Going to be a mother soon.
My name is Kimberly but you can just call me Kimsa. I am a 17 year old, high school drop out. >.<
And I am pregnant. I'm about 4 months pregnant. I think. I haven't been to the doctors yet even though I really should. I'm trying to make an appointment today but the hospital isn't answering... I am kinda nervous about have a child. I mean I am gonna have to worry about another human being! ANOTHER LIFE! And I'm not even done worrying about my own. Is it normal for mother-to-be's to be nervous like this? Mommies out there, answer my question!! And how did you guys feel after you gave birth and all that jazz. |
I think I may be pregnant and I'm really worried. I'm 17 too and I stopped having my period. I don't know if it's normal to worry or not but it is okay to worry. My brother's girlfriend is a young mother, she worried a lot but she was glad once she had her daughter.

I don't really know what the gender is but I'm thinking it's a girl. :)

Sammie: Did you take a pregnancy test yet? Just because your period is irregular doesn't mean you're pregnant.
kimsasok: Are you going to keep the baby? Maybe you should look into all your options like adoption. My friend had a baby last year and she found a great family for it. It helped a lot because she was able to keep going with school. |
Yea, it's actually really normal
for you to worry. I am a young mommy. My daughter is almost 10 months old now. Trust me. It is NOT as hard as everyone makes it out to be. As for you not going to the doctors. GO. It's important and hey just because you missed your period doesn't mean you are pregnant. A lot of things make you miss it, most are bad... You'd be better off pregnant. So please do go to the doctors. And if you think your not ready to be a mom, adoption is a great thing so many ladies out there that can't even have a child. Not saying that you're going to do that but its a option. Edit : You can PM me if you have any questions about this, I'm more then willing to share any advice I have. ^.^ |
@Jeshikah - I am going to keep the baby. I've already had one abortion before and I regret that very much. I've thought about adoption but I can't can't do it. I know it will be way to hard for me. My family and my boyfriend's family probably wouldn't approve of it.
@Bullets - I know that. I took a test. I would never give it up for adoption. |
Well if you took a test the sooner
you get in to a doctors the better. And I never said you would hun. Just laying it out there since I dunno your situation. And that's great that you are going to be keeping the baby. Most girls I knew that got pregnant young either had abortions or did adoption. Stepping up to it is very honorable. I wish you and your baby the best of luck. ^.^; |
You have a few months yet to truly evaluate your life and your abilities.
Everyone is different during their ages. One seventeen-year-old might be able to handle raising a baby while another person that age wouldn't last a week. I am saying this with the utmost sincerity and seriousness to you from someone who knows. If you don't think you can handle raising a child, give that bundle of hope to someone who is actively seeking him or her. My sister had a baby at twenty-one and couldn't handle it in the beginning. I was sixteen--no, I had just turned seventeen four days before his birth, and I pushed high school to the side to help raise him. I don't regret it for a moment, but from everything that happened to us under that roof... some people are just not meant to be parents at young ages. Please think it through. If you feel that you can do it, by all means, do so. Whatever decision you come to, please make it responsible. Babies are meant to be blessings. I can attest that bottle feedings, diaper changes and emotional support is so rewarding. I can't wait to have my own baby, this time for keeps. |
I encourage you to seek out proper prenatal treatment. There is a lot that could go wrong especially with your medical history of previously having an abortion, and if you care about this potential child's life then please see an obstetrician / gynecologist. If there is a problem then early detection can mean the difference between a healthy baby and a miscarriage. You need to be on prenatal vitamins and have regular checkups.
