Please share this with a family member as soon as possible.  This is important that you have the support of family during your pregnancy. I DO NOT suggest moving in with your boyfriend until you are certain you can afford rent, utilities, food, gas, clothes, pampers, doctors visits etc. etc. etc.  Take it one step at a time.  Talk to someone first.  Then go from there.

Is your fiance financially stable?  You will need to consider alot of things:  completeing high school, fianacial stability not only for yourself but for your child.  I would be a positive move for you to choose the parent whom you have the closest relationship with and tell them first and let them tell it to the other parent.  I would tell someone soon for the safety of you and your child.  You will need to get medical attention very soon.  Take Care.

 Be honest and be true to yourself.

What a mess, you are so young to have a child, you should have that bay, and give it up for adoption.  There are other couples who are going to give your baby a nice future.  Discuss this with your parents for them to help you through this pregnancy and delivery.

     Then you should go back to school and finish college and so you will have a nice future.  You need to grow up some more.

Don't give up your baby how insensitive. You are so young and making all of these grown up decisions. 17 is too young to be married it is too young to have a child also but whats done is done. do not compound your issues by making three heavy decisions. Please tell your parents

1 baby 2 moving in, 3 marriage.

Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion. You have yours and I have mine. Doesn't mean I'm right & your wrong. It just makes us diffrent.

i see you are getting all kind of diffrent responses. The first thing you need to do is go get a blood test and find out if you are pregnant. You can go to planned parenthood or many other pregnancy test centers and they will do an exam and everything for free. Then you will be able to make a better decision. Second, How old is your fiance? How long have you been together? Is he financially stable or have his own place? Don't jump into anything just because you might be pregnant, and this day in age you don't have to get married just because your having a baby. Make sure if you do get married it's because you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. If i were you i would wait on getting married atleast until you've considered all the facts and conscequences of each. Third, are you still in school? It is possible to have a baby and still finish high school and go to college but you will need the support from your parents and everyone around you. My advice for you telling your parents is.....they won't kill you i promise! maybe a little disappointed at your decisions but most likely they will help you make a better decision and help you in any way they can. They might just surprise you. Give them a chance. You can talk to them one at a time or together whichever your most comfortable with. And i would sit them down alone without your fiance that way they can be openly honest with you without possibly embarassing you.

 

Most importantly, If you are not pregnant you need to go to the dr. or planned parenthood and consider birth control and also start using protection. You are very young to be going through this. Let this be a lesson to you & always use a condom they are not to just prevent pregnancy they also prevent you from getting an STD and i assure that is not something you ever want to have to deal with at any age. And guys don't always know if they are carrying an STD and if they do they might not always tell you. If you aren't going to use a condom ask him to go get tested and you go get tested as well. Its a simple test and it doesn't mean you don't trust each other. You have to take care of your health first and foremost. I am 22 years old and i've been with the same guy for 4 years and just recently found out i have HPV (Human papoloma virus) not spelled right sorry...it's trasmitted sexually and guys are the carrier but it doesn't affect them so they don't always know they are spreading it. there are many diffrent strains of HPV that put you at high risk for cervical cancer. So always use protection i have given you many reasons to do so. Don't be so careless. If you don't take care of yourself no one will! Best of luck to you.

oh wow that was a shock im not sure i expected that type of response from DB. I don't know anyone here personally but I watch for the "regulars" answers. This question is a year old now and i'm sure decisions have long been made. ok but 17 yes its young but no need in giving up a child and living life with the grief. Children will change this young girl into a woman a little early than had not the child come along, but you live with the choices you make. I agree with finishing school I know many girls who had babies in high school that continued on and graduated. Its not as easy but very well possible. I'm sure this girls life has changed dramatically but no matter this child is a blessing.
