  I'm scared. Reply Contact Hi, When I saw my pregnancy test today I cried, not tears of joy. When I tested my self in the bathroom I cried so hard I was hiccuping the whole time. While I was in the bathroom I thought of all my choices; I even thought the worst. As I sat there in the bathroom I thought " I'll put the baby up for adoption" , but that wasn't good enough in my mind because I didn't want my loved ones to see me like this. My 2nd thought was " How much is abortion and who does that cheap?", but I didn't want God to punish me, nor my loved ones if they ever found out. I didn't want to have a big stomach because then my family would see.I didn't want to be an outcast, I tried so hard to think of other solutions, but for some reason they just we'ren't good enough. I think I'll just go through with it, but I won't tell any one. I'm 19 and I've just started college. I want to be successful in life, I want to have great things, but how can I do that if I have a child. I don't have a great job and I live with my mom and younger sisters. My sisters love me and so does my mom. I'm a big family person, but I have struggled through life. I have done things in the past that my mom does not approve of or my family. I just don't want my family to think less of me. I don't know what to do. My boyfriend is the same age as me and he doesn't have a great job either. I've been with him for almost 4 years and I've know him for 8 years. I would like it if some mothers or teen mothers would give some advice on what to do? or not really on what to do, but some tips would be great and helpfull. One more thing is there anything I can take because I can't sleep at night, I can't decide whats okay to eat (my stomach hurts all the time), I've been deppressed lately and I try so hard to be happy around my family, but its just so hard. I think I'm on week 7 of pregnancy. I feel so nauseous, I have the urge all the time to vomit, but I don't. To make it worse, I'm stressed with school stuff (college), I feel like I want to pull my hair. Who ever read this, I hope you have some tips for me. *Luv* LR

  Re: I'm scared. Reply Contact First of all, I suggest you calm down. Go see a Doctor and they will be able to help you with your choices. Give you some more options and maybe refer you to a teen-mom program. I was 18 when I got pregnant with our first. I had only been with my now-husband for a few months, it was a surprise to say the least. But you can do it. I finished school and have a good job now, we own our own house, we have three kids and are still so happy. Dont freak out over all the small stuff. If you mother loves you, she may be upset about the pregnancy, but she will be there for you. Just express to her that you are scared and you really need somebody to support you right now emotionally through this. When all else fails, tell the truth. You have to share with her whats going on, you cant just keep this a secret. There are plenty of programs out there to help teen moms, but definately start with your doctor, its very important to get early prenatal care. Good luck.

  Re: I'm scared. Reply Contact Hey I know this is an old post but i thought you would like to know that i am 19 :) i just turned 19 in aug 2009 and i have a son who is now 6 months i got pregnant just before my 18th birthday (didnt find out til like 6 weeks later) i met my fiance 1 and a half years before i got pregnant. when i found out i was pregnant abortion was not an option for me (its just what i believe) i was so scared i had no idea what i was going to do. i moved in with my fiance 3 months after knowing him but that was only because i was kicked out of my sisters house and i was not on speaking terms with my parents (im still not really) my fiance and i never got engaged til a few weeks before my son, Madden, got here. things are pretty hard right now with how our recession is in British Columbia. My fiance is doing school right now to be a mechanic and i am just being a stay at home mom i have many dreams and things i want to and even though they are on hold for i bit i am not that upset i am young and i have lots of time i never used any teen pregnancy programs hope this helps :)
