Advice for soon to be teen mother?

So here is my sad story. I have just found out that I am over two months pregnant and I am only seventeen. My parents practically disowned me when I told them about it so their is no hope from them, and my boyfriend is just starting college this fall and says he isn't going to through his life away on his high school girlfriend and a baby that might not even be his. (Which is ridiculous because he is the only person I have ever been with, he just doesn't want to take responsibility for his actions).





I am not going to have an abortion, it is not and will never be an option. And I have medical problems that make it practically impossible to get pregnant (which is how I got pregnant because we didn't use any protection because my OB/GYN said I would never be able to conceive). So I refuse to give my child up for adoption because he or she maybe the only child I ever have, the baby may have come at a bad time but he/she is a miracle!





I have just started college and don't want to drop out. Of course I will have to take spring semester off when I have my baby but then I want to go right back. I have a minimum wage part time job but I know that wont be enough to take care of my baby. I need help but don't have anyone. I would love to hear some advice from other mothers, exspecaly teen mothers or former teen mothers. I need both emotional encouragement and financial advice.





Thanks in advance!Advice for soon to be teen mother?
Hi I got pregnant at 16 and just had my baby boy almost 10 weeks ago i am now 17.


I got on this plan where i live and it pays for EVERYTHING it payed for the docter visits it payed for the hospital stay and everything its amazing and i dont have a job so i got on WIC you should look it up im sure they have it everywhere. they can give you food and money to help out and if you need any other kind of help they can help you with it. there are things to help young mothers out everywhere you just have to look. =D best of luck and congrats!!!! babies are amazing! i know its scarey now but once that little baby is in your arms you will feel in heaven. also about the father F**k him if he doesnt want to be in your babies life then you need to move on. i know its hard an its seems harder cause your parents and him left you but you are a strong women for keeping that baby and you will be a great mother with or without them. just have hope and believe in yourself!! time will go bye and your parents once they seen your baby they will want to be in the babies life they just need time to come around its a big shock to hear they baby girl is pregnant ha but in time they will come to love your baby. Best of luck!!! and have fun!!Advice for soon to be teen mother?
you can get state assistance. food stamps, housing, wic, etc. since you dont have any help its the best chance you have to give your child what they need. youre right, this baby is a miracle and if you choose to keep it then good for you! it wont be easy though. good luck through everything!
Bree, please please stay in school that is the best thing you can do right now for your baby. Their is help out their you just have to know where to look. Welfare, Wic, Food Stamps, Food Banks. Try some of these links I have provided. They may help. Your pride should not get in the way of taking care of your child so let these organizations help the two of you. And I wish you the best of luck. And also you might consider getting child support. If the child is his he cannot escape responsibility in the courts.

Medicaid and wic to start with. Try not to stress. While working where you are see if you can find a better Job. There are hundreds of pregnancy centers in the country. Look up one in your area and find out what they can help you with. Also, theres a (Im 99% sure its national) help line 211 that you can dial and they also have numbers and addresses to places that will help you.





Don't worry too much about the parents and boyfriend. I can't say I know the latter but im sure the former will come around once they get use to the idea. Remember its every parents nightmare for their child to become a parent before they're ready.





Just stay patient and go with the flow of things. You'll be alright. Im preggo right now and my husband still hassnt told his parents. We didn't plan this and he's terrified of his mother because she is very scary. I know what its like. But everything will work out.





Congrats on the baby %26lt;3
Well considering your situation and the fact you want to go to college, you should really consider an open adoption. That way you won't be giving up what may be your only child because you'll be a part of his/her life and they'll be able to understand why you did what you did. Also you will be able to continue to live your life the way you planned to. GOOD LUCK!

Hey Brianna. I understand what your going through. I got pregnant when I was 18, I'm 23 now. The baby's father pushed me to get an abortion but I didn't feel like that was the right thing to do. My parents were very upset with me and they also told me they didn't want anything to do with me. I ended up having my baby and my parents finally came around. As for the baby's father well she's 4 and he still hasn't seen her. Like everyone else has said, you need to get on Wic as soon as possible. They will help with the baby formula which is very expensive. And also go to your lcal Welfare office to get on medicade, that will pay for the hospital bill and your stay there. Don't worry about your parents they will come around, it takes time. As for school, that is the most important gift you can give your child is a steady home life, so you want to finish and find a good job. Everything will work out for you. God doesn't throw anything at you that you can't handle. Remember that. Congrats and Good luck.
