I'm thirteen and pregnant What should I do?

Answer 1

I think you should keep the baby. It will give you and your boyfriend so much more in your relationship. As for how to to tell your parents - that's a big one. I think you should be honest with them and tell them how you feel about the situation. If you WANT the baby, tell them and explain your reasoning. You need to make the decision for yourself, don't let them or anyone else make it for you. Just be honest with them. Personally I would say "it's my life, therefore it's my decision". I really hope you want the baby and end up keeping it. Never regret your decision, and give it all you've got.

You have so much ahead of you like school, college, your career and so much more. Now you find yourself young and pregnant, it is not smart, you are still a little girl yourself.

If you think having a baby will make a teenage relationship stronger, you are very mistaken. If anything the stress will likely force the relationship to end, that is if the guy doesn't take off running when he finds out. You will have many decisions to make in life already without adding a baby to your list of responsibilities.

From this point on your priority is taking care of that baby, should you choose to keep it. This means you can forget about going out with friends, partying, experiencing the wonders life has to offer at your age. Going to the mall or the movies becomes very difficult and you may end up just having to leave anyway if the baby gets fussy. Having a baby at any age is a lot to deal with, and being so young you do not have the ability to do so on your own. Your only option is to rely on your parent(s) for help and that really isn't fair them them.

I think you should consider your options carefully, discuss them with a trusted advisor who has proven to be successful in life. Create a list of the pros and cons. Personally I would suggest giving the baby up for adoption. Doing so will give another couple and incredible gift and will give you a second chance at life. You will have the freedom to be young, date, grow within yourself, and live life to the fullest. I really hope everything works out for you.

A friend of mine had a baby and I suggested she give it up for adoption. You can make sure the adoptive parents are stable enough to take care of your baby. You can set the rules e.g. requiring they be married or been steadily employed for a number of years.

I am sure it sounds cool to think of having a baby around, but it isn't all fun and games. If you want to play with babies, get a job babysitting. I don't believe in abortion unless the pregnancy is a threat to the mother's life, but adoption is a good way to help someone and yourself at the same time. I wish you and your baby all the best in whatever decision you make. Keep your head up and always look towards the future and the possibilities that like has in store for you.

Wow, this is a serious situation. Do you want the baby? If you don't think you can care for the baby, you can have an abortion. If you don't want to have an abortion you can have it & then put it up for adoption.

First, you need to talk with someone you trust, hopefully your Mom. Then you need to decide if you want to have the baby or not. If you decide to have the baby, you need to decide if you want to give it up for adoption or if you are in the position (financially, emotionally) to raise the baby yourself. After all that, you either need to get on Birth Control or stop having sex until you're better prepared. You shouldn't be crossing that line yet.

Im 14 and i got pregnant at 13 and decided to keep the baby. First its best to tell someone you trust like a best friend or sister? Then you MUST tell you parents if you decide to keep the baby. Its hard to tell them but the sooner you get it done the easier and less stressed you can be!
