How Did U Get Pregnant??

You can get the medical abortion (RU486) up to around the 7th week of pregnancy. This causes a miscarriage.
Surgical abortions are routinely given until 12 weeks, but many places will do them up to 24 weeks and beyond depending on the situation.

TO THE GIRL THAT RESPONDED SAYING SHE HAD AN ABORTION AT 20, YOU ARE A HORRIBLE WOMAN, CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD KILL YOUR BABY.....I KNOW DEED DOWN YOU REGRET DOING IT, SO WHY ARE YOU ON HERE TELLING ANOTHER GIRL TO DO THE SAME FOR $375.

YOUR NUTS LADY!

you know, God gives you what you can handle, i have no right to tell you not to get an abortion but its not fair to this baby who will eventually be a person that you know you created you cant kill it once you hear its heart beat and see it for the first time on the moniter its the most amazing thing ever, most parents wont kick their daughter out for this mistake, mine didnt, they would have been 80,000 times more mad if i told them i got an abortion than if im pregnant, give this baby a chance at life, try adoption but once you go through your pregnancy and have it your not going to want to give it up but whatever those are my opinions, good luck, i hope your decision makes you happy

I am disappointed in teens getting pregnant-why are you all having sex at this young age? And where is adult supervision? I am 40 years old-married for 4 years and have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years. I have done 7 IUI's and 8 IVF's-the last one just done last week so am waiting for results on Friday. I finally got pregnant for the first time in March on IVF-had a miscarriage on May 8, 2006 at 11 weeks(baby measured 9 weeks)-D & C performed on May 9. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to face. And I hear about all these young kids just going out and getting pregnant left and right. Irritates me to no end!! And abortions are not right -you chose to flirt with pregnancy!! Either have the baby or give it up for adoption so someone who has been trying to have a family can have one.

Hi. I am 22 years old and have a wonderful, beautiful, and intelligent litlle boy that is three years old. He is the joy of my life! There are days that he is the only thing that keeps me going. His little smile and the way he tells me "you are the bestest mommy i ever seened" make my life worthwhile. I was only 18 when I got pregnant. I know that is a big difference from 14, but I had no money, no job and yes no college when I got pregnant. No I didn't have health insurance, but that is the benifit of medicaid. You can go to the medicaid office and they will give you insurance that will cover all of your doctor visits and everything. The only thing it didn't cover for me was the circumcision of my son. That was only 400$ verses the 375$ it takes to have an abortion.

I know that you are scared right now. I felt the same way when I found out I was pregnant with my son, but you will soon realize it is okay. You are not the first girl to become pregnant at such a young age and I'm sure that you will not be the last. Yes, it will be hard. You can do it though. Talk with your parents. They may be upset, but they will respect you for having the courage to come and talk to them. If you were my daughter I would want to know. They love you and I know that they want to be there for you. They can't be there if you don't ask them to or let them know what is going on.

I know that abortion seems like the easy way out, but you have to consider everything that comes along with abortion. You may need serious counseling after and we all know how expensive that can be. And if you are concerened about letting your parents down take into consideration how let down they would be to find out that you can not take responsibility for your own actions. Think about what if your mother had aborted her pregnancy with you.

You have been playing a dangerous game and you are lucky that you only got pregnant. You could have ended up with a terminal disease that would eventually kill you. I know you are young and you are thinking you are just having fun, but life is not that way. You stepped into the grown up world by your own choice and now you have to grow up and take responsibility for your actions. You are no longer a baby, you are a woman and need to start acting that way. Stay in school or get your ged and take care of your child or put it up for adoption. Just take responsibility don't run from the problem and do something you are going to regret later. What if you are unable to have children later on in life? Would you really want to kill this one. That is what it is murder. Look in your library for a book about abortion, one with pictures. how can anyone do that to their own child??

I know I can't tell you what to do but you need to talk to your parents and let them know what is going on. Maybe talk to your mom first, then she can help you talk to your dad. or whichever way you think would be easier. where is the father???? what does he have to say about all of this? Good luck honey! You are in for a long hard road but it can be done, take it from me. Just work hard and keep your head up. Lots of love and God bless. :-)

But your basically doig the same thing. I got pregnant at 14 and had my baby at 15. Key word she COULD destroy her body. I didnt. Who cares if you have a few stretch marks at least you now have a life time of joy. It obviously isnt easy having a baby. but if i could do it. She can too. Im not going to tell you to keep it and im not going to tell you to abort. Just do whats in your heart because that's what i did. i did what was in my heart and everything turned out fine. I was going to get an abortion but the day of. I walked right out and said im better then that.

You have taken the first step in getting yourself help by asking others opinions, however, you must tell your parents. As a person who got pregnant at 16, I can feel your fear. You may be surprised with your parents' reactions. They may prove you right for being so scared, but unless you tell them you will never know.
Bringing a child into the world is hard at any age. It's hard, regardless if you have all the money in the world, have a loving boyfriend/spouse, or have 2 kids already. Taking responsibility for your actions, whatever path you take, is what's best for you. I wish you the best.

Just for your info: I did have my son 12 years ago with the love and support of my family, who at first I thought would kill me. I have since had 2 other children and am married with a wonderful career. You never know what the future holds..

As I am reading these posts I think the matter at hand here is to focus on our guest who is 14 years old. She is asking us for help. I think that people can help themselves more when given the right tools. So, let's first support her, not make her run away, and give her some solid options.
She hasn't answered back in a while so first, can you say whether or not you have told your parents? Or have you made the decsion to not say anything? If this is the case is there someone you trust who can support you emotionally through this time?
As others have mentioned there are options available. There is adoption, keeping the child, abortion. What area are you in, research can be down on some options for you if you like.
You are not the first and defintely not the last to have this happen. Here's hoping all turns out well for you whichever way you wish to go.

I was 16 when i had my little girl and I dont regret it in any way, Im now 19 pregnant again, and going to college.. So yes! it is very hard but you just have to be strong and you can do it...

when i was in the 9th grade, i found out i was pregnant.i told my mom she was upset. but she also made me relize i was to young, and my life would not be the same any more. so we made a appt at the clinic to get a abortion, i really did not want to, but it was the best thing for me and my baby. i do feel sad about what i did. but it was the best thing. you are young, and live life. what ever decision you make good luck!!!.

I am not sure where you get your information, but the majority of the US requires some type of parental involvement with minors and abortions.

Do not be afraid...talk to your parents or parent which ever one u r closest to. I got pregnant at 15 when my boyfriend intentionally put a hole in the condom. Life was hard at home and became even harder when I became pregnant but here I am 19 yrs later and had I aborted that child I would have never known how wonderful and brilliant she would become! She graduated high school one and a half years early and is now in her 2nd year of college. It will be difficult u must prepare urself for that but you have no idea the rewards that come of it. Besides u never know if this child may be the next Einstein or the next Jordan or whatever the next best thing is. Good luck to and I am here if u need someone to talk to...keep ur chin up and remember to take time for yourself too!

well i do think that you are to young, BUT you made the decision in having sex, so i would take responsibility for you actions. young ladies at your age are not fully developed yet and yes it can take a huge tole on your body when carrying a baby inside of you.

to all the negative ladies out here, this girl came here to ask for advise. i know this is her own fault but we just need to help her and show her some support.

like the other girl said S**t happens. but i would take ammediate action if you decide to keep the baby so that you can get the proper care for you and your child. and tell your parents they will love you no matter what, YOUR their DAUGHTER

Good luck to you and i hope you make the right decision for you and your baby. remember now matter what you decide, God will always love you!

My question is.. why are you having sex in the first place?? at 14 you are too young to deal with the consequences. i'm not telling you what to do with your life but you do need to tell someone. this is your decision and you need to go to your parents. if you were old enough to have sex and get pregnant, you need to be old enough to deal with the end result.

OBVIOUSLY YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE!!! IT'S CALLED BIRTH CONTROL AND YOU CAN GET IT FREE AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD TYPE CLINICS! I WOULD THINK SOMEONE IN YOUR PAST SITUATION WOULD THINK AGAIN BEFORE HOPPING BACK INTO BED WITH A GUY! 14 AND 15 AREN'T THAT FAR OFF FROM ONE ANOTHER AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M GLAD YOUR STEPPING UP AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS BUT YOU NEED TO GROW UP BEFORE YOU BECOME A MOTHER. START BY MAKING GOOD CHOICES FROM NOW ON!!
