What advice would you give a young girl who is pregnant, but has not told anyone else but you?

(NOTE: I am typing this response as if I were actually speaking to the young girl)





';When you say young girl, how young are you? If you are a minor, your parents most certainly need %26amp; deserve to know UNLESS you are in an abusive relationship with either of them and your safety is an issue. However, my gut instinct does not tell me this is the case. You are scared and that is understandable. If you are uncomfortable telling them, then you need to tell a teacher, counselor, or minister or just anyone who you can trust to approach your parents with you. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. PLUS you need immediate prenatal care if you plan to keep this child. In this day and age, keeping it a secret makes absolutely no sense, especially since there are so many resources for young mothers today. Finally, I hope the kid's dad shares some of the responsibility with you as well. The sooner you get he and his family involved the easier it will be when the baby gets here. If he is an adult, this can really be complicated, BUT you have to be adult enough to step up and put the interest of the child FIRST. You were old enough to have sex, so now you have to be old enough to do the responsible thing. I wish you the best and I will pray for you as well.';





A responsible adult would not encourage her to keep it to herself. Again, the interest of the child comes first, friendship with the mother is second. What advice would you give a young girl who is pregnant, but has not told anyone else but you?
You need to feel comfortable to confide in someone talk to someone you trust a friend, your mom, an aunt. Once you talk to someone you trust is will be easier to talk to the ones who will eventally need to know. Make sure you go to the doctor. Get on prenatal vitiamins. Take care of your self. Get plenty of sleep and drink alot of water. Your parents will probably be upset at first but they will come to relize that there isnt much they can do about it but support you and the baby. Good luck to you! What advice would you give a young girl who is pregnant, but has not told anyone else but you?
I would tell her to tell her parents. She needs to get good quality prenatal care right away to make sure that the baby is healthy. The baby is the priority here. I know that this can be hard thing to do but they will find out eventually. She needs to take responsibility here. You can't engage in adult activities such as sex and not be adult enough to accept the consequences. Best of luck to this girl.
~tell her that she needs to tell her parents and if she wants me to help her do it i will be more than happy to help her break the news.





~that she needs to get into a doctors office asap to start her prenatal care. and that if she cant afford to see a doctor i would tell her to go the your local health dept and they will walk her through what she needs to do to get proper prenatal care for her and her baby.





~recommend that she go and get her some over the counter prenatal vitamins to start taking.
tell your parents, see a doctor or planned parenthood for advice about adoption, abortion (hopefully not), or if you will keep your child. i hope the dad is involved and she stays in school. It will be tough. Im 21 with a 5 and 1 1/2 year old boys, continued school for a year and a half to graduate, and still with my boyfriend of seven years.e-mail me if you would like to.
I would advise them to work through a really great workbook online here: http://www.pregnancyoptions.info/pregnan鈥?/a> . I would tell them to make up their own mind about what they want to do (which is why the workbook is a good idea, it helps articulate what you're feeling and what you want to do).





Then I would advise her to talk to her parent(s) about what she has decided to do. If you need help with that, check out this site: http://www.momdadimpregnant.com/ .





Best of luck!

FIRST - GO TO YOUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARMENT AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREGNANT AND START YOUR PREGNANCY OFF RIGHT WITH MEDICAL CARE AND PRE-NATAL VITAMINS.....NEXT TELL YUOR PARENTS ...if YOU ARE RELLY PREGNANT (MAY WANT TO DO THAT FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE OR PAYPHONE!lol) THEN TAKE IT FROM THERE - BEING STRESSED ABOUT TELLING YOUR PARENTS ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU OR THE BABY.....AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM ANYWAY...MAY AS WELL GET IT OVER WITH.
Not to confide in anybody until she feels ready to do so. Oh, prenatal vitamins and healthy diet, of course. And checking out a lawyer in case she needs to sue for child-support.
calm her...tell her to tell it to her parents also..


her parents would understand her situation...



Tell an adult, and see a doctor. Take care of yourself and your new little one.
you can't hide it for long.
tell your doctor..


and your parents..


it might be rough at first, but itll get better





best of luck
I would tell her to tell her parents
