Answer 2

Hi Amea - I havent been pregnant at 17 but my cousin was. She comes from a strict household, but when she told my aunt and uncle they stood by her. Shes made a great mum but its been SOOOO hard.

I think youd better take a pregnancy test, see if you are pregnant. If you get a positive, then tell your parents as soon as you can. Itll be a shock to them but theyll stand by you. Parents have unconditional love for their kids, no matter what

Good luck :) xx

Answer 3

Oh dear, first off you DO NOT want to tell your parents until you are absolutely sure. After all you do not want awkward moments.

Lots ofpeople have been preggers at 17 though, nothing new

Answer 4

Well my situation was different I was already with my future husband when I came out pregnant at 17...so it wasn't that bad..I had times when i would skip a month on my period very irregular..It actually took me about 1 yr. to come out pregnant...Parents can't be that strict because they aren't controlling every minute of you time if you are having the opportunity for s*x...

Answer 5

Yes, I have been pregnant at 17. First of all, wait a few more days and see if your period starts, if you dont start, you need to take a home pregnancy test. If it is positive, you are going to have no choice but to tell your parents, you cant do this alone and they are going to find out anyway. I too was pregnant at 17 with strict, Christian parents. After the initial shock of me being pregnant so young, they were incredibly supportive and helped me through the rest of my pregnancy and even helped me with my daughter when she was born for awhile until I got on my feet. Im not saying that your parents will be this understanding, or your situation will end up like mine, but I think sometimes parents realize their children make mistakes and end up being there for them. This is not saying that you shouldnt take responsibility for your own actions, because ultimately this child is the responsibility of you and the baby's father. Its a huge responsibility and your life will never be the same because now the baby comes before everything. If you are not pregnant, please take precautions so that you wont have to worry about this again. You are really young to be worrying about being pregnant and really young to be having s*x, so please be careful. Good LUck To You.

Answer 6

I understand how you feel sweety. I was pregnant at 16 and had my daughter at 17. I had just gotten my driver's license and now have to be responsible and raise a child. I went through a combo of feelings: excited, nervous, scared, denial, back to excited again and the cycle continued.

I made double sure that I was pregnant and not a false positive before I approached my mom. I also had to explore my own feelings of all the choices I had to know what I was most comfortable with and then when I tell my mom the 2 words I know were hardest to say as much as it was hard for her to hear "I'm pregnant" followed with my own plan of action to show that I was taking responsibility for what I did.

She of course had to express her disappointment in me that I wasn't responsible for protecting myself with BC then it turned to compassion and actually talking with me rather than at me. It was a surprising turn from what I expected would be the reaction. She even got peed off at the father's mother for suggesting that I have an abortion. My mom was by my side through the whole pregnancy and delivery being supportive.

Now with your parents and the worry of telling them since they're strict it may be a good idea to check with pregnancy centers in your area or a counselor. They usually are prepared with better advice on helping you break the news and can also be there for you when you tell them. Just show your parents that you know you messed up and want to do the "right" thing.

My first child is 20 now and engaged. I'm glad I made the choice to raise her.

It's good that you ask for advice because everyone's situation is different. We've all learned something to help another.

Best of luck with your parents and what you plan to do.

Answer 7

well of course many teens are goin threw what your goin now . but yea go to the doctors b4 anything and if you are i think 1st tell sum1 your close to and they'll help you out. but then try telling 1 of your parents the 1 dat understands you the most. for example my sister got pregnant a few months back when she was 17 (she turned 18 july 8) but 1st she didnt kno her self i was suspicious but then she found out told me nd my older sister nd told my mom. of course my mom wasnt happy but she didnt want her in da streets wit her bf nd a baby in her so she understood my sister nd helped her as much as she could but when going to get an ultra sound done we sooned discovered she had a mis carriage. it was sad =[

but hoped i helped a lil bit =]

Answer 8

First of all,i *don't agree with the other people that you should not tell your mom,i think you need all the support you can get right now. and second if you stress yourself out that could make your period late. i also had a child at 17 yrs. old and it is very scary~but it is also scary for your parents as well, if you are.  So try to open up the Communication.you may be surprised at the results.. good luck

P.S~ i now have a daughter that is 16 and i would not want her to deal with this on her own.

Answer 9

Well hun I was 15. What did I do? Told my parents and went through h**l. But Im 21 and still with the father today and we have 2 children now and are living a happy life. My father put a 2 year restraining order on us plus he had to do jail time and probation cuz he was 16 and I was 15. It isnt that bad being pregnant makes you feel like a super woman! Trust me telling your parents will send some sort of relief!
