re: Early pregnancy sign or miscarriage? Please offer advice!

Quoting PleatherHeart:“ I honestly didn't even think about a bus... I guess I'm just too freaked out about the whole thing. ... [snip!] ... not going to tell her that I suspect myself to be pregnant. If it stops I'll just buy a pregnancy test in at least a week.”

Maybe you should just tell your mom today? Especially if you are passing clots. Even if it isn't a miscarriage it could be something else that is just as serious, if not worse.

Thank you for your advice ladies!

I've decided a few things:
1. I am definitely not going to be sexually active again until my own wedding,
2. I will go to the doctor tomorrow if the bleeding does not stop completely,
3. If the bleeding continues without any pain and turns into an actual period then I will just have proof that my imagination can cause heart attacks,
4. If this gets worse before tomorrow and I have actual pain along with the spotting then I will seek out an emergency room.

She would write it off as nothing if I told her I just had irregular bleeding. But if I have pain along with the regular bleeding one of two things would happen... She would over react and take me to an emergency room that second or catch on to what was happening and kick me out.
I can't imagine her doing number 2, but I don't want to be open about this until I'm more clear on the situation.
I'm waiting for the clotting/spotting to turn into an actual period or to have pains along with it. That way my son and I are not at risk to being homesless and I'll know where to go and how much information I should offer to my parents.

Okay. I really hope you are okay & that it is nothing serious. Just one of those crazy PP periods.

So do I! Thank you so much for trying to help me.
I'm such a mess.

It's a stressful thought. And it's kind of hard to think straight when its on your mind. When you're scared to get pregnant you overthink every symptom. Lol.

I understand ur scared to tell ur mom. But do u really think she would kick out her grandchild and daughter knowing they dont have a place to go. She probably said it to freak you out. Yeah she might be mad for awhile, but she will get over it.

tough stuff. take a bus and see your doctor. if you are miscarrying then it's really dangerous. if you're not allowed to keep a tampon up there for too long, who know what will happen with a tiny dead fetus (gross but true. you need to realize it is VERY dangerous)

Your parents lied to you. You know you can look this stuff up online, right?


Missouri Graduated Driver License Law

• STEP ONE: Instruction Permit
• STEP TWO: Intermediate License
• STEP THREE: Under 21 Full Driver License
• Definitions
• Graduated Driver License Law Frequently Asked Questions

Missouri's Graduated Driver License law requires that all first-time drivers between 15 and 18 years old complete a period of driving with a licensed driver (instruction permit), and restricted driving (intermediate license), before getting a full driver license.

• If the permit holder is under age 16, the accompanying licensed driver must be a qualified person, grandparent, qualified driving instructor, or in case of disability, their designee.
• At age 16, the driver may apply for an intermediate license. The intermediate license allows the driver to drive alone except during a late night curfew (1:00 am to 5:00 am). The driver and passengers must use seat belts, be free of alcohol and drugs, and obey the traffic laws.
• At age 18, or within the 30 days immediately preceding his/her 18th birthday, the intermediate license holder may apply for a full driver license.

Can yo go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood?

Do you have a friend who can bring you?

Quoting M.J.'s Mom:“ Can yo go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood? Do you have a friend who can bring you?”

I don't have any friends who can take me at this point, and a bus is not an option because I would not be able to go until Friday, when I get my next check.
The bleeding has stopped but I've decided to tough it out and have my Mom take me to the doctor.
... I guess we'll see what happens.
I hid the guy from my parents [because 1. they're too overprotective, 2. they think they can make every decision for me and if he wasn't absolutely perfect they would have tried to make me stop seeing him] so they'll basically think that I was not seeing anyone and was just sleeping around - not the case.
I also don't want to do it because I am pretty positive that I had a miscarriage and I do not want to hurt them. My sister had a miscarriage when she was 17 and they've never stopped thinking about the could-have-been's or should-have-been's. It's such a sad thing.

I finally realized lastnight that there was no hope in pregnancy - I am certain that I have had a miscarriage.

To me, being young with two children is better than a miscarriage, but I'm going to quote a friend here and say that God would never give me more than I could handle. It's just Him calling his angel back to Heaven because he needs him/her.
