I need help.

I am 17 years old and pregnat. My mom is always on my case, saying, “You shouldn’t have been with him,” and, “You go to a private school! You should have known better.”
She says I have to either give up my baby, of get married to Jacob (my boyfriend who got me pregnat)
I want to keep my baby.
Jacob won’t marry me.
HELP!!!

wow…not a good place to find yourself. that being said, your mom is just concerned about the future you are going to have. As parents we sometimes view the world as “Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda”. Patience is the name of the game right now, and you won’t find any anwers to come easily to you. Lean on those who you can trust, educate yourself on caring for yourself, and the new love of your life who is coming (ready or not). Every child deserves 100% of their parents committment and love…hopefully Jacob will reconsider what his role is with you.

I just got off the phone with that idiot Jacob
He just broke up w/me-says his parents aren’t too happy about what we did
I know it was wrong, but he promised me he would love me 4ever
I’m Catholic, too… It’s xtra hard.
I used 2 b super close w/my aunt, she won’t talk 2 me
My BFF blabbed 2 my parents, which sucks

helen, lotsa guys will say i love u forever. to them, at your age, forever is till next week. i can safely say, there wasnt much chance of u keeping him once u got pregnant. tbh, i dunno where catholics stand on contraception in your case, but well. no contraception, theres a HIGH change yall get a baby. unless you are totally infertile you shouldnt risk it.

Become a single parent and sign up for housing and then I’m sure your friends will help you out whenever you need them?

Don’t let it get to you too bad, Jacob is just running from a situation that he doesn’t know how to deal with. Also realize…this is a shock to everyone. In time as the shock wears off you will see a big change in your family, maybe even Jacob? Always reach out for help if you need it

hum. i dont no much about catholicism im afraid, is it frowned upon to be pregnant and without a husband? its up to u from here tho. if your mom wants youto give up the baby, then u have a sort of choice, u can tell your mom u wanna keep it, and she will probably disown you, or u can get rid of it,(im assuming adoption here)
that idea truly sucks mind you. idk can catholics do surrogacy or would that be classed as adultery? am i mixing religions up?

You do not have to obey your mother in this case. You have a legal right to make your own decision, it’s your baby, not hers!

I am very serious! Your mother cannot legally force you to give up your child.

Right. And on the note of legal options, calling a planned parenthood is a good call. They can give you the name of a reputable attorney if you need one for matters like this.

You will be 18 sooner then you realize.

How far along are you in your pregnancy?

When is your birthdate?

I didn’t really need the exact date and it is never safe to give out personal info on the internet, just wanted to make a point.

In 7 months your baby will be born.

3 months after that you will turn 18.
