15 and Pregnant (It sounds like TV)

[XxSicaxX]

Hi, you can call me Sica. I found out a few days ago that I'm pregnant, 1 month pregnant. I am 15 years old, and my boyfriend and I have been sexually active a few times. We always use a condom, but obviously mistakes were made. My main problem is an unsupportive father and grandfather who threaten to kick me out if I ever get pregnant, or to take the baby. My boyfriend knows I'm pregnant now, but I need help, both his parents and my parents need to be told. Please help

you have to tell both families... and you'll see, whatever they said BEFORE the baby was there, it will change once you tell them. they'll surely be shocked and angry and it will be rough, but they'll come around. also, they can't take your baby legally. if you want, maybe talk to a councilor at school or at planned parenthood or with your doctor on how to approach the subject? and the earlier you do it the better (easier said than done). also, other family members may show more support initially than your dad and your grandad.
fingers crossed it all goes well!

Welcome to BnB & congratulations on your pregnancy!
I'm Shannon, 22, I have a 3 year old named Victoria "Tori" & am 37+3 with #2.

I know everything feels scary right now but it's going to be important that all of your family knows, you'll need all the support you can get. Hang in there sweetie.

Congratulations and welcome to BnB! I'm Clair, 19 and I have a 22 month old son and an almost 4 month old daughter

It's so important to let your families know, if you can't being yourself to in person, why not write them a letter? The sooner, the better as they have more time for it to sink in. Good luck!

Hi there!
Im Lisa, 21 and I have an almost 4 year old daughter, and an almost 1 year old son.
Firstly Id like to say Congratulations!
Secondly, regardless of what any one has said in the past, they need to be made aware of the situation because you need to make a doctors appointment, sort healthcare if youre in the us, and every thing else. I want you to know that this board has seen younger girls then what you are... I think 13 was the youngest Ive seen, but they have made absolutely amazing mothers, as will you. Id also like to point out that your grandfathers threat of "taking your baby away" is invalid, as its VERY unlikely he could actually succeed in doing so just because of your age. He'll get over it! Here if you need to chat

I got pregnant with my first at 14. I am now pregnant with my second boy at 17 Both were planned. Even though my first was planned I was selfish and hid my pregnancy for 7 months because of how "scared" I was to tell my mom. In reality I could have harmed myself or my son by not getting the medical help and prenatal visits I needed. It's really important to tell your immediate family asap so you can start planning and such. Remember it is your child though and don't let them make decisions for you! Message me if you need anything, good luck!

Oh, honey.

I'm an old lady (35 years old) lurking here...and I can tell you that while your family may be angry, you need SUPPORT. Pregnancy can be a very anxious time, and both sides of the family need to be told as soon as possible. Don't do it alone. Have your boyfriend with you.

You need to tell people so that you can get to a doctor, and begin receiving adequate prenatal care, and emotional support.
