I think i might be pregnant i'm having some symptoms but i havent missed my period yet. i should know if i miss it at the beginning of may.
I realy dont want to till then to take a test though. I am so nervous i might be and i just want to know now. How long should i wait to take a test? And should i tell my mom now or wait to take a test first? I know she will be realy understanding though because she got pregnant when she was just 16. But i'm still a little scared to talk to her about it.
I also want to talk to my boyfriend about it too but i dont know how to bring it up. I'm scared he might leave me. He said he wouldnt if i ever was, but he also said he wouldn't want to keep the baby...but i would never give it up for adoption.
I need some advice! I don't know how to tell my mom and bf. I'm not ready to be preggo if i am. i'm only 18!
ADVICE PLEASE! THANX =]

Oh hunny... I'm 19 and I am in the SAME situation as you are... First off... Give your boyfriend some credit. I told my guy and he wants to get married and keep it now which is opposite of what he was saying before. As far as telling your mom goes... bla... Let me know if you think of anything because I am still stumped about how I am going to do this. I'm really new on this too, like I havent taken a test yet, so wait until you do that before you tell your mother. (No need to get her excited if it's nothing right??) But go ahead and tell your boyfriend so he knows whats coming and has a chance to get ready just incase you are. Best of luck to you!
I would definitely wait until your missed period. You don't want to take the test too soon because it might be too soon. At the soonest, I'd take an early test 5 days before your missed period. Until then just relax....try not to worry. Even if you are preggo it's not the end of the world. If you take the test and you are, just find a quiet time with your mom to be honest with her. I'm sure she won't be happy but like u said, she should be understanding...and eventually very helpful. As for your bf you're gonna have to tell him eventually...if he does leave you then he's not worth it anyway. If he is such a douche that he would get you pregnant then runaway from the responsibility then you're better off without him...just make sure he takes care of his responsibility. Just relax...dont worry prematurely....and good luck.
perhaps you could ask a close relative to be there when you told your mum.She will be worried for you mostly,bringing a child up is the hardest thing to,for some people its a most gratifyning experience,for others its a time you feel dread,its not just the decision to keep the baby,its what lies a head afterwards.To give your baby up for adoption will shread you of every emotion,but can you think about the bigger picture,are you really in a position to give your child all the emotional stability that child deserves,its not about material things,because if you can't at least give your child that,then the most selfless thing you should think about is letting him/her have the very things they must have to have at least a chance of a decent life.when you have decided what you are going to do,all you can do is hope to God you have made the right decision and have faith you have.My very best wishes for you.
I suggest you find out if you're actually pregnant or not before you tell your mom. See your doctor or go to Planned Parenthood if you have one around you. They provide free services. If you are pregnant, have your mom sit down with you and discuss it with her. I'm sure she'll understand since she's been through it before. Good luck!
Oh btw, for the future, I suggest you get on birth control and use condoms. You don't want anymore pregnancy scares and you definetely don't want to catch any STDs! You might think it's never gonna happen to you but that's what I thought til I got HPV last year. You have to be careful.
well i would definantly wait to see if you miss your period! then take a test!
then tell her! and since your 18 it shouldnt be that big of deal since your legal! well anyways i wish you all the best and hopefully everything will work out okay! but if you are pregnant, dont stress to much! i have quite a few friends who have had babies when they were about 18, and its all been working out pretty good for them! and trust me, at the time they most definantly werent ready to be parents!
