i’m 14, pregnant, and getting bloodwork done? will it show?
i’m 14 and i took a pregnancy test yesterday. it was positive and i’m freaking out. i don’t know when or how to tell my mom, my dad, my boyfriend, i just feel so alone.
my boyfriend has abusive parents and they’d kill him, my mom would be livid but she’d take it well in the end. my dad is so sweet and he’s always there for me and i’m terrified he’d be disappointed in me and not love me the same. but i know i do have to tell them, i’ll do it sometime this week. or today, depending on how this goes.
my mom thinks i’m anemic, and she knows recently i’ve been nauseous, sore boobs, etc. and she asked me if i’m pregnant (before i knew i was) and i said no way. so she still kinda suspects it but that’s not the reason she’s bringing me to the doctors. she wants them to take my blood and do tests to see if i possibly am anemic and she wants them to put me on meds cause she thinks i have the flu or a virus or something.
i can’t tell her before we go, i just can’t. the appointment is in 30 minutes but i’m not ready to tell her just yet. i need to prepare myself. thing is its before my period wouldve came and i took a first response which detects early pregnancy, so maybe it’s too early for a blood test to tell?
and if it did show would it show up when they’re testing for something specific like anemia, or would it only show that i’m anemic or not and nothing else?
and if it did would they say something to me or my mom? thanks for the help.
UPDATE: hey everyone, thanks for the advice. i appreciate it, it really helped. sooo at the doctors, they asked me if i could be pregnant and i shook my head no because i was scared and my plan was to play it off like i didn’t know... sounds kinda immature i know lol but it’s the only thing i could think of in the moment and there were some comments suggesting that and i needed some time to think soo..
my mom gave me a look and told the doctor to test for pregnancy anyway because of the symptoms i’ve been having.
we waited in the room and i was getting scared and getting pale and stuff because i was so nervous.
my mom started saying things like “i swear to god you better not be pregnant” and i just sat there like an idiot. the doctor came in and told her that i am pregnant (and not anemic).
my mom tried to keep it together in the room while doctors went over some options, and the minute we left and got in the car she started yelling (which i expected and understand) and she called my dad and started saying shit like “your daughters pregnant, come get her. i don’t want her anymore” (she’s said this shit before so i don’t really take it personally, i know it’s out of anger) and my dad was so disappointed, i’ve never seen him yell like that before. he even started crying because i’m his baby and now i don’t have a chance at a normal life and a good education and the high school experience and all that.
my mom took my phone for the night and this morning she gave it back and apologized for being so harsh, and that she shouldn’t have been surprised because she did let us alone in my room with the door closed and even sometimes locked...
and sooo she has my back now.
i told my boyfriend and he started crying and my heart broke cause i didn’t want him to get kicked out. my mom invited his parents over and we all talked about what were gonna do. his father was FURIOUS, but were figuring things out.
my boyfriend really really wants me to get an abortion because he wants a normal teenage life with his friends and school and sports and family and i feel fucking terrible because i took that away from him and if i just simply get an abortion i can save him from being a dad. i just can’t. and when i told his grandparents this they told me that i probably wanted this kid and i’m trapping him. and i feel awful because this was meant in no way to trap him or anything and i want him to be nothing but happy but i need to do what’s best for my own happiness too. raising a kid will be hard no doubt, but i know i can’t get an abortion. i’m considering adoption but in the end i feel like i’ll end up keeping the baby
thank you for everyone who actually gave me advice. i t really made me feel less alone in a this situation. thanks again loves
