I've got so many signs of pregnancy but I'm so scared. I'm going to take a test soon but what should I expect if I am?

Why are you scared Paine?

Because if I am, it's my first and cause I'm young, my partner isn't mature enough and I've not got a job :/

Not yet, i'm going to buy one asap. I've just got a gut feeling, so nauseated, cramping and spotting. Don't get me wrong, it would be amazing just scary stuff lol

Of course it's scary! Blimey I was 38 when I found out I was pregnant with my dd and I was terrified. Having said that she is the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm not sure I would have coped when I was younger though.

Pregnancy in itself isn't necessarily hard by the way, thats the easy bit! Grin

I really do want one, I know it would complete my life, eventhough I'm young. I'm just dead scared and don't know how to tell my parents/partner/friends.

Wow - that is young. What about the father? is he likely to want to support you?

darksideofthemooncup · 30/09/2011 02:08

Can you talk to your Mum? or do you have an older sibling that you could talk to?

He's 20, i mean yeah he probably would support me, he's just so darn childish and I have no idea how he'd cope.

I can talk to my mum, my siblings wouldn't understand. I just don't wanna say 'yea mum by the way I think i'm pregnant' :(

Try and talk to your Mum, yes she will probably hit the roof initially but you need to get some help sweetie. you are far too young to deal with this on your own

OhMyGolly · 30/09/2011 02:15

Oh bless you, I was 20 when I was unexpectedly pregnant. I bought a test in my

darksideofthemooncup · 30/09/2011 02:17

I have been in your situation, many moons ago. I didn't go through with the pregnancy and I didn't feel that I could speak to my mum about it. I was wrong :(

FreddieMercurysBolero · 30/09/2011 02:19

I hope you are okay, I have been there, it is scary, yes but if you bite the bullet and test you will at least be able to figure out wher to go from here.

I think you know what you have to do. Get a test tomorrow and if you are talk to your Mum. Let us know how you get on, there is a wealth of support on here. Good luck lovely, I really hope it all works out for you xx

Best of luck pet, whatever the outcome. X

spookshowangellovesit · 30/09/2011 14:51

i was 17 when i got pregnant with my dd it was a terrifying experience, telling my mum was interesting. you will be fine if you are, first thing is to go get a test and see were you stand. talk to your mum though, be prepared for some tough love from people. they only want they best for you, doesnt mean they necessarily know what that is though. xxx

SuchFunSuchFun · 30/09/2011 15:29

I would do the test before you speak to your Mum though just to make sure.

Good luck with everything. x

annekins · 01/10/2011 17:41

Do the test so you know what you're dealing with, and then have the conversation with your mum. Pregnancy is can be very daunting, and scary, and you need some you can trust and who will support you in a mature way through the ups and downs. And mum's can surprise you...they work in mysterious ways!!

Good luck whatever the outcome, xxx
