Pregnant...

[missyR]

I posted on here yesterday telling you all my fears i may be pregnant and was advised to book an appointment with my gp. I booked an appointment for 9:30 this morning and found out i am four weeks pregnant. I cant tell you how excited, scared and incredibly worried i feel. I went along with my boyfriend and hes thrilled. But i am 16, still in school and live with my parents i honestly don't know where to begin telling them so i have decided to write a letter explaining how we can work things out and i'm not having a termination. I just wanted to let you know. Heres the link of my question:http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Family/Question 335088.html

Congrats!!!!

I've read your posts in the past and you've always seemed a levelheaded girl to me, you'll be fine. For now telling your parents will be praying on your mind, but I'm sure once they've got over the initial shock they will do their best to help you.

Keepp us posted over how you get on, and once again congratualtions :-)

just wanted to say congrats!

it's SUCH hard work - i aint gonna lie, you really don't have a life at all haha but if you're old enough to have sex you're old enough to know what happens. very brave of you not taking the 'easy' way out.

i was 16 when i found out i was pregnant (17 when i had him and turned 18 6months after) - everybody was happy/excited for us although we had only been together a few weeks - they was all very very supportive. i honestly thought my grandparents would kill me, my nan especially she is VERY old fashioned and always goes on about how 'young girls throw away their lives' these days by having kids yet i got none of that and she adores my lil boy - she's besotted.


just tell them and bite the bullet, longer you leave it worse it becomes and chances are if you say at 7months pregnant that you're due in the next 2months they'll be pretty annoyed that you lied and kept it to yourself for so long! :D

congrats again!
