Found out i was pregnant on Monday although it is yet to be confirmed by a doctor i have had symptoms of pregnancy and 4 positive pregnancy test so i definetly am pregnant. I told my mum and dad and they were shocked as i am only 17 and they thought i didn't want children but they are now happy for me. When i found out i was pregnant i cried but i relised i wanted to bring the baby up and love it so i am keeping it. I am only 4 weeks so early days yet but i have started to tell people about my pregnancy and all i am hearing is 'get an abortion you have your whole life to live' I want the baby and it is really upsetting me the way people have reacted... I just want people to be happy for me!! has any one else had this problem? Amazingly it is most my friends and my parents friends! my family are happy for me which was surprising!

the main thing is that your parents are happy for u and that they will support u through the whole pregnancy u dont need other ppl telling u to get an abortion that is horrible. i wouldnt listen to them and stand your own ground and do what u feel is comfortable. dont allow outsiders tell u otherwise.
congratulations and goodluck with your baby xxxx

Hiya hunny...

I gues you must be feeling pretty confused and frustrated about now huh? Thing is... No matter how old you are, the decision you need to make is, "do I want to be a mum"
Truth is... you can be 17 or 37 and at the end of the day, unless you want to be a mum, and have your own bundle of joy, you need to decide.

The biggest thing you have on your side, is that your parents are supportive! You are going to have some good times, and some low times, but if you can get into bed, and hear your mum and dad say they love you, and you are a few months away from being a mum...and the thought of that makes you very very happy... then you know what to do!

Stick to what makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and dont let people push you around because you are 17!

Lots of hugs,

well i was in the same situation i had my 1st daughter at 17 everyone went ballistic to say the least appart from hubbys family they were very supportive, my friends disowned me my family disowned me * until i had her* and everyone couldn;t wait to get their two cents in about how much i had ruined my life blah blah but 6 years on i have 2 wonderful girls and a baby boy on the way im happily married * yes to the same guy shock horror!* and we have a lovely life we spend loads of time doing things with the kids have enough money to live and our kids are happy at the end of the day life is what you make it just because you have a baby at 17 doesn;t mean you cant do anything ever again i still do all the things people my age do it just takes more planning lol congratulations!

at the end of the day it is your choice there is never a right time to have a baby but as long as your happy an ya family are it dont matter. ya mates are most probs jealous or annoyed they'll have no one to drink with at the weekend but as for your rents mates.... ignor them... what has their oppinion got to do with your life.... did they ring u up???? NO.... are they ur mat??? NO just ignor them babe and enjoy the fact ur gonna be a great mum !!!!!!

I am only 18 and found out i am 8weeks pregnant. I have so many thoughts going round in my head, im so confussed!!. I haven't had the courage to tell my family yet and I have pushed my partner away. I no my family are going to freak and my partner doesn't want to know. I just feel so alone, i have not even considered an abortion. I have come to terms with this in my own way and I just want to do my best for my baby.

Hiya hunny....

Stop and think this through for a minute.
You DONT know that your parents are gonna freak, and you DONT know how your partner will react. The truth is that if your partners walks away from this, then he should have no part of this!
AND... and doubt very much that your parents will freak. They will probably be very shocked at first, but like all parents, they love you and will support your decisions. If you want to give your baby up, do it for the right reasons, NOT because of how you think people will react!

I know you are scared and feeling lonely, but you did the right thing putting it out here to us! If you ever want to talk, you just let me know, but please think about this first! Trust your family! and trust yourself!

You are not alone!

Love and hugs

I have to agree with julesmj, it is you're baby and you're decision. I can't believe people are telling you to get an abortion, I'm also 17 and like you my parents are very supportive although they were shocked at first. My friends have been looking out for me and I'm really grateful for that, I don't know how I would feel in your situation, I hope that they come to their senses and realise that it is 100% up to you what you do and I hope they stand by you.

Good luck with your pregnancy hun!

Well I would like to say congratulations to you. You should not have to listen to people saying things like that to you. You are the only one who can make a decision like that and it is disgusting that people even bring that subject up with you unless you have asked for their advice. The good thing is you have support from your family and it is really important for you to have someone you can talk to, stick with the positive people around you, it is stressful enough without negative influences!!. I went through an abortion myself 5 years ago and I still think about it everyday now. It is one of the hardest things you can deal with and not something you should ever do because someone else has told you to do it. I know now that my decision was right for me at the time and I was lucky that my partner was someone I could always turn to and he still is now, but I could never have done it just becuase someone else thought I should. We are now expecting a baby and we are soooo excited and things are so different now for us. I am 11 weeks and very nervous but so pleased. You are doing the right thing for you and your child and do not let anyone tell you any different. You will be a great mum and I hope everything goes well for you. Remember not to listen to the negative poeple around you. J xx
