17 and pregnant

What would you do, and do you think that its way too young to have a kid?
To be honest with you...... I think it is, but I have no other choice.
What would you do?

I would accept that there would be a child that I would have to care for and I would love that child with everything I had.

The best i could.
I would seek help from my family and friends and face up to my responsibilities. I would also look foreward to having a baby who will love you more than anything else in the world.
Good luck sweets =)

If i was 17 and pregnant i think i would get an abortion, because i want to go to uni and having a child that young would just hinder that my education and my life would go infront of the living being that would be inside me, because once iv gotten to where i want to be in life i can settle down to a life of a mother and not have to go through all the stress of think will i be able to go to uni and look after this baby will my family will how will i live.... To much and to stressful i would say.

My mom was 17 when she had me, but honestly, she was amazingly mature and motivated. I never lacked for anything in my life. Anyone can do anything, it just depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice and children are worth every bit. It will be hard and it will be scary, you can't escape that no matter what your age.

Get all the help and support you can from family and friends.It doesn`t have to end your education,many people graduate high school and college after becoming a parent,It really is the most beautiful thing in the world
to see your own child for the first time.good luck.

I know this girl who got preg at the age of 12 or 13 and she got an abortion. D=

Honestly, i would give it up for adoption. my aunt and uncle couldn't have kids so they adopted from a girls who was pregnant really young. but you don't have to worry about it not going to a family who doesn't care because they waited for 10 years for a baby and they talk to relatives and friends and people you work with. people who give their baby up for adoption can also make contact with their child if they please.

Well personally i dont believe in abortion.. i so i would say go on with the pregnancy and have the baby.. it depends more on maturity and wether ur mentally ready to look after the child./.. make sure u have plenty of support from family and friends... and u wil be fine
all the best of luck xxx

I do think it's too young, but the way I see it, it's a blessing that God has sent you. Having a baby is the most wonderful thing and I should know, I just had my son this month. I would certianly have it, even if the dad isn't gonna help out. I'm not into that whole abortion thing and anyone cruel enough to do that to their baby, doesn't value the things God sends you. I hope my words helped out and good luck to you.

I had my first son at 17. He is now 16 and a normal teenager.

Yes, it is a young age to have a child, but it is not impossable to raise them and continue on in school and life.

Have a good support system around you.

My mom was 16 when she had me. and my gma was 18 when she had my dad. so, it can be done. my mom dropped out of school, but she went back and graduated. i think there can be a balance between school and your baby. just keep your head up high.

and to ^ ^ you don't need to be so insensitive to other people. if i was pregnant i'd probably want someone to talk to. if you don't like pregnancy posts, why do you read them?

anyway, i wish the original poster the best of luck =]

Unless you've been living in a cave you should know the options:

^AHAHAHHHA.

Thanx so much for helping me and i dont pay attention to insensitive people. You dont know how much it means to me to know that you can. I'm just scared. I promised myself i wouldnt be like all those other girls, as i used to call them. But now....... I understand there situation and feel bad for judging them, because I'm in the situation. It feels good to have help. Thanx so much and I wish you all the best of luck with you lives.
♥♥♥

Good luck to you as well! It might be hard, but most people say that their children are their most precious gifts in life. Peace.

I promised myself i wouldnt be like all those other girls, as i used to call them. But now....... I understand there situation and feel bad for judging them, because I'm in the situation.

It is always easier to understand once you are or have been there. Judgement is easy to pass, life however, is not so easy and not always perfect. Do the best you can and stay positive. Best of luck.

Well,
I been there in this situation.. i got pregnant at 16..
my friend had her baby at 15..

so if i was u, accept the fact u are havin a lil one... thats harded then ne1 thinks.. cause i thought i couls accpet it, n thought i knew wht was happenin. but when i seen the ultrasound wit my lil gurl, reality happend.. seeing is believin...

i thought i would b the best mom. no problems.. i was wrong. its rlly hard. theres days i thought it was a mistake to have her. ill get mad, n jus yell at her.. but then i think. its not her fault shes here. she didnt ask for it... so jus take it from my experience.. no1 is perfect n its not easy.. but u can do it
its hard to take care of a baby.. no joke. im not gonna lie.. but u have to do what needs to b done. no1 is perfect, n grant it, sum moms r better then others.. but u jus need to do r best. make good choices... i wish u the best of luck.. u can private message me if u wanna talk more about it...

i

Well i dont want to sound like a mom because im not im only 14
but if you dont want to get pregnant dont have sex simple
nothing is 100% protection against everything so it is young to only be 17 i mean just wait until after high school and collage it will make everything more simple and better

If i was 17 and pregnant i think i would get an abortion, because i want to go to uni and having a child that young would just hinder that my education and my life would go infront of the living being that would be inside me

^how selfish of u!!! its not the babies fault u had sex and got pregnant....i dont believe in abortion at all....if u cant care for the baby there are plenty of ppl out there that would love to have one but cant!!!!

and to the girl thats pregnant...good luck....that baby will be lucky to have a mom like u thats already concerned for her!!! it means u already love him/her!!!!

I just want to say thanx for everyone thats wrote me back and put comments on here...... I really dont know what else to say to everyone who told to get an abortion. I'm having the baby. I couldnt kill something because I made a mistake. I've had a lot of help and have been working and I understand that everyones entitled to an opinion. Thank you for being there and telling me to hang in there. I think I knew from the beginning what I was gonna do I just needed help with the dissicussion. Thanx so much for the help and the answers. I really apprieciate.
It really is true when you dont know what its like till you are, or are gonna be there.
