[Jen M]

talk to your mom. she might be more understanding than u think. get home schooled if necessary. u can make it work if you really want to. you're young but you made your bed, be prepared for al lot of hard work.

I would tell your mom...she may be upset but you will need all the help and support that you can get. She is your mom she needs to know what is going on....Good Luck!!

You need to talk to your mom- and now. She is going to be upset initially but then maybe you 2 can work it out. As for the high school- they may try and tell you that you cannot attend since it is against the religion to have intercourse before marriage. I don't know if they will succeed since it is discriminatory.Talk to your mom and now.

Be honest with your parents. They might not understand at first, but the deed is done. Pregnancy and being a parent makes you grow up real quick. Good Luck.

You have to tell your momma sometime! That's not something you can keep a secret for very long. Good Luck

Well you are 17 so I'm guessing that you have one more year of high school left so it is duable. I don't know how strict your catholic high school is but you may have to get home schooled your last year or go to a public school. I would say talk to your mom and then maybe you both can come up with a positive solution(that might be after she freaks out). Sorry to put that in there but since she doesn't even know your dating anyone she is probably going to be a little freaked and upset. She will eventually calm down though and then you can have a rational conversation about this.

maybe you should tell her...if you want to keep it but if you don't there can be major consequences... 1) Because you go to a catholic school and they could kick you out...but you can at least tell your doctor so that she/he could help you out...they are not allowed to tell you parents...if u don't want them 2....but if your far along, there's really nothing you can do about it the daughter

i can understand how that that must be and what your going through. Theres a lot of sourses for help out there but you got to think about the things you'll "actually" do. It depends how your parents would react to you being pregnent, it also depends if your going to keep the baby. talk about it with your boyfriend and see what he thinks about it if you havn't already. Think about what your life would be like after having a baby, if you'd be happier or if you think you would be throwing your life away. All these decisions are up to you...i really hope this helps

First of all, tell your mother. I was only 15 when I got pregnant and I thought my mother would absolutely KILL me, but surprisingly she understood. She'll probably freak out for a while, but she'll get over it if she really does care about you.Second, don't get home schooled. Don't drop out of school. If anything, change to a public school. My school even offers classes and day care for pregnant/teenage mothers.Third, make sure you get a financial plan. Around here we have a thing called WIC (Women Infant Children). They supply the formula for the baby and things for you too.Good luck.

You see what happens. Now you pregnant. Deal with the consequences in having sex at 17. Good luck with the rest of your life girl.

I'm sure I'll get yelled at for this answer but here goes do some serious thinking..just remember you have options. Raising a child is very difficult espically at 17 if you are mentally, physically or financially ready I don't recommend that you jump into parenting. there are things like adoption, many people who want children can't have them because of whatever reason, and yes I will say it abortion. personally I think waiting until your older and ready for a child is the best way to go. your still so young and need to find yourself before you can raise someone else. I also think you should tell your parents but if your really too uncomfortable with that then consult your doctor or another older family member. whatever decision you make don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. it's your life and it's your decision to make but like I said really think about it because once it's made it's made....Good luck sweetie I hope everything turns out ok for you
