I'm just really scared on what's going to happen because it's a life time decision tbh
Also the dads like left me to it.

hi hun,

people dont usually show first time before 12 weeks some only at 20 weeks.
Here are some basic tips:

you should definately have someone to talk to hun, its important to have support.
i know lots of girls on here have posted about telling their parents, and how to do it.

you should go to the doctors if you havent already to arrange for some blood tests, and your first ultrasound.

you should take folic acid they are pills any doctor can give you which is good for the baby to prevent a problem called spina bifida.

you should stay away from raw eggs, raw meat, sushi, alcohol and be careful about taking any medicine without checking if pregnant woman can have it. if you smoke you should do your very best to cut down and try stop altogether. obviously dont do any drugs. ( not meant to imply you would at all, just have to say it as its important)
just take good care of yourself and you will be fine.

you must be pretty shocked, but well done for coming on here and being responsible about looking after yourself. best of luck

I just saw you ask about termination, its different in every country, the longer you wait the more the baby grows. I suggest you go see a nurse or family clinic where they can tell you about all your options.

In the UK you can have a termination for social reasons up to 24 weeks, although many hospitals won't do them after 20ish weeks.

It becomes more awkward after 12 weeks as you essentially have to go through labour to have one, it's a major ordeal, and psychologically will take a lot out of you, particularly if you do want the baby in some way.

I would strongly suggest telling your parents or another adult in the family that you can trust whatever route you go down, as their support will be invaluable whatever your decision.

Remember that your doctor is legally bound not to tell your parents a thing too, so take everything at your own pace. If you do decide to keep it, dad isn't allowed to just jump ship like that either - he has to pay you SOMETHING even if he wants nothing to do with him/her.

Good luck! xxx
