Parents are having second thoughts...

posted 29th Sep '07
Ok when I told my parents I was pregnant they got pretty mad. Well then they sort of let up and they were happy. I told them 2 weeks ago when I was 5 weeks pregnant. Well now I am 7 weeks. So I have had to find a new doctor because the other one was a quack and tried telling me my baby was a girl and I was only 6 weeks pregnant.  

So my mom helped me find a new doctor and I found one I liked and he explains everything before doing it. So I am only 7 weeks but I have put on a little bit of weight and my mom took me in the car and started talking to me about the birth. She said I need to know what hospital I want it at and if I am going to get an epi. I mean come on I still have 7 months to go. So tonight at dinner my mom and dad gave me a lecture about how I shouldnt have gotten pregnant. They said they dont really want to walk around stores with me when I get bigger because my parents are against teen pregnancy.   I know my parents will change once my baby is born but I dont really want to be around my mom is making me pick everything now and if I am going to have a C-section or a natural. Its sorta getting annoying.

I may go stay with my boyfriend for a few days until they calm down a bit. I am only 15 so its pretty hard on me and I am still going to school. They also said I was a bad role model to my other sisters. I have 3 younger sisters and an older one. Not to mention they got a talk about how not to follow what I do cause I was a bad girl. So I dont know what to do. My parents have been supportive for at least 1 week and thats it. Not to mention now I feel terrible about getting pregnant so now I feel scared. So if anyone wants to talk more about it with me add me on msn or reply here. My email address is f.airyt.ale@hotmail.com

try to see their side of it

you are their daughter and they love you and they just want whats best for you. No parents wants their 17 year old getting pregnant, I can't imagine how that would feel. Maybe they aren't handling it in the best way, but they are just worried about you. My dad was the same way, but he has come around now. This whole thing is still pretty new to them so give it time, they will accept it.

well at least they havent kicked you out. and like the poster above me said, they wouldnt be too happy naturally at their young daughter getting pregnant at 15. But they will most likely get over it and come a round seeing as they have a bit. It sucks that they openly admitted to you that they dont want to be seen in public with you when you get bigger...its dumb because at 15 you cant drive or anything and they will probably have totake you places and to dr appointments and such. so they cant just avoid you.

yea I understand what you guys are saying thanks. It just sort of upsets me but I know its hard for them to know that I am pregnant. They said they will still take me to the doctors but they think I should put the baby up for adoption.   I cant do that. That would just be to hard on me. Hopefully they will change their minds about that decision.

Its your baby, even if you aren't an adult yet, they can't tell you what to do with your own baby. I'm sure this will pass, its only been two weeks since they found out. It took my dad 4 months to fully accept it haha.

yeah even if youre young they cant legally force you into putting your baby up for adoption. So youll be fine. give them time, they will get over it, especially when they get to see your baby bump grow and the first ultrasound and then eventually the baby itself, theyll just melt, everyone loves babies!

I can somewhat relate. Im 18 and my rents FREAKED out.

For the last 4 months, my grandma has been the only one keeping me sane, while my mom and others were digging and nagging and making me feel like shit. But now, all of a sudden, my mom is getting pretty excited, and my grandma(whom i live with) has taken the role of the "angry parent"

So i just dont understand why these roles keep switching......  

It is upsetting. But you are VERY early so you still have quite a long time and things will change.

these girls are right, but either way there's nothing they can do about it, and trying to hide you and your child isnt going to solve anything. maybe it's best for you to stay at your boyfriend's for a while if youll be treated like a person over there. maybe you need to have a talk with your parents about hte fact that theyre trying to hide their OWN daughter...things change, they may be "against" teen pregnancy...i dont think many people are per say "for" it but they get over it. this is their child and their grandchild. you dont treat family like theyre a disgrace. granted its normal for them to be dissapointed at first but there comes a time where you've just got to say "you know, this is the way it is."

Also:
the nurse told me i was probably going to have a girl, due to the heart beat.
has anyone else heard that? if the heart beat is 140 or higher it's a girl but, any lower, it's a boy.


Shaylen's Heart Beat Is 168.

hun , sorry to tell you to honest truth but nobody in their right mind should get over their 15 year old ; daughters pregnancy that fast it takes awhile, my parents didnt talk to me for 3 months of my pregnant & that was the beginning, they are still hurt til this day .


My parents may have bought things for the baby & what not but are still in shock that they will be grandparents within a few weeks, I understand that it hurts but nobody & i mean nobody will get over it that fast!


How would you react if you had a daughter & she put herself into the same situations as yourself??


You would be pissed off & hurt emotionally , because everything you could have ever done to prevent it never worked.

dont worry im 15 too and my parents got really excited a few weeks after they found out, just give them time to cool down, i mean its not every parents dream to their teen daughter to be pregnant i mean when you were born they planned your future and that baby wasnt apart of it... they'll get excited eventually esp when the baby is born, or when you go to stores they will start wanting to look in the baby isles.
