Please do not wait on us if you may need or want EC (like the morning-after pill). Because it is most effective the sooner it is taken or administered, we suggest that you go ahead and get it, and if you want to talk to someone about whether or not you choose to use it, we can do that with you after. That way, you have it ASAP if you do decide you want or need to use it. <3

Im pregnant

Unread post by StellaBella »

Went to Planned Parenthood with my mom yesterday and got a confirmation that im 7 weeks pregnant. Cried throughout the night, my mom giving me hugs every 20 minutes. Im still not happy with any of this. Wish it didn't happen. Baby would be due maybe a month after I turn 18, but it would be just a couple months shy of graduating from high school. My mom supports whatever decision I make, and she is okay if I decide to keep it. Haven't told the guy just yet, and im sure I know who it is but it could be the other guy but I dont really think it would be.
JUST LOST! Part of me wants to keep it, part of me doesn't, part of my is afraid of having a baby, part of me is afraid of having an abortion. Only my mom and I know about this, but people will find out in a couple months and know that im pregnant.
I dont know. I can't see myself not keeping it, I think it would haunt me. What could have been.
Im here asking for support. I'm mostly embarrassed. I just now remembered this place, thought I would get on here and ask.

Hey StellaBella, I’m glad you’ve found us back here but I am so sorry it’s under these circumstances. I know how stressful this can be and I want you to know you’re not alone. We’re here to help you through this in whatever way feels right for you. <3

It sounds like you’re thinking through your options but aren’t sure yet. That’s okay! Since you’re 7 weeks pregnant, you do have a few weeks to decide if you want to have an abortion, keep the baby, or adopt.

Do you want to talk through a bit of where your head is at with each of these options? Or is there another way we can support you that you’d find more helpful?
