What am I supposed to do now?

posted 14th Feb
I'm 14 and found out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I really don't have a clue what to do next. I just want like advice? I really have no one to turn to. I've only moved in with my aunt a week ago. I don't want to be homeless but I do want him or her. Advice?

Honestly... at 14 I'd have an abortion or give the child up for adoption. That's what I think. That would be my decision of "what is next to do."

You have your whole life ahead of you!

I don't know but I already feel like a mom but clueless on what that means for me now.

Its going to be very hard but always know you have options.
Abortion, adoption or keeping the baby. All options are going to very difficult and will change your life forever so think about it.

I don't want this to sound insensitive or rude but at fourteen I honestly believe that to be impossible. You are at a point in your life where everything is confusing and blurred; you're figuring out who you are as an individual, and that is hard enough without the added stress of a baby. At fourteen, it would be literally impossible to support a child and yourself. Most places do not hire people under 16, and if by some stroke of luck you did find a job, it would not be more than minimum wage which will not be enough to give your baby the life he/she deserves. You have your entire life ahead of you.

Go to a Planned Parenthood, they can explain all your options to you and then recommend the next course of action.

talk to your aunt. will she help you? think about all your options. However.. wtihout a strong family backing you... how would you possibly take care of the baby. Is 14 even old enough to hold down a job? babies are expensive, time consuming, always needing you, food, clothes, stuff...

You are 14. You're a fraction of a person and the person you had sex with should be in jail. You should not be a mother to anyone right now. You can even legally work. You need to tell your parents immediately and look into your options.

Blunt, but she's right, OP.

You're 14. You're still a kid, you don't need to be having a baby.

Please think really hard a decide what you think is best for you and the child, Abortion is heartbreaking but sometimes necessary, Adoption is no easier but at least you can decide on what family and weather you want an open or closed adoption, if you choose to keep the bub i really wish you nothing but the nest and hope you have enough support if not you always have us on BG. Good Luck OP hope i have helped a lil.

What next? The first thing you need to do is decide between abortion, adoption and keeping the baby. Second, you need to tell an adult family member so that they can help you. Honestly, I had my son at seventeen and that was hard enough. I couldn't imagine having a baby at fourteen. A baby needs a lot of attention. They cost a ton of money, bottles, diapers, blankets, formula if you bottle feed, car seat and since you can't drive, you would need someone to take you everywhere, then theres a stroller, and food when they get a little older. If you are staying in school you would need money for daycare (assuming you don't have someone to watch the baby). You should really think long and hard about how a baby will impact your life before you make a solid decision.

Don't tie yourself down with a kid at 14. Go and be a teenager, graduate high school, go to college...all without someone tugging on your pant leg. Children are demanding, noisy, and messy. They also have the ability to be extremely irritating right at the moments you really wish they wouldn't. Your fertility lasts longer than your development as a teenager and person.

Ultimately, the choice is yours but if I found myself pregnant at 14, I'd be terminating the pregnancy and I would almost expect my daughters to do the same.

one of my sisters friends had a child at 14. she is now 18 and a great mother to her son. it is very hard but very possible if you have the means and resources to do so.Don't let anyone else make a choice for you or tell you that you have to do something. you do what you think is right for you and your child. It can be done. I would tell your aunt your pregnant and go from there.

What if she kicks me out? Like I don't want to be homeless and pregnant. It's not a good environment for me or my baby I am scared she'll be like she gives up.
