I Need Help!!!!!!!?
I'm 19 and pregnant, i still live with my parents but i'm sure that if i tell my dad he would surely kick me out of the house and then i won't have no place to stay. I had the guts to tell my mother and she hasn't turn her back on me but i know my dad will cause he is very strict. I have been with my boyfriend for five years and in this moment he does not have a job. He has been searching every where but still there isn't any good news. He told his parents about it and they aren't willing to help us out. omg i feel so stressed out because i'm four months already. I don't even get along with my boyfriend's dad or his sisters, so this is a tough situation for me...plz help me!!

You and your boyfriend need to work together to make an acceptable life for your new family. He should accept any safe work that he is capable of doing right now, and you should find work too (only doing things that are safe for you and the baby). How are you handling medical care and insurance? You should tell your father (perhaps your mother already has). In a couple weeks, you won't be able to hide your belly any longer. I hope you are taking prenatal vitamins. They are essential. The stress you are feeling is bad for you and for the baby. Nineteen is young to have a baby, but not too young to make smart choices and to make your situation work. If adoption is something you are thinking about (and the father is on board) go to local adoption agencies and get information. If you are planning on keeping the baby, talk to your obstetrician/gynecologist and see if he/she can recommend local programs for baby preparation classes or support centers. Remember, you are not the first 19-year-old to have a baby, and you will not be the last. Just do what you think is right, take care of yourself and the baby and try to stay positive. You can do it. Maybe your father will even surprise you with his support. Good luck!

You need to make things happen for yourself. Do you have a job? Money saved up? If not get a good job with good benefits so that you can get out of the house and support yourself. Once your boyfriend gets a job find an apartment together. And for goodness sakes tell your dad. You are a big girl. Show your dad you are responsible and have things handled. He may not turn you away. You may be surprised. Grandbabies do that to people.

Like the person above me i'm a young not single but young parent of twins. I didn't have an abortion becasue i'm totally agaisnt it. I love my baby girls and my dad through me out at 4 months and he was helping alot because he has a lot of money. But me and my boyfriend found jobs and a car my mom helped us a lot. We both were at work when i went into labor. I was 15 and i wouldn't have done it any other way. You just need to know that you or you and your boyfriend can pull through and have a wonderful baby.

Take it from a young and single mom of 2 if I had a chance to do it a again I would had an abor. I love my kids and i thought that me and the father of my 2 kid could make but when your under stree and have your family in your ear tellig you what to do and you think your in love you sometimes make the wrong choose. But you and your boy friend have to sir down and talk and do what is rigth for the both of you and not what you think it right now. You have to think about the long run and that whats important.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave. Maybe you should have given contraception a thought a few months ago and maybe you wouldn't be in this situation. All I can do now is pray for the best for you and your baby. Please, by all means, whatever you do---DO NOT GET AN ABORTION. Even if it means giving the baby up for adoption. There are plenty of childless couples who would love to have a healthy baby. They will even pay to have all your medical expences taken care of.

I agree that you should tell your dad. I have been there. He will probably understand and if he doesn't then it's time to see how strong you really are. I hope the father will be there to help you. My son's dad decided he wasn't ready(dead beat), but I had my precious little one. He has made me a better and stronger person. There's more love and strength in you than you know.

it sounds like honesty will relieve alot of stress something very unhealthy for your baby. dad might surprise you. however mom knows dad wont be happy you told her and SHE didnt tell him!!!!!! your about to be a mom own up to it. keep looking for that job. follow your heart. screw his sisters . i put a baby up to a lovily family 17 years ago .if you cant take the mommy thing now someone out there can and as wanted nothing more for long time. think about that--- you all can do it though one day /one diaper at a time-- daddy will be mad for a while---- new babies (thier blood)he will love it like hes loved you all these years

OMG!! I CANT BELIEVE HOW MANY PPL ARE TELLING YOU TO HAVE AN ABORTION! THIS BABY DIDNT ASK TO BE CONCIEVED AND SURELY ITS NOT ASKING TO DIE EITHER! THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS 18 AND THIS IS AN OPTION ....GO ON STATE AID...YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH THEY WILL HELP AND GO FIND SOME SUBSIDIZED HOUSING...I DID THAT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND WELL WHILE IT WASNT THE BEST OPTION TO BE ON STATE I AT LEAST HAD A PLACE TO LIVE AND AN INCOME TO GET BY ON...GO TO LOCAL DHS AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN OFFER YOU

Why don't you give this child up for adoption. It would be the best thing for the three of you!!There are so many couples out there that would die to get a baby. Give them the gift of love. The child you give them would be a gift of a life time!!!
