I'm 15 and i think i'm pregnant.

i'm 15 16 in august and i think i'm pregnant. i'm bout 2 1/2 weeks late on my period and i've been having other symptoms too. frequent headaches, dull backache at the bottom of my back, feeling sick during the day (including in my science lesson!) my moods seem to change on an hourly basis, my boobs are really tender and im peeing for england! also, im fnding it fairly hard to get comfrtable. i've been with my boyfriend just over a year and 1/2 and hes being really supportive he's 17 and just lost his job and he's already frantically looking for another one.. i'm not worried about finishing school because i finish in may for my study leave so ill be able to get my gcses.. im more scared about telling my mum if i am.. i dont know how she would react.. or my boyfriends family. if i am pregnant i will keep it because i made the decision to have sex and i know the consequences its my own fault not the babies. does anyone have any tips on telling parents? if so i would really appreciate them! and sorry this is so long! xx

Try to stay calm

Im also 15 and preg I supposted to have my period the 7th and look what happen. Its a hard thing specially when your young but dont give up. If youre not ready adoption is a choice but if you want it then goahead and keep it. Get a preg test the best ones are CLEAR BLUE DIGITAL. Good luck..You have a good heart by the way

Hi

The best thing to do is get a test and find out for sure, the symptoms do sound like your pg but do the test and find out. You seam very mature saying you would keep the baby but if you are pregnant you need to speak to your family hopefully they will help you. Consider all your options, your very young and have lots to see and do.

PS if your not pregnant remember to use contraception

take care

I was 16

i was 16 when i had my first and doing my GCSEs like you and i managed , my mum took it badly but she got used to the idea and started looking forward to it like i was , i decided to move in with my bf and i'm going back to collage next year to study hairdressing , my little boy is 3 months old now and i am now 17 and i'm glad i kept my little boy, but i think the first thing you need to do , find out for sure , second , decide if your going to keep it or not and third , if you do decide tokeep it tell your mum , if you dont decide to keep it go for an abortion and your mum doesnt have to know about it ,

Write a note

If you find it hard to say embarressing/hard/scary things to your folks, write down exactly how you feel in a letter, then it's up to your parents to speak to you which is easier than you picking your moment. good luck

My daughter told me..now i am a nanny

ok well sounds to me like you have your head screwed on.
You mum will be horrified, shocked , feel like she has failed and be angry that you are "going to ruin your life" and she has to be allowed to feel that way..because thats just plain honest and understandable feelings.
Dont blame her for it..its natural..but if you stick to your guns..like my daughter did..you will realise there is a lot of help and support for you (if you dont mind jumping through hoops of fire for it) and NONE is available for your Mum. It has to be the closest i have ever come to depression. Mum will need you to be calm, clear and sure that you want to take responsibiity for your own actions. Ask for help, but understand her fear for you. The council must house you, and as a single parent (you dont have to trap your BF...but he can still be around you) you do get a lot of financial help.
I am a proud Nanny...and glad i let my husband "throw her out" because now she has her own place and enough to live on independantly. I see them every day...and she is now taking an OU degree and driving lessons (which we pay for).
Get the test...take a deep breath...and tell her...its a long long way to go alone.
Also tell school , they have tons of help for you..just waiting..no reason at all why you cant do your exams, and be ready to get a good job once the baby goes to school.
If you are Uk,they will even give you free childcare..for you to study more.
Hugggs you for strength
Telling Mum is the first step on a long long ladder of growing up..and being a great mum yourself.

p.s. my daughter wrote me some lovley "thankyou " cards...which I will treasure for ever.

Hi hun

Sounds like you have a lot of pregnancy symptoms so you could well be pregnant. The first thing you need to do really is to take a test and find out if you are or not. You can either buy a test from chemist, or go to a family planning clinic or GP and they will do a test for free. That's great that you have got a supportive boyfriend, just find out for sure first and then you can go from there. And there's no reason you couldn't go back to college in a year or two, as you will get your GCSE's. I was a bit older that you (20) when I got pregnant, so not got many tips about telling parents at your age I'm afraid, Kaz (Rileyangel) is a bit younger than me so she may have some advice for you.

You have definately come to the right place if you need any advice or support though.

Lots of hugs.
