You should try post in the teen pregnancy section. Other teens that have gone through the same thing will give you the best ideas on how to approach telling your parents and other people and they will be able to give you better support if some people react negatively to your news.

Good luck and all the best xxx

You may be young but once you have decided whether to go through with it, focus on the positives & embrace the fact that you will be a younger mum!

And if you decided that abortion is an option you'd consider, remember that the most important thing is your happiness.

Whatever you choose should be the right choice for you, not other people!

I am in a relationship...although not for as long as i would have liked. I'm keeping it, there was never any question about that.

Haven't told parents yet, I know its putting it off but think i would rather go to the doctors first get everything confirmed even though I've taken 3 tests still doesn't seem real.

Thanks everyone for your help and support x

Congratulations! I got married at 19 and although people thought we were too young at the time, we knew it was right for us and it worked out great. I am sure they will be supportive, you are an adult and hopefully they will respect that - good luck
