Welcome! I'm Megan, 17 years old and nearly 33 weeks pregnant with a little girl (:

Lots of girls on here manage to have a baby, attend school, and work to support their baby. It's not easy at all, but it can be done. I suggest looking into things like WIC and Medicaid and other programs in your area that help young mothers with hospital bills, food, supplies, etc. And you can always message me if you need to talk to someone (:

Hey, welcome to the group Smile My name is Lir, I'm 20 years old and have a 5 months old daughter.

You definitely need to tell your mom, because you're almost half way there and you need to figure out exactly how you're going to afford everything. You just need to sit her down, and tell her straight out, face to face. There is no easy way to do it, we've all been there, and you'll get through it Smile A lot of us are looking for jobs, and can't find any. A lot of non-pregnant kids are looking for jobs, people are not looking to hire a pregnant girl. It sucks :/ A lot of us have to rely on parents or boyfriends/husbands.

My advice is purely personal. I am not a Doctor and there is NO substitute for getting proper medical diagnosis and advice.

hey! i'm isabella. i'm 17 and i have a 13 month old son.

you should definitely work on telling your mom. like megan said though, maybe look into a few programs first? just so you have something to show you're responsible to your mom. how old are you?

i work part time and go to college full-time and of course, take care of my son. and i'm a single mom. it's not easy and i wouldnt' suggest it to ANYONE not 100% sure that this is what you want to do, but it can be done. i was much like you in that i was determined to keep my baby. just make sure that you keeping him is the best thing for you AND the best thing for the baby. you have to be at least somewhat financially and emotionally responsible enough for this.

good luck telling your mom! and welcome to the group! (:

Hey my names Toni, im 16 and 39 weeks pregnant. I agree, its really important to tell your mom..there really is no easy way to do it..i sent my mom a facebook message to tell her lol. have you been seeing a doctor?
* & at night she whispers to her baby boy, "Someday we'll find our place here in this world, this is our temporary home, it's not where we belong. Windows and rooms that we're passin' through, this is just a stop, on the way to where we're going, I'm not afraid because I know this is our temporary home."

I know telling your mom is going to be hard, but i think the sooner you tell her the better because your already almost halfway through your pregnancy, its also REALLY important that you get to a doctor, by the time i was 20 weeks i had already seen my doctor 3-4 times, and most people have an ultrasound done at 20 weeks. I hope everything works out when you tell her, and she may even be upset at first, but chances are she will come around..you can message on here or facebook if you need anything

i hope all goes well with your mother. but if it doesn't, you will still be fine. you seem like a strong girl and it can be done without her support. difficult, yes but it can be done. lir has never gotten the support of hers! but hopefully everything will be fine. good luck girl and let us know how it goes! <3
