As a 17 year old I have no idea what to do. I’m not with the father and my parents are most definitely not with this kind of thing. Can anyone give me advice?

Question

Answer

Start taking prenatal vitamins immediately and contact either your OB or a free women’s clinic. Even though the conversation with your parents may be difficult, you should have it. Support will be so important. Even under less than ideal circumstances, you can be a great mom! ❤️

Answer

I was seventeen when I had my daughter... i was scared but that made me grow up because i knew i had to give her a good life. I sacrificed A LOT and it was extremely challenging. But 9 years later she is happy and healthy and i teach at her school!

I too lived at home (i hope your family will be supportive because it makes it much easier) I was in hs no job, but i graduated from hs and went straight to college (there are many resources to help you, you just have to look) now im going back for my masters! Im 27 now so its finally coming together. I didn't have her father but you can show your child how to be strong and independent! Never rely on anyone. My SO now is the best father figure to her! Life works in mysterious ways...but it has MANY rewarding challenges. 
I remember being telling my dad im never going to graduate... i NOW KNOW I CAN DO ANYTHING! AND SO CAN YOU! ❤ DONT BE A STATISTIC you can do it!

Answer

I got pregnant when I was 17 and I terminated , it was the best decision for me, i graduated high school , did the whole college thing, went out with friends.
Fast forward, I'm 24 now and my son will be 1 next month. I literally have no life, its lonely I'm a single mom, my mother doesnt help at all, I barely work, I dont have time for myself .. my life changed 
Do what's best for you though..

Answer

Outside of having to tell your parents, definitely look into the teen moms of YouTube. Deargreyson, journeywithjax, and Mia Jeal are good people to watch if you need people to relate to. There’s also tons of groups in this app with young moms. There’s even groups for young women who are are planning/planned there baby who are under 18. Best of luck to you!

Answer

Also, Congratulations! You might not hear it as much as you should but seriously, congrats.

Answer

Talk to your parents. Although if my 16 year old came home and said hey btw I’m gonna be a dad, I’d be pissed. I know he has sex I’m not stupid but if the time comes and this happens I want to be his biggest support. You got this and your parents are your parents at the end of the day, they can be pissed but they love you all the same.

Answer

Girl I’m 30 and still haven’t told my dad and I’m 19weeks praying for you! You got this!

Answer

Don’t worry about the father. I’m pregnant and not with him either. If you know you can give this child love thats what matters most. Also find some support system. It will make it less scary.

Answer

First thing is don’t stress. 
I’ve been here had my son when I was 17 and my daughter when I was 18. 
Father or no father you do what’s best for you and what you want. 
If your worried about your parents confided in one you speak to the most about things and you can be surprised. And they can help you then tell your other parent, 
My mother who I thought would think the worst of me actually helped me a lot and was very understanding. 
But no matter what you process what’s happening and think what is best for you and not anyone else. 
Hope all goes well! X

Answer

My unplanned nephew was put up for adoption. I'm friends with his mom on Facebook and I love scrolling through my feed and seeing his pictures pop up. Not only does he look just like my brother did but I can see that he has been an amazing blessing for that family and they are an amazing blessing for him. 
I'm sorry you are in such a difficult situation. There is plenty of support out there from pregnancy centers and the like. Know that your situation isn't going to be permanent.
People make mistakes. People aren't mistakes. You and your baby are both special. You'll make it through, mama.
