Normally, my periods are regular as clockwork. However, I was due last wed1st oct but there is still nothing! I have been having cramping as if it was about to start, but it hasnt? Any ideas why this could be? I am 20 years old.

loads of things really?
is it possible for you to be pregnant?
have you been stressing over anything?
stress can cause late periods, its quite common
do you use any contreception? ie - the depo injection? tho i doubt you do as you are regular?
id do a P test just to rule that out, and go see the docs, i wouldnt worry tho, its a common thing
good luck xxx

I totally freaked out when i took the test. But I have said for a while that I want kids so I am OK about it now. I have told my boyfriend and he is very scared, but also wants a child. Just we were planning to wait until we both had steady jobs etc.
How do I go about telling my mum?? I cant see myself sitting down with her and sayin 'oh by the way, I am pregnant'..!!!?!

do you have any sisters/brothers you can talk to get support from to be with you when talk to your mum?

Think long and hard about whether you really want a baby or not. They are such hard work, and that it from someone who is in a committed relationship and who is financially secure. I had a termination when I was 17 because my then boyfriend wasn't interested and it just didn't fit into the 'grand plan' at the time. I didn't have my daughter until I was 33 and I still didn't feel ready. You have to make so many sacrifices when you have kids and part of me wishes I could have my old life back. I probably think about the other baby everyday, but I don't regret the decision I made.
