I Am 6 Months Pregnant And Just Found Out? Need help

i know it's hard, but the first thing you need to do is relax. don't stress yourself out, it's bad for the baby.
second, MANY of are underestimating the amount of females go without knowing they are pregnant. i'm a nurse, and i worked in the ER for awhile, and you would be surprised how many women would come in asking about symptoms, and it would determined they were pregnant. or even come in going into labor. mainly, women who were having going into labor premature.
just because you are 6 months doesn't mean you are going to look or feel extremely pregnant. some women don't start REALLY showing until 6-7 months.

but anyways. you're 18. it's scary, i know! i had many friends your age get pregnant. with the right tools, and support from your family, you will get through this. telling your father is very important.

as your doctor probably already told you, you need to start prenatal care ASAP. if they determined that the fetal heart rate was good and the baby was moving around and everything was ok, calm down. the baby is probably fine. start your prenatal vitamins, eat healthy, and change any unhealthy lifestyles that you were doing before.

just because you are carrying big doesn't mean every woman does.

every pregnancy is different, and every woman carries and shows differently.

It is not about young people having kids. Most young people that have kids are not responsible and put their children on other people. If you think you are old enough to have children then step up and be responsible and handle yours.

i was pregnant last year and i lost it. that killed me in so many ways. it took a long time to get over, and now i am looking for someone who is wanting to adopt their baby to someone who will love and take care of them as if if was their own child. so if you or anyone you know is in this situation and would consider me.

Wow! I thought I was the only one! I actually had my periods for the first three months of my pregnancy, my periods were light but they were there so I didn't suspect a thing! Plus I broke up with the baby's father by the end of the first month of pregnancy so when I skipped my period by the fourth month, I assumed it was exam stress...! Anyway, went to the doctor a few days before going back to varsity because I'd noticed some swelling in my feet so I went for a check up. He took blood samples as well as a urine sample. The second day of varsity, round about 8:00 am, before my first lecture for the day, I got a call from my doctor and he broke it down! First thought was that my parents are totaly goin to kill me so I saw abortion as my only option. Next day went to the clinic and they told me I was 24 weeks pregnant and that it was now too late for abortion! Funny thing is my tummy is not even that big, I actually look about 3 months pregnant and I never had the normal symptoms like morning sickness or cravings... Anyway, the baby's father knows now, so do my parents. My mom is o.k. about it, a little dissapointed, but excited at the same time and naturaly my dad isn't talking to me. Just let everyone know, the sooner you get that out the way, the sooner you can focus on your baby and your future. I'm quite excited now, almost 7 months now! All the best girl and just know that no matter what any one says, you've been blessed! It's not all women that can conceive. God bless!

In 2004 I found out I was 6 months pregnant. I had no signs and symptoms, no nausea or vomiting. In January I broke up with my now ex, and April I found out I was prego. I told him but he already had another girl and said he doesnt want my baby anymore because we are broken up. So I told my parents the next day cuz I was scared and all, and my dad was actually excited to have a grandchild and told me if I decide to get an abortion he will throw me out of the house. But my mom was opposite. She was mad, cuz I was only 17. But as long as my dad was by my side then I knew it was ok, cuz my mom and I didnt get along ever so i cared less what she thaught. I tried having my ex to be in my daughters life and he was for a week and then turned away because everyone put pressure on him to be a dad, thats his excuse. I took him to court for child support. He signed the birth certificate with no problem, when he saw her he knew she was his, no doubt, but his stupid girlfriend kept telling him otherwise and he believed her. But oh well, because I kept my pregnancy, at 8 months pregnant, I finished my GED, and later got on my own feet and moved out with my baby and started my own life in another state. Now my daughter is almost 5 and having her is a blessing because she is the joy of my life and if it wasnt for her, my life would be down the drain with parties and drugs and all that c**p.

My daughter saved my life and is teaching me about life. Everything happens for a reason and I am blessed to have her as part of my life. Im 23 now and the happiest mother ever! :-D :-D

I'm 26 with a 4 year old daughter. Life was very hard after I had her but last year I finally sorted everything out, got a really good graduate training job, a nice place for us to live and finally thought everything was going to be ok

Until now. I haven't had a partner since I split from her dad 2 1/2 years ago but last november i had a stupid one night stand. I have the implant so thought i'd be fine. Had two light periods after and none since but i've been on the implant for four years and that's usual for me. Wth my irst pregnancy i had the most debilitating morning sickness all the way through but nothing like that has happened recently. The thing is the past two weeks i swear i can feel movement, and I've put on quite a bit of weight (which I put down to the stress of a new job turning my eating habits to the worse).

I'm taking a test tonight and if its positive i dont know what to do. Everything that I've worked so hard for will be in ruins. I've seen the bloke a fefw times since but i could never bring myself to tell him i its true.

I dont know what to do or how to feel. My daughter was a complete accident, and although i love her more than anything i can't go through it again. Its taken me all this time to give her a good life

Hi i am 23 and i am going through exactly the same thing as you i had all my periods, no signs no sickness no bump until just before i found out! in these situations it's different for everyone so i can only tell you how i handled the situation. The first thing i did was obviously goget it confired which you have and organized a meeting with a midwife asap if you explain the situation with the midwife they should fit you in asap they can then go trough all the information with you toth best possible plan for you and if you are that worried about telling your parents they will sometime have a meeting with you and your parents to help you through the situation and explain all the help you would receive for pregnancy but this does mean you would have to tell them first. Try not to worry to much some times you imagine them reacting a lot worse than they actually do, when i told my parents i cryed all the way through coz i really thought they would kill me at my age as well but honestly it will be a shock for any parent but as long as you have as much information as you can and show them that your being responsible they will be able to deal with the situation alot better.

children are gifts from God and God will never give us more than we can handle. Be thankful that you can have a child love him and care for him and in the future your child will be the biggest blessing you can ever have

First of all, please remember that this isn't something that is just "your fault" or just "your doing." It takes both sperm and egg to conceive a child. Don't blame yourself and understand that this sort of a situation can happen to the most responsible of us.

The first thing that you should do is consult with your doctor or with the local Planned Parenthood about your options--this is NOT a dead end. If you haven't yet, you should consider ALL of the options that you have at this point, including the option of telling the father or talking to your parents. But no one on this message board can completely understand your situation, which is why it is so important to consult with a professional about this. Both your medical doctor and the people at Planned Parenthood will be able to help you with this situation better than anyone on the internet. To contact planned parenthood, go to their website and search for the nearest center near you. There should be a telephone number that you can call--trust me when I say that they have heard worse cases than yours, and that they know how to help.

After that, remember that, in the end, it is your choice--but that your choice will impact a lot of other people's lives. I understand that this is hard--you have to grow up in the most radical way, before anyone your age is ready for it. Just remember that you are a strong person who was willing to look for help, and that you can deal with this situation as an adult. I have faith in you. Try and make the best decision about telling your or his parents, about telling the father, and about other, future, decisions, that you can. It may mean putting your feelings aside, or disregarding the opinions and feelings of people that you care about. Either way, try and think about what would be best for everyone in this situation.

Finally, remain strong. I'm sure life right now seems really, ridiculously hard. I'm sure it's sometimes hard to face the reality of the situation. But, whatever you do, if you think about it and try and make the right decision--it will be okay in the end. This situation will work itself out, as long as you try and do what's best. At 16, everything is difficult. But I promise--and this is from someone who knows--things will get better.

Again: contact planned parenthood. They should be able to help. And don't make this about YOU. There are now other lives at stake that you are responsible for. Good Luck and God Bless.

These comments make you seem very insensitive and quite frankly, unintelligent and dense. Simply because you were very obviously pregnant at 6 months does not mean that every other individual would experience a similar pregnancy. There are many women that do not begin to show until well after 27 weeks. Many women do not experience morning sickness, significant weight gain, swelling etc. Pregnancy is most certainly individualistic.



There are a variety of reasons why someone may not know they were pregnant aside from not experiencing the symptoms. Athletic people with strong cores, people that are overweight, someone who has irregular periods as a result of fluctuating weight (possibly because of an eating disorder) to name a few.



Simply put, assuming that because you experienced a very obvious pregnancy all other women do, and then commenting in a way that would make someone who experienced things differently than you feel shame is tasteless. Know your facts and then comment knowledgeably.

hi sweetie i just wanted to tell you congragulations.. i was 15 when i was pregnant with my first.. i am now 19 and 6 months pregnant with my 3rd.. i know you can do this the love you have for a child is especially your own is so powerful it can get you through anything.. talk to your mom and dad and tell them whats going on.. i so so hope that they are there for you.. and if not sweetie like i said wemon are made to be strong and carry the weight of the world on there sholders.. i know you can do it... as long as your a good momma and do everything in your power to make sure your baby is safe and tooken care of everything will be ok.. it will be hard and it will make you have to grow up quicker but a good momma will go to the end of the earth and back for there babies.. and if you really cant take care of your baby there is no shame in giveing the baby up for adoption to a good family that wants one.. good luck and congrats...
