Is abortion legal where you live?
Hey take a deep breath. You’re not alone. First, see a doctor to confirm everything and check your options. Talk to someone you trust a friend, family, or a counselor. You don’t have to figure it all out today. One step at a time.
It’s a scary thing when you’re not expecting it and so young. Anything can happen during sex even with precautions. Take a few days to figure out who or if you’d feel comfortable telling someone. You don’t have to do anything alone unless you want to. You don’t have to figure it out right this second. Abortion is still an option if you want it, but you don’t have to do it today or tomorrow. You can do it a few days or weeks from now depending on where you live and where you can travel to if you decide that’s what you want.
It’s ok! Deep breathes. It’s scary for sure. But you can do this. I don’t know your living situation. Do you have support?
I would have a course of action in mind before talking to anyone else.
Lots of people have their own agenda and will try to railroad you into a decision that you don’t necessarily want.
What is your plans and are you going keep the baby or put up for adoption.
Yall are so sweet
Knowing you’re pregnant within less than a month is not the standard time frame to be clear. That being said, I’d recommend one on one counseling before the next steps. Whatever you choose, you have to live with.
Options depend on support and beliefs.
Sorry if I don’t respond to your messages for some reason I can’t see all of them
I’m 21 now and got pregnant at 16 it was scarry and I didn’t know how my family would react when I told my parents they weren’t mad they explained that there are options like abortion, adoption or keeping the baby I’ve always been pro choice and I could never abort myself and I chose to keep my son it wasn’t easy and no matter how old you are being a parent is never easy there’s never really a right time to have a kid my boy is now 4 and I wouldn’t change my choice ever he now has a 1 year old brother and I’m currently 7 months pregnant with another boy and I wouldn’t change anything for the world. Like others on here have said nothing has to be done today tomorrow or next week talk to someone you trust and really take some time to think about everything at the end of the day the decision is yours and it’s a big one
