15 and pregnant

As per the title I’m 15 and pregnant. Have a vague idea of who the father is but unsure. Highly considering aborting if anyone has any information on that

Get yourself to a local family planning clinic. They will offer support and advice x

Well the same advice applies to her.

TerfTalk · 25/07/2019 21:59

She needs to go to her family planning clinic/ GP ASAP to discuss her options. It's 100% confidential and non-judgemental. She is safe there.

Tell your friend to call Marie Stopes - it will provide her with impartial information and can direct her to further advice.

tell your friend to go to the family planning clinic, get on some birth control

Hi all,
We're getting a few troll reports about this one, which isn't really surprising, so we've just popped on to say that this poster has been with us and been pretty consistent so we are inclined to let it continue for the moment.

Cosmogirl86 · 26/07/2019 09:32

If this post is real, I hope your friend and you are both OK. I fell pregnant at 17 and miscarried and it was very scary.

First thing is GP so that they can refer you to a clinic for termination if that's what is decided. They can even fit a coil during the procedure so she'll be protected for years from this happening again.

Yes, this could be a troll post, but if it isn't, a little bit of compassion is needed mumsnet.

InTheHeatofLisbon · 26/07/2019 09:35

The most important thing is for your friend to speak to a doctor, so she can have all the options laid out properly and she can make her decision from there.

It must be really scary for her at the moment, so I'd advise contacting Marie Stopes too, they can offer counselling and support.

Hi OP I'm sure your friend is worried I'm in northern Ireland so no clue about termination but would agree with others about the GP first

www.bpas.org/
Bpas offer pregnancy advice and support with abortions and help with whatever choice is right for you. Its tough being pregnant at 15 but not the end of the world whatever choice is made.

Has she told her parents?

Cosmogirl86 · 27/07/2019 15:35

I'm a little bit concerned that your friend only has a vague idea of who the father is. It's OK to be sexually active, but I am worried. Are the guys she sleeps with roughly the same age as your friend? How did they meet? Does she feel comfortable with them?

I know it doesn't seem like it, but 15 is a very vulnerable age. I just want to make sure that your friend is safe and not being exploited in any way.

Your friend doesn't need to tell her parents if she doesn't want to, but depending on how they all get along, it might help her
