Question

I am 16 and just found out I was pregnant, by 2 home pregnancy tests. I wsnt to go to the health department, but I dont want my parents to know yet. Is there any way I can ask the doctors to make it confidential and not tell anybody? And will I need my insurance paperwork or can I pay out of pocket?

Answer

You can go to the health department and keep it a secret. And you should be able to pay out of pocket. 
But, at 16, whether you plan to keep the baby or not.. You're going to have to tell your parents eventually. 
If you keep the baby you need support and prenatal care. If you want to have an abortion, you have to have parental permission. And if you want to put the baby up for adoption you need parental care and a lot of legal work.

Answer

It's time to make ever big adult decision. Hiding it isn't going to do you your relationship with your parents or your baby any good. 
Prenatal care is beyond expensive out of pocket. I do believe if you go to agree clinic it is confidential. However if you use your insurance the bill will come to your house and your parents will be notified.
At 15 my cousin wanted to hide it from her mom. I told her hell no you did it now man up and deal with it. She told her mom her mom lost it. As time went by and her belly got bigger where was her mom???? Waiting on her hand and foot lol running her belly kissing her belly and beyond excited. 4yrs later that boy is their sunshine!

At first it might be terrifying but you need to let them know.
Good luck!

Answer

They can keep it confidential but you will have to tell them sometime hon.  I know it can be scary.  FYI, my best friend was born when her mom was 16 and they are so close!  All the best to you.

Answer

She didn't say she wouldn't tell them,I'm sure she needs her time..especially at that age ,I'd b affraid too..

If you go to a free clinic it's confidential and free..then you go from there .good luck 😊

Answer

Go to a free clinic. Espially if your on your parents insurance. Pluses I would consider telling them as soon as possible

Answer

You can ask a doctor to keep it confidential but if you plan on having a baby, parents are the most supportive and they can help you if you tell them.
