Pregnancy at a young age.
By army2012rotc 2 Months Ago
I'm 14-years old and currently 3 months pregnant. I know everybody says that teenagers have difficulties during pregnancy,but I haven't. Most boys won't stick around at this age because they "have better things to do." My boyfriend is 2-years older than me,he's 16. His parents tried to get him to leave me,and the baby. They told him that he was just throwing his life away. I'm completly against abortion,and there is no one that could ever talk me into it. I'll admit I'm scared,but who wouldn't be at my age. I don't think I'm throwing my life away. We thought we were doing an innocent crime,and that no result would come out of it. We were wrong,yes,but now we're still together and I'm glad. My parents had a hard time dealing with it,but my older sister had her first kid at 16. She was almost forced into abortion because my parents didn't want to accept it. Her son is now 4-years old,and she has 2 more kids. I just need advice. Do any of you think that what I did was wrong? I know to an extent it was,but I want to know what you guys think I should do? If your against abortion,that's good,so am I. I'd never take an innocent life,just because of a mistake I made. I regret doing it now,but I know that when my child is born and in my arms,I won't regret a single thing. I still want advice on:
1.Do any of you think that what I did was wrong?
2.What do you guys think I should do?

Oh, this is a really hard place to be in esp at your age. You sound very responsible for your age and like you are really thinking it thru. Go with your heart, it will be really hard for you and your boyfriend. Don't let anyone tell you what to do. Please learn from this & discourage other young friends to be safe.
Good luck & take care of yourself.

Wow, it seems like you have quite the predicament on your hands. And I thought I was young to be having a baby. lol! Don't worry though, there's a lot of others out there like you. I am in the same boat as you though. I don't believe in abortion. No one in my family does. However, everyone in my boyfriend's family thinks that it would probably be the best thing for HIM! We've been together for two years and he's 5 years older than me. His mother would love for him to dump me and support this child only through child support. We are both lucky that we have guys to sick around for us!

I don't think that exploring at a young age is wrong. Some people mature sexually at a younger age than others. I totally get where you're coming from. The key thing is to know how to protect yourself against things like this. Of course there can be accidents and that's a given. The way I see it though is that things happen for a reason. I know that for me, having a baby is definitely going to complete a part of me that has been empty for a long long time.

The most important thing to remember, I think, is that you're living for two right now and you can't be worried about what others think about this. This is YOUR baby and the rest of your life! You're right, the baby shouldn't have to die because people think that it's wrong. You created a miracle with someone that you love. Focus on that. It will definitely give you warm fuzzy feelings! I know it does for me.

I hope that my thoughts ease your mind and you feel more comfortable about going through this pregnancy. I know it's a big step in your life and one that you probably didn't think would happen for a long time yet. But hey - it did, and you just have to keep trucking on and forget that it's a mistake. If you don't, you'll end up resenting the baby and that's not fair. He/she didn't do anything! So, chin up and remember that there are lots of people with the same doubts. You're not alone sweetie! And congrats on the little one!

just make sure you get some good birth control for after you have this one cause its a little late now

anyway make sure that you still continue with your education because its going to be even more important than ever since your future will not only affect you but it will also affect the new baby i would also check into some local assistance programs in your area that could give you some benefits and information on pregnancy

also you sound very mature about the situation and knowing what you want and can handle is huge at your age

good luck with the future

What you did wasn't wrong, but it was stupid. If you're mature enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to handle the consequences.

One of my younger friends got pregnant when she was 16. She had two years of high school left and was counting on a basketball scholarship to go to college. She made the decision early on to go the adoption route. The couple that adopted her baby were really nice and wanted my friend to stay part of the baby's life.

I think you should seriously consider this. You're so young and you have so much to look forward to. You need to think about yourself such as the fun times you're going to miss out on in high school and college.

Also a 14 year old can't provided financially for a baby. How are you going to go to college with a 6 year old? It's so hard, I know it is personally and I'm sorry to be so up front with you. If you want the best possible for your baby, you should really think about the kind of life you're going to give it.
