Does anyone have advice for a possibly pregnant teen?

I just turned 16 on the 27th. I think there is a good chance that I am pregnant. I missed my last two periodes. And I have an appointment with my doctor, and I'm fully prepared for what she has to say...but I was wondering if anyone had some advice for a teenage girl. Now please...please don't send me hate mail or be rude. I don't need that kind of stress right now thank you.

thank you so much. And I'm so happy, really I don't think I could be having a better time. I'm so excited!

I am glad you have a doctor's appointment. If it turns out you are pregnant, be open and honest with your parents and perhaps talk to a counselor. Make sure you take good care of yourself physically so that both you and the baby will be healthy.

Best of luck to you.

Congratulations on the pregnancy (I hope)
I became pregnant with my 1st at 17 so know how hard it can be at times, the best thing I can really say though before the baby is born is dont make up your mind about it until you have seen your 1st scan picture seeing your baby on that screen really is the make or break it is then that you really know whether you want this baby. after that your instincts wil just kick in just make sure you trust them instead of ignoring them and you can have a very good life whether your a young mum or not do not believe anyone when they say your life will be over I now have two kids and I am 19, but I am also finishing my 2nd year on a graphics course and will be attending uni next year. so if I can do it everyone can.

Thank you guys so much for this information! it was so helpful! And to Midge, thank you that was deep and Im so happy for you. and Mark21 Thank you for the advice!!

If you missed your past 2 periods you probably are. I also got pregnant at 17. (I'm 27 now). Its ok if you are. If you're like me (even though it may not seem like it now), it will be the best thing that ever happend to you. I'm glad you at least had enough sense to make a doctors appointment. I wish you the best with whatever you decide and whatever the outcome.

the first thing you need to be focusing on is the baby. when you are 2-4 months pregnant you are likely to have a miscarage if you are way stressed out. so you need to stay calm. you should be takeing some sort of vitimans too but a doctor will tell you all of that. do you think you are ready for a child? you could have an abortion of put it up for addoption if you think you are not ready. not that I'm recomending it or anything because once you have a kid it will be the most amazing thing ever and you wont regret it. is the father in the picture? he is also verry inportant. right now all you need is support because haceing a baby it tough.

That it is, and I understand that. As for being "ready" I don't really know if anyone is ready until the challenge is put in front of them. The father is here yes.

HI...I just wanted to tell you congratulations...Im 9 months pregnant and due in like 3 weeks...im 20 years old and was in a very sressful situation in the beginning cried because of it and was pretty much depressed because I was pregnant. and even had an appointment for an abortion...and now im glad I never went thorught with it because im so happy now knowing that im going to have a sweet little baby girl...once you see that baby on the ultrasound screen your just going to fall inlove trust me its sucha wonderful feeling knowing that your bringing life in to this world...its so nice...anywayz good luck with whatever you decide to do ))

Aww well I'm so happy for you! You must be so proud! That's amazing and I wish you the most of luck. And thank you. I'm already happy and excited. I think it's just amazing that even at a young age I'm getting the chance to do something this amazing. And I'm glad so many people are supportive and not...well, rude. Thanks guys! =]

I got pregnant at 14 and I know that young but things always happen the best advice I can give you for now is that you first have to decide for yourself if you want to keep the baby or not you have 3 options abort. adopt or keep GOOD LUCK...
