I realize that there are already a couple of these out there, but I figured I should make my own topic. Im 16( I turn 17 in a month) and I've had my boyfriend for a year and a half. We honestly love each other, and thats why, two months ago, we started having sex. Weve always used condoms. But, Today when I came home from school, I took a pregnancy test, just in case, and it turned out positive. I suppose Im sort of overwhelmed. Tyler and I talked about this before we started having sex, but I feel so different, I feel like nothing from before applies. So, I guess Im pregnant...

You need to tell your parents, and then take them with you to go see a doctor. If it's confirmed by the doctor that you're pregnant, then tell Tyler and he then needs to tell his parents.
From there, the doctor can help you what decision you should make regarding the pregnancy (if you're pregnant), and youcan start getting pre-natal care.

Last Night, I told my mom. She was pretty shocked, but she agreed to take me to the Doctor today. I went, and the doctor confirmed that I am, in fact, pregnant. So...I checked with the guidance counselor at my school...I only have a year left. And, she told me I could probably finish in one semester,but I havent even talked to Tyler yet. So, Im not even completely sure what is going to happen. I know that if I have the baby, I'll keep it...but I dont know yet. Im supposed to meet him for dinner tonight. I guess we'll see.

Although he is part of the situation, and regardless of what he wants to do, the final say is yours. Same with what your mother thinks you should do, etc.
And since you are pregnant, remember that you need to do what is best for the child. If you think it would be best to abort, then consider it. If you think it'd be best for the baby to be adopted based on your life situation right now, then you have that to think over. And if you think you can manage being a teen mother (or a single parent, if Tyler chooses not to stick around), then that's also ok, but you need to consider all of the consequences and how it will affect your future. For example, will you have financial and emotional support from your family? How/when will you get a job to support yourself and your child? Baby-sitter? Finances, and being able to give your baby the necessities and things it needs? Etc etc.
Good luck telling Tyler.

So, I reluctantly told Tyler last night, and I was, well, shocked by his reaction. He was actually happy, and excited. It was weird, cause he seemed to skip over the shock of it all. I guess because Tyler has already graduated and isnt going to college just yet, he wasnt too upset. Right now, hes working for his Dad's company at night and taking classes in the evening. We've discussed it, and he wants me to keep the baby, and finish highschool early; we pretty much agree. He already has his own apartment, so I guess I would move in there. The marriage issue has yet to be addressed, but I really dont like the idea of a shotgun wedding. I guess we're still in the planning school. Im kind of excited though.

wow! what a situation. well, just as long as you two are happy, and you two can definitely support the child along with yourselves at the same time, kudos to you for taking that initiative! and best of luck to you all smile Get all the prenatal care you can, and the vitamins aren't that great tasting, but they help a LOT for the baby. I definitely take them, I try not to forget to take them considering I'm trying a high-calorie diet since the doc.s say I'm not gaining enough weight. it's working out so far! so yeh, if you're not the healthy eater, be sure not to skip on the vitamins! So how far along are you? When are you due? I will be turning 20 tomorrow, I have been married to my Navy man for a year and we are expecting our first on March 17th smile

Hellooo. So sorry I havent replied or anything. I've been super busy with school and well, getting ready for the baby. I'm already about three months along, but not really showing yet. I can still wear my regular pants, which is a blessing because I dont know if I'm quite ready to buy maternity pants yet. The baby is due in Late April(April 29th). My parents have been fantastic, especially my mom. And Tyler has been working really hard. Hes still really excited. I'm officially 17, and I still live with my parents. I should move in with Tyler in like January or February when I finish school. I dont think that I'll have to take vitamins. I was a vegetarian, but I have officially become an omnivore since finding out about the baby. Thanks for reaching out, everyone.
