Pregnancy - Teens Support Group

I was there a little over 2 years ago when a rumor flew threw my tiny town in Montana and since everyone here knows everyone I got kicked out of my dads house. So I was forced to live with my mom in Canada(was an awesome time though). I didn't tell my mom until I was 25 weeks along. She was pissed omg that woman was upset. But she soon liked the idea of becoming a grandma(at age 33 lolz my bad). My dad was told that I wasn't pregnant by my mom but he soon was told like 3 days before my daughters birth lol. He wasn't as mad as I thought he would be especially since he kicked me out over a rumor. But even though both my parents were upset and disappointed in me they still love and care for me and my daughter. Though it might not seem like it now things will work out.
My daughter is now 21 months and I turn 17 in a few days.

hii i am in the same boat as you,im 8 weeks pregnant and dont have support frm anyone especially the father.it can get relly depressing if u wanna talk im here

hey, thanks to both of you for replying! its really nice to know that there are people out there who know what im going through at least a little bit. its so important to have support!

I was 16 when I got pregnant with my now 7 month old daughter. I was in foster care if you know what that is. My daughters father was not ready for a baby, and split a week after we found out. I was alone to. I didnt have anyone to talk to either. My whole pregnancy, I was pointed at, talked about, laughed at, and especially hated. My daughter was the only highlight in my life. I wish that I could say that it gets easier, but with out anyone to talk to it doesnt. I know that when I had my daughter, that was when people wanted something to do with me. I got the shitty end of the deal, but at least my daughter did not have to suffer. My daughter was loved from the moment she was born, but not before. Her father is still not involved, but I have a fiance, who loves me and my daughter. When I was pregnant, I did not see anything going for me, but look at me now! I know that the next 7 months will be difficult, but keep your head up for your baby, and whatever you do, DO NOT GET AN ABORTION! DO NOT KILL YOUR INNOCENT BABY! And I was wondering, did you tell the father of your baby that you are pregnant? If you havent, you need to, because sometimes the fathers will be the best support you can have... Good luck and God send!

Hey, i'm 17, and pregnant for the second time. & i really dont have anybody to talk to about it either. so if you wanna chat, email me at countrygirl5263@frontiernet.net !!

I think since you are now about 14 weeks along you can safely say you have made the decision to not have an abortion. With that being said, one of two things will happen. You will have the baby and raise him or her, or you will have the baby and place him or her with an adoptive family. You should be made aware that certain states allow you to put your baby into the foster care system for a length of time that you designate, and you can even visit your baby during their stay in foster care. This can give you time to decide whether or not you want to raise your baby, and allow you to save money and get your life in order. You'll need to look up the specific laws in your state, and can talk to a social worker to find out more.

If your mom is not being supportive, but she once was, consider her end of it. She is probably conflicted and confused about your pregnancy because you are still her little girl in her eyes. I would give your mom time and ask her to come to a prenatal appointment with you. It is possible that if she sees the baby during an ultrasound or hears the baby's heartbeat that she might feel more connected to you and your baby.

If she still continues to be unsupportive, you'll have to determine how you plan to care for your child, or if you want to proceed with an adoption plan. Being a parent is difficult, and without your parent's help it can be even harder. I am not trying to deter you from keeping your child if this is what you truly want, however, because if you feel that it is right then there is a way to make it work. There are so many options available for young mothers, and you will likely have to do some real digging to find them. There are programs where pregnant teens and their children (once they are born) can live to help them get their high school diploma, and teach them how to be good parents. You can look into this more if you talk to a social worker or your doctor.

Right now, I'm 17 and I will be 13 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow. My mom is an alcoholic, and me and my boyfriend could no longer live with her. She wound up hitting me in the stomach and I had to go to the Emergency Room to make sure my baby was OK. I am happy to say that my baby was just fine. His father has caused some problems during my pregnancy, but he eventually came around and offered us a room in his house. He said that I had to get my GED (which I planned on doing anyway), get another job, and keep the house clean. We also have to buy our own groceries. Things have been difficult so far, and knowing that we are going to raise our baby has added some stress. I wouldn't change it for the world, though.

i also got pregnant at the age of 16. I was so scared to tell my family. When i did they were so mad but as time passed they accepted the fact that i wanted the baby and was going to support it. It just take s a little time for them to get used to the idea. in your eyes u r still their little girl. I am 25 now and my son is 8 he is the light of my parents eye and i have never been closer to them.

i was 17 when i fell pregnant with my son i had people to help out as his father was no good, we were still together till a year and half ago when i kicked him out as i have done every thing for my son who is coming up 2 in oct, i am now 25 weeks pregnant with twin boys, and with a wonderful lad, if any of u need some one to talk to u can add me to msn xsarahxloux@hotmail.com or e mail me :) xx
