Hello...

Hi,

I'm Laura and I really didn't want to be here!!

I've always looked at girls who got pregnant early and thought how stupid they were and why they didn't prevent it, but now I'm in the same boat.

I'm 15 years old (16 on the 12th of September) and about two weeks ago I was about a week late and took a test, no guessing what it said!

My boyfriend had always said he loved me not matter what, but as soon as I told him that I MIGHT (this was before I even took the test) be pregnant he said that as far as he was concerned we were never together. I've approached him at school and he just ignores me like we never even met.

I've told my mum (dad lives in London and his only contact with me is a yearly birthday card) and she's been so supportive and got me an appointment with the doctor etc..

Despite my age there was never a question in my mind that as soon as I found out I was pregnant I'd keep it. It isn't the baby's fault I was stupid.

Fortunately I was planning on leaving school at the end of this May anyway so I'll probably not tell anybody and do that, then I can have the baby and work out what to do from there.

I hate being in this situation and always thought I'd get a good job and be married before having kids, but I guess in the real world that isn't how it always works out.

I don't know if there is anybody here who is in my situation or understands, but I thought I'd sign up as it will help if I have somewhere to "socialise" with people who are pregnant, as I obviously don't have that opportunity with my friends who are my age.

Hi Laura,

I'm so glad that your mom is being so supportive an awesome. Lots of young girls have to go through this time with angry, distant parents who are no help at all. Sorry that your boyfriend is being ridiculous about it. Have you thought about what you plan to do in the future about that? In terms of child support I mean?

Anyways, I'm not young like you and I'm very happy to be here but I totally understand how scary and difficult this situation must be for you. Luckily, there's a ton of amazing woman on this site who will give you a lot of support and help answer any questions you have!

Hope your doctor's appointment goes well!

Hello Laura,

I'm sorry that you've been put in such a difficult position. It thrills me to know that your mom is being so supportive. Regardless of age pregnancy is a scary thing, but as a teenager it is so much more so. Just remember that you still have your entire life ahead of you, it'll just be a little bit different than what you originally thought. That doesn't mean it will be any less fufilling.

Another pep talk to build you up, you aren't stupid. Everyone makes mistakes. I've made a ton of mistakes. There were little ones and there were big ones that cost friendships and family. Luckily, you now have a beautiful little one to look forward too!

As far as your boyfriend is concerned, I hope he comes around. Even if you two never have a relationship, it would be nice for him to step up and be a father. You weren't the only person involved, and he should be held accountable for that.

I'm sending good vibes from here, and I hope everything works out. You've aleady made a very big decision and it shows how brave and strong you are. I know you'll be able to connect with girls in similar situations and have that little bit of support.

:Hugs:
