Answer #1

there is no good way in letting your parents down like that…but you have to tell them. If you wait too long to go to the doctor there coulf be major health problems. If your parents love you they will be mad–but they will support you.

never get an abortion: there is a better way. This child is ALIVE and helpless and can feel everything that is being done to its poor helpless body. From the day of conception this child has brain waves and its fragile body is already starting to form.

A few life development Facts 20 days: Foundations of brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid. 24 days: Heart begins to beat. 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7 mm (1/4’) long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins (but stays separate from mother’s blood). 35 days: Pituitary gland in brain is forming. Mouth, ears and nose are taking shape. 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun. Pen*s is forming in boys. (Mother misses second period.) 43 days: Brain waves can be recorded. 8 1/2 weeks: Fingerprints are being engraved. Eyelids and palms of hands are sensitive to touch. 9 weeks: Child will bend fingers around an object placed in the palm. Thumb sucking occurs. Fingernails are now forming. 10 weeks: Body is sensitive to touch. Child squints, swallows, puckers up brow and frowns. 11 weeks: Baby urinates, makes complex facial expressions - even smiles. 12 weeks: Vigorous activity shows distinct individuality. Child can kick, turn feet, curl and fan toes, make a fist, move thumbs, bend wrists, turn head, open mouth and press lips tightly together. Breathing is practiced. 13 weeks: Face is prettier, facial expressions resembling parents’. Movements are graceful, reflexes vigorous. Vocal chords are formed (but without air baby cannot cry). Sex organs are apparent. 4 months: Child can grasp with hands, swim and turn somersaults. 5 months: Sleeping habits appear, but a slammed door will provoke activity. Child responds to sounds in frequencies too high or low for adults to hear. 6 months: Fine hair grows on eye brows & head. Eye-lash fringe appears. Weight is about 640g (22 oz.), height 23 cm (9’). Babies born at this age have survived. 7 months: Eye teeth are present. Eyelids open and close, eyes look around. Hands grip strongly. Mother’s voice is heard and recognized.

This is a living breathing child, and not only would you be harming it-you’d be emotionally harming yourself. I believe that EVERY person in this world has a purpose and a destiny–this child will make an impression on this earth. There are other ways to ‘get out of this’..although a child is a true blessing adoption is a great way to relieve yourself and make another loving family very happy and grateful and blessed. This is something that you cant take back…think about it. pray about it.

God bless

there are lots of couples who want to adopt and an agency is not the only way to go there is a type of adoption called independent adoption which my husband and I are trying to do right now if you would like more info about this option please let me know

Answer #4

I’m pregnant and I’m 18 years old but regardless of my age, I was still afraid to tell my mom. She’s always been there for me in any situation and although we’ve gotten into a lot more arguments here in the past year than we have before, I still feel like she’ll support me. Be upfront with her. Don’t hide anything. She’ll more than likely be more satisfied to know your situation coming from you than having to realize that you’re slowly but surely getting bigger. If your mom truely cares about you, she won’t kick you out but instead help you in the situation. Because of the age you’re at, you need support and a lot of it. If you don’t think you can take care of it, adoption is always a good thing [I’m adopted!] instead of completely getting rid of the baby by abortion. But, good luck!

Answer #5

Honesty is your best policy. Ultimately it is your choice whether to keep the child or not. One thing to keep in mind is that there are plenty of couples out there like myself and my wife that have tried for years (in our case 10 years)to have children with no success. Finding a loving home for your child won’t be a problem. You may be surprised how supportive your mother will be. Good luck with your decision.

Answer #6

tell her now before it is too late so then she will be mad you did not tell her earlier enough, pray about it,and have faith she will not do anything your are worried about..

Answer #7

I agree that you should tell your Mom and you just have to catch her in a good mood and tell her you have something very important to tell her and tell her. There is no easy way. I wouldn’t advice just leaving a note like someone suggested. As everyone has said, If she loves you, she will understand and accept it. I’m a mother. I know these things. My daughter told me when she was pregnant at 15. She wanted my advice on whether to get an abortion. I didn’t want her to have an abortion because I wanted her to have her baby and I was actually happy about having a grandchild. I only voiced my opinion about it once and I let her decide, hoping she would decide against the abortion. She made the decision to have the baby and my granddaughter is 11 now. BTW, you have a right to an abortion and I don’t think anyone should tell you that you should or shouldn’t have an one. It’s your decision to make. I think that you should be informed of all of your options. I only mention this because someone told you not to have one and that is their own moral beliefs. There’s a certain point though, where you’ll be too many months along to have an abortion so if that is an option, keep that in mind. I had an abortion when I was 18 and I didn’t think about it very often afterwards, but, looking back now, I wish I had kept the child. He or she would be 35 years old. But, again, tell your Mom. You just have to do it and you can’t go wrong there. That’s my advice. Good luck.
