14 years and pregnant

Im 14 and 2 weeks pregnant, ii want to keep the baby but dont know how friends and family wil ltake it. what shall ii do?

Answer #1

As a responsible individual I would hope that you understand that having a child is a lot of work. At your young age your body isnt even fully developed. This means that having this child could cause permanent damage to your body. Also, I highly doubt that at 14 you are supporting yourself. So therefore you having a child you are going to depend on your parents to support you, and your child. I think that is quite selfish. I think the responsible thing to do would be to talk to your parents and see what they think about it, and what they think the best action is to take. No, I am not saying that you should get an abortion, but I do think it would be unfair for you to have a child because you “want” it, and burdon others, damage your body, postpone your social life (because you wont have one, if your a good parent anyways)…PLUS if your 14 who is this person that got yoru pregnant and what is their thinking about this decision? Because he might not be up for the challange if you all are the same age.

Answer #2

ok sweetie, you’re 14 for crying out loud, you shouldn’t even be thinking about sex or getting pregnant or having a baby, you should be enjoying your life not ruining it. I’m sorry if I’m making you feel uncomfortable but you really need to think before you do something you know you can’t handle, like telling your friends and family. I’m 17 and I have not done either of those things and I’m happy because now I don’t have to grow up so fast and forget about all the awesome things I had planned for my life.

Secondly, you need to tell your parents, but I suggest telling your mother first because I know it may hurt her but at least when it comes to telling your dad, she’ll be right there with you. and as far as your friends, they’re going to find out one way or the other, by you telling them or by them telling by your belly.

well youve made a mistake now you need to deal with the consiquence responsibly you must get the support of your parents, because you cant do this alone if you find out they wont support you find the support of a friend, relative, teacher, doctor, counsellor, ect you will loose friends, but you true friends should stick by you this will change your life a lot, so be aware of that know that the father might not stand by you, butfind out who it is and tell them, they hav3e a right to know that there a father and you hjave a baby dont let them affect your decision on what to do with your baby too much you have a few option abortion, killing it before it developes into a conscious living thing adoption, giving it away to someone else who can take care of it keeping it, raise the baby yourself keeping it, half raising it and half getting your parents/grandparents help to raise it letting a relative take care of it for you so you can find out were you stand giving it away to a friend or someone you know who wants a kid but cant have one themselves ect…but you should be the one making the decision also after you have it talk to your mum/doctor about going on some form of birth control and learn about contraception, birth control, pregnancy and sti/stds before you have sex again also talk to your doctor and and ask them what they think is the best option and if your in school, you can consider staying and finnishing your education, or dropping out if you drop out you can still continue your education though, online is a good way …and thats all the help I can think of right now

Answer #4

Your 2 weeks pregnant? How do you know this? Almost all women don’t even THINK they are pregnant until they are already 5-7 weeks along.

Your 14, you have three options, Abortion, Adoption, Keeping It. Only you can really decide this. You need to look at every perspective though. A baby is a beautiful thing, but it can also ruin young girls lives. You will lose your friends. The guy who made the baby will end up leaving you. Ya’ll are only 14, those relationships dont last. You will lose your chance of growing up and being a teenager and enjoying things that teens are supposed to enjoy. You can’t support the baby seeing as how your not old enough to work, you can’t even drive yet, and it’s not your parent’s responsibility to care for your child, so you cant just pawn a baby off on them and make them pay for it. Who’s going to care for the baby all night while it’s crying, when you yourself have high school in the monring. The chances of you dropping out of high school are high. Dont you want to finish your education.

Answer #6

Answer #7

do what YOU want. its your baby after all.

Answer #8

well first of all I think that you should tel your parents… they might be disapointed at first but there your parents and they will come round and be there for you. when it comes to your friends its not really there buisness what you decide to do unless you want it to be because maybe having a friend to talk to and be there for you might help. But at the end of the day its your baby so it really all comes down to what you want to do. Goodluck x

Answer #9

first of all ask your parents what they’d do if you were pregnant .. see how they answer its better to tell them now then when your like 3 months. if they give you a harsh answer then say ..well I dont know how to tell you guys this but I am. & then they’l get really pissed but they’l start asking questions & you just answer them truthfully & go with what they say about how your going to raise it & if your going back to school or not //

Answer #10

Its your fault you need to deal with the consequences. Maybe next time you should just keep your pants on.
