P hehe.. which is the least fun part even compared to labour.. you have your first ultrasound, you have your babys first kicks inside of you, you have a choice to find out whether its a boy or a girl, you have the beautiful comfort of knowing that your baby is growing inside of you and you have that moment of love and joy when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time. The whole thing is just amazing. I really hope you enjoy it. Trust me, you will never look back once you decide to keep it. Even after the baby is born it is easy to go back and do part time schooling or whatever, its not the end of the world for that kind of stuff.
Goodluck to you and may you have a happy and healthy baby!
Do you want to be a mommy?
If so, you need to get some plans in place. Do you have a place to live? You'll need to arrange some benefits.
If you dont want to keep it, you need to arrange to either have an abortion or adopted.
First thing you need to do is get to your doctors to talk over all your options.
Good luck.
what do you mean just 18 thats a adult your responsible for yourself and your own actions, to be blunt grow up
Do you have a strong family support system, as well as support from him and his family? Can you provide a loving and secure home, with all the needs a baby will have, and do you want a baby? I am a Hugh advocate of adoption. My husband and his two sisters were adopted and given wonderful lives. It takes a very loving and unselfish person to let go, but letting go does not mean forever. Some adoptive parents are open to the birth mother having a roll in the child's life, look into that. I wish you the best of luck, and wish I could give you a much needed hug right now.
noboby is perfect. dignified what are you done. don't be weak. Just be strong and believe in God. He will help you. pray!
not every baby that is born by accident deserves to die. its not what god wants
hello, well 18 isn't exactly considered 'young' nowadays. you really need to work out what life is going to be like from now on. no matter what option you take, your life has changed. this is a decision you will need to make for yourself. sure you can get advise but dont let anybody talk you into what 'should be done'. if you go ahead with the pregnancy are you prepared to quit your social life and devote everything you live for to your baby? from now on your baby comes first. i'm speaking from experience i had my baby at 20. do you feel that you have done all the things you wanted to do before coming an example setting parent? no matter how mature you feel you are it will suprise you literally how much more you'll need to grow and wise up to be a good parent. its not going to be easy physically, mentally of financially!
if you decide to terminate the pregnancy that is something that you are going to have to live with. personally i wouldnt think that is something you would ever be able to mentally 'block out'. you also have to get the facts. my friend had and abortion, and now she is unable to have children. she regrets the abortion big time. what ever you decide i wish you all the luck.. if you can see yourself with a baby, and that includes possibly bringing the child up alone then im sure you will be fine. you will be a good mum! its very rewarding! all the best x x x
calm down and take time to relax and consider all your options and ignore any of the horrid and childish comments that have been posted, like you said you want ADVICE not CRITICISM. (sorry for the little rant its annoying when people are nasty or self opinionated things)
well to start off its not the end of the world you have options but you have plenty of time to decide. first things first you need to make an appointment to see your GP and if your in a relationship tell your partner. and if your not then you need to tell someone you trust to be there for you and not push you into making any kind of decision (its your body and your baby). once you have seen your GP you will then get an appointment to see a midwife and they can give you all the info you need and if you have any questions write them down on a piece of paper.
just take it one step at a time and ask for help as you don't have to do this on your own there are plenty of people to help you. just get the prenatal care that is needed and then take it one step at a time and good luck!! (once again sorry for ranting)
