Hey all....i was just looking for some advice but mostly support from those who have been there before..I just tuned 16 on the 22 of april..and im currently 18 weeks prego. When i told the father of the baby (boy friend of 2 years) he bailed and told me to never call him back. Then i had to tell me dada (dont know my mother) and now i either give the baby up for adoption or get out of the house. Im determand to keep this baby, but i have no were to go, no money and no medical. Im almost 5 months prego and i havent seen a docter yet. My dad wont talk me. I have been told that i can call the cops on my dad for him treating me like this, but i just cant do it. He's my dad and more people besides me need him. But i just dont know what to do....any advice?????

I hope things are going better for you. If you are considering adoption, please consider us. 5 1/2 years ago our daughter Arianna was born and her birthmom made the most difficult decision of her life. We have an open adoption with an ongoing relationship with Arianna's birthmom and birthgrandmother. We would love to adopt more kids and Arianna will be a great big sis! For more info on us and pictures of our family go to our website at adopt dot bedlamtech dot com or check our my space under username kkacoker or email us at cokerfamily at sbcglobal.net. We hope to hear from you soon, but no matter what your decision, good luck and I'll pray for you.

If you don't tell someone this situation will never get any better. They wont necessarily take you away from him but they can monitor him to make sure he is taking care of you. It is either be homeless and starving while you are trying to nurture your unborn or talk to the police. Just get up the courage and do it. These decisions are only going to get harder when you become a mother.

if you want this BABY like you say you do GET MEDICAIL ATTENTION thats a MAIN THING when your pregnant you need all the medical attention in the world what if your babys umbilical cord is wrap around its neck & you could have helped saved that situation if you went to the doctor think of all the regrets you will have to live with if something bad happenes to that unborn child. alot of guys run if your only 16 what is he the same age that would be a scarey age for me beign told im going to be a daddy my boyfriend was 19 when i had are DAUGHTER & i was even 18 yet. it was scarey for us i cant imagine being 16 & all its got to be hard but i know hes running cuz hes scared he doesnt want to have to tell his parents, i garantee that. id leave your fathers go to a shelter or something get to a doctor asap. get some medical attention for you & this child;;; but question if you havent went to the doctor how do YOU know your 18 weeks.?! i was 13 weeks pregnant & i didnt know or just because you havent had you period that long doesnt mean thats how far along you are & if your 5 months you should be showing at least a bit well i d k 18 weeks maybe not i really didnt start showing till 22 or so;; but i dont know im here to help you but think of you CHILD not just yourself.!

Well, your boyfriend i think is just confused and scared. Hopefully he comes back around. I bet once you have that baby, he will defnitaly want to see the child. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I wish i could do something more about it. And about your dad, well he needs to calm down, and hun.. your 16! If he kicks you out hes more then likely getting in trouble for that! you can NOT kick your child out of the house legally! if there under the age of 18! so hun, stay strong! and keep us all updated on everything!! xoxox!! my msn is xhollisterxbabyx at hotmail
if you would like to talk more!

THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS SEE A DOCTER AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS OK WITH THAT BABY AND UR SELF FOR THAT MATTER.... IF I WAS YOU I WOULDNT WASTE UR TIME WITH THE BOYFRIEND...IF HE WANTS TO BE THERE HE WILL BE...AND IF HE DOESNT HE WONT PLAN AND SIMPLE... AND I THINK GOING TO A SHELTER MAY BE THE BEST BET FOR YOU...FOR TWO RESONS...IT MAY HELP UR DAD SEE THAT YOU ARE COMMITED TO HAVING THIS BABY AND RASING IT URSELF AND MAYBE THAT WILL BE ENOUGHT TO MAKE HIM OPEN HIS HEART TO UR BABY...AND 2ND IF THAT DOESN T HAPPEN THEY WILL HELP YOU GET EVERTHING YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT BABY IF THATS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO.....BUT PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR AND TALK TO SOMEONE!!!!! MAYBE A FRIENDS PARTENTS OR OTHER FAMILY MEMEBER COULD TAKE YOU IN????

The first thing you should do is go and get medical attention. it's not just about you anymore you have to put the baby first no matter what. and also how can you let your dad treat you like this. i know he's your dad and you love him and all that jazz but at the end of the day he's YOUR DAD and he should be trying his best to help you through whatever choices you make. i really do hope things work out. (btw you have the same birthday as my daughter)

I knew that i was 18 weeks becuase i only had sex once and i knew the exsact date. And i also went to a free clinic in california before i moved, the gave me a free pregnancy test and a free ultrasound. I am really really trying to get in to see a docter but no one will even consider seeing me becuase im a minor and i dont have medical insurance. I have tried already to get insurance from the state by myself but they wont let me becuase my legal gaurdian wont sign the papers. (being my dad) well as for the father of the baby...i could really care less about now. I have tryed to get him to see and he just cusses and swears at me. And besides i moved, He has no way to see me or the baby now. I just dont know what to do. I dont want adoption...i know thats being selfish, but im trying to do everything i can!
