If you are in the US, most states, if not all, offer government assistance to pregnant women. Go to your local health department, and they can usually hook you up with some more information about what you need to do as far as getting assistance, and medical care for you and your baby.

Planned parenthood seems to be in a lot of places. They are really good with advice and options. They can help you apply for insurance and even tell you some places that offer free care. Also, being only one month pregnant you don't need to get too worried yet. Most people don't go to the doctor until they are around 10 weeks pregnant, so you have some time to apply for insurance etc. You can even buy prenatal vitamins over the counter now, so you can start taking them right away.

When i was pregnant with my daughter who is 7 now i considered having an abortion and rang pro life anti abortion help line. They said if you have one your parner will probably leave you anyway and that you should only have an abortion if its what you want. I decided to keep her she was planned by me not him but he was violent and i have never looked back. I left west london and started a new life in South London to get away from him. 6 years later i have a 2 bedroom house, am at college have a new suportive partnr who i have lived with for over 2 years and i have never had so many honist,loving supportive friends. Have a lovely loval church and basically what i am saying is you must choose which is more importan to you your unborn child or your partner. I have no family as such just auntys brother so i look to a man for that family. Maybe your boyfriend will come around when can you get someone to have a word with him so that he can change his mind. Maybe he's afraid of this like changing event also. only do it if you really want to. You are top priority for government help go get it before you are 20, go get some folic acid and take 400mg aday to help teh baby develop properly. oh its natural to feel confused yourself at this stage all my babies were planned and i considered having an abortion with most of them its an easy escape from what seems like a scary event. Its an amazing experience being pregnant. Maybe if you show your Mum you are doing everything you can for yourself and your baby she will be there for you. Alot of doctors don't do referals to hospital until say 12 weeks anyway so just eat healthilly and accept that you are pregnant and if you yourself don't want it without any pressure from anyone else you can see how you feel in 8 months and if you still don't want the baby have him/her adopted. Or go get counselling to help you through this. Keep my name and contact me if you need any advice.

I went on Medicaid right away. It has been so helpful. I believe everystate has a program that can help you. Like the ladies said find a planned parenthood, or your local WIC office or anyplace that helps with parents and children, they can help you find some help. Also remember (this is only my opnion) you and your b/f knew the risks associated with having sex, if he's man enough to get you pregnant than he should deal with the "consiquences" Go buy some prenatals and try to find some assistance. You can do it!!!

Never get an abortion b/c the guy wants you to. It's not his body, so what does he care? It is only your decision. If he didn't want children he should have thought of that before the sex. I'm obviously pro-life....but there are people out there with difficult situations. There is some good information on here. We are here to support you.

Micah is right. You can go to the health department and they will be able to help you out with what you need to know. Where I live, there is a program at the hospital that women who are pregnant and need assitance from Medicaid go and they take care of it from there. Right now make sure you go to Wal-Mart or something and get you some prenatal vitamins and start taking them. They will help your baby develop right now and throughout your pregnancy. They are over the counter and not too expensive. As far a abortion, it is your choice, it will be hard without your boyfriends support of the baby, but it is your choice. The health department will help you out, don't be afraid to ask questions and tell them your concerns.

Don't do it because he wants it. Life may be difficult without a partner's support. I personally discourage against abortion because the possible new life is innocent. Having said that, I am unsure about your situation so all I can advice is.. Ask yourself what you really want for yourself and if you are ready for the responsibilities as a mom. If you are, like what many others have adviced, there are many medical/govt assistance out there which you can seek help. Since you are one month into the pregnancy, it is crucial that you get an appt with a doctor real soon. Apparently having to schedule a doctor soon enough can be crazy, it might take one month to be able to schedule my first. Remember, your health matters too..Take care and God bless

Sorry I meant I discourage abortion... must have typed too fast:P

iam pro choice i never had abortion hint why i 20 and pregnent with my three child but i actually went with my friends when they have thiers
the best advice i can give is do what you feel is right don't listen to anyone else if you deep down want an abortion dont get one cause the guy that knock u up say to that a huge mistake i know a girl who did that and she still tramized from it and the guy ended dumping anyway.i also knew i girl who had one and she still with her boyfriend and she still thinks she made the right choice she still wonders what it would be like if she didnt do it i know everyone i know that had one wonders that

Hi, Take it from someone who is older you need to talk to planned parenthood and do what is best for you need to be healthy and happy and I am sure they can anwser any questions you might need and they will listen and not judge you. I have a 4 year old and I am expecting twins in July and it scared me I could'nt imagine how you must be feeling. I wish you luck!!

It took me about 3 years to get pregnant. I have something called PCOS. It affects my overies. I have been blessed with my first baby. I know that if I didn't get pregnat my heart would have been empty for ever. I now have my baby comming. Have you concidered your oppions. Adoption is something that save more than one life. Some people would give anything to have your baby. Just give it some thought. Some one whats your baby. They would love it and care for it and give it everything that its little heart desired. By the way did you know that your babies heart is beating right now. Kind of a cool thought.

Coming from someone who has been in your situation and at the same age as well, do what is right for you and dont let ANYONE influance your decision. FYI not to sound cruel, but if you opt out of an abortion, there is a 3 day "return" policy on newborns, and what that means is, if you opt to try to have your baby and decide within 3 days after having him or her that you cant or dont want to do it. You can bring your baby to ANY ER and hands down no questions asked you can leave it there and the baby will be put into a loving home.
