    scared recent grad and not with boyfriend

    I had that "feeling" for a few weeks that I was pregnant. I never believed that you could feel it, but well you do. I took a test last week came out very very faint. Did not believe it and still AF not here. Took a test this morning. less faint line appeared, didnt believe it until i got the digital test. 3 test all pos. I am scared out of my mind. I just graduated college, starting a new job in august and supposed to be moving away from home. no longer with the father or never really was. He really made me feel like it was going to work but come to find out there was another girl for a just as long as we had dated. I dont know what to do?? When do i tell him, parents, when to go to the doctors. Totally scared!! any advice.

     I dont know what to say exactly to keep you from worrying but I am pretty sure your parents might except it. Depending on their beliefs on relationships and babies. To tell the dad, that is up to you. Sounds to me that he wasnt even there 100% for you. .SO it makes me think he would do the same to the baby. I could be jumping to conclusions but I just dont want to assume either on how people could be. I can say Congrats on graduating! And the new job to. IF you are willing to keep this baby then I say do it. There are places that take care of newborns, daycare places and what not. And I am guessing you are due in March or February? So it would give you some time to find a good place for the baby to be while you are at work. If you are concidering adoption I would talk to someone about Open Adoption. YOu can still see the baby and have contact with them. I dont know what else to say because I am young (20) and I have 2 kids (one on the way) and you my dear have gotten further than I have at this point. Dont stress out. There are always lots of people that you know that will be there to help you. Just take care and know that everything WILL BE okay

    I would go to the dr. ASAP so you get good prenatal care.

    Then 1 step at a time. You can do this and be a great mom.

    At least you got the college thing out of the way! I dropped out when I got pregnant and just started again 3 years later! I wish I hadn't been with my daughter's father when I had her, but I was... You can do it - you just have to keep telling yourself you can... I do agree with the previous poster, get yourself to a doctor ASAP so you can start some good pre-natal care and they will be able to hopefully alleviate any fears of the physical. Your parents will probably be able to help you through the emotional side of things, though, so tell them first. If you want to tell the father, I see no reason not to, but don't expect the world from him. Chin up, and keep us posted
