What is some advice you would give to pregnant teenagers?

I would say be strong dont let people talk you into anything that you deep down in your heart dont want to do. Get some support as it wll be hard weither they keep the baby or not. And be honest with your parents yeah they will be disappointed but you will need them and if they dont understand remind them that they 2 were teenagers once and that You may not have made to right choice but it is somthing that you would like to have there support and a little understanding. Good luckWhat is some advice you would give to pregnant teenagers?
Your whole entire life is about to change.


Your world no longer revolves around you, only your baby now.


No more partying.


No more going off with friends and boyfriends all the time.





Having a baby is not the worst thing in the world ... I promise. Once you look your baby in the face. You fall in love at that very moment. You love that baby with every breath in your body. Yes, when you are pregnant and thinking OMG my life is over ... it all changes when the baby arrives. Because you would not change having your baby for the world. Because really that baby is the best thing that has ever happened to you. Honestly, when most ppl find out they are pregnant they think their lives are over... But really their lives are just begining. Babies bring soo much love and joy. They are truely a blessing and change your life for the best.





The one bad things about teens ... are they are not mature enough for babies, but once the baby gets here ... everyday they mature more. Just remember nobody ever said it was easy, it is hard, really hard... but it all worth it.What is some advice you would give to pregnant teenagers?
To be honest, to at LEAST consider abortion.


Coming from someone who:





- was born to a teen mother and endured the


consequences and struggled severely because of it.


- had an abortion themself, and doesn't regret it. Because only now am I married and emotionally and financially prepared.





BUT if thats NOT an option I would advise (w/ STATISTICS):





-Stay in school. 2/3 of teen mothers drop out.. and high school is easy compared to the real world.


-Dont make that mistake again.One-fourth of adolescent mothers will have a second child within 24 months of the first.


-Raise your child not to do the same, and to be a good person. Daughters born to adolescent parents are more likely to become teen mothers themselves. A son born to a young woman in her teens is three times more likely to serve time in prison.





...this is the best advice I can give.
You are NOT a kid anymore. Forget about your life. You are living for your child. The sooner you realize it the better. Your friends will walk out on you. You might be too sick to attend classes, but don't let it stop you. You won't have the normal party college life if you go. You'll be rushing off to work or to pick the kid up from the sitters as soon as class lets out. You won't have money. You will be poor. Forget about spending any extra money you have. Save it! Eventually that piece of crap car of yours is gonna cost you. Do NOT get a credit card. Being as you need money more, you're more likely to abuse them. However, no matter how hard it is you will never regret it. You'll be proud of your baby, and never love anyone so much. Also, if you work your *** off and go to college your life will be great. You also qualify for Pell grant so you won't be in debt, or at least not as much as other kids.
Okay, all of those answers are stupid and I'm sorry nobody answered this for you. I got pregnant when I was 18, right after high school, and I am now 21 with a beautiful 19 month old daughter. Whether or not you have this baby is entirely up to you, because in the end, you are the only one who knows if it will be right for you. I do want you to realize though, that if you are still undecided, you need to make your decision ASAP. I learned while I was pregnant that they quickly become babies inside you and grow very quickly, so late term abortions can be extremely NOT OKAY.





Anyways, just know that it can be done if it something you are willing to work hard at everyday for the rest of your life. It is very, very difficult and time consuming to have a baby when you are not 100% ready, and even then it can be incredibly hard. But it is also extremely rewarding, no matter how old you are. My little girl is my pride and joy and now, I don't know what I would do without her. I am very happy with my decision to have the baby. I work, go to school, take care of her, and am lucky to have help and support from family and friends.





Do what you think will be best for you and the baby. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Just know that you will no longer have ';you'; time, you wont be able to do whatever you want anymore, you will be changing diapers and feeding, clothing, taking care, and loving a baby.





They will depend on YOU to do everything for them. No parties, hanging out with friends all the time, no doing homework in peace, no more sleeping through the night.





But it's a wonderful experience despite all of that. If it were so terrible, so many people wouldn't have multiple children! :)





Good luck and remember, if there's a will there's a way.





(And be careful next time ;))
to grow up - what's with these people on here and their advice- abort your kid? go f yourself.





i would tell them it's going to be hard but that baby deserves good parents and it's not about them anymore- if they want a kid who loves them they better grow up and be good parents. if they want their kid to grow up to be a smart and wonderful person- to be a good parent
I applaud any teenage parent who decides not to abort because I don't believe abortion is right if the people were careless. I want these teenage moms to know that they CAN survive and do it.. but that this should be a very big lesson learned and that after this pregnancy they should be not only on a quality birth control but also using as much contraceptives as possible. You DO NOT want a repeat of your first mistake. Although a baby is a blessing, I doubt any teenager is truly prepared to take care of more then one baby.
Don't listen to what everyone has to say about your too young, you shouldn't have had sex or what ever. You are ready when you are and people don't know you. I was 16 when I had my son and I am a great mum. All you have to remember is pregnancy is a gift to women as are the precious babies that come out of it. Times can get tough but you get through them because you know its all worth it for your little bub. Don't stress about everyone else as its nt good for you or your baby. Goodluck and I hope all goes well.
Number one DO NOT GET AN ABORTION! Consider adoption!!!


Next tell your parents talk to them. They might be shocked and slightly upset at first but they should get over that and help you out anyway they can.


You can also talk to school counselers. There is also places around the States where you can get help with the pregnancy wether you decide to keep the baby or give it up for adoption.


You should also stay in school no matter what. An education is still the top priority.
Im 17 yrs old and got pregnant at 16 had my baby at 17. Don't let anyone tell you anything people just don't understand. My daughter is 2 months old and it is very hard her dad is 20 and him and me are still together it is very help full to have some one there to help you.All that i have to say is in the first 3 weeks its very hard u have to get up every 2-3 hours but from there its all smiles you'll learn
well i'm 17 had my son Kaylen when i was 16. Yes it was hard. i can say that i wouldn't change it for the world. i have had a really hard last say 20 months while i was pregnant and just after i gave birth. well everything is all good now.





My son was born with ';Gastroschsis'; is small bowl was on the out side of his abdominal wall. It happens in women under the age of 20. if you want more info or anything just email me and i'll tell you.
Stay in school. You will be no help to your baby if you don't at the least finish high school. Go to collage or get a trade. start planning how you are going to take care of yourself and your baby. And please just don't depend on the babies father, I mean if he sticks around and help that's great. but if not be strong without him.
You're no longer living for yourself, you are living for another person. Strive for the best, work, go to college, and raise the baby with dignity and integrity. Try your best! xx
Don't let people's criticism affect them 'cause everybody makes mistakes in their lives.





But to also take responsiblity for their actions and don't kill an innocent baby who has done nothing wrong.
Study birth control and learn to use them effectively. At least you want become some man's drink machine. Drop a coin in and out comes a drink.
Stay in school


Do what you can to FINISH YOUR EDUCATION!
To be strong, tell your parents, and don't get an abortion.
