What would you do if you got pregnant at 16 or your girl friend did?
- Thread starter Pamela
- Start date
My sister in law had her first when she was 17. She put the baby first and herself second. She's married to the dad now (she's 23) and has 2 other kids. She is a wonderful mom. I suppose in that situation it depends on the parents of the baby. It's hard to make it work but it's possible.
I don't think I could have wound up pregnant at 16. My parents were way too involved in my life for that to have happened. The rules were super strict...but I appreciate them now.

What is there to do? I would not make a mistake of getting pissed at my daughter in the least (i would hide it well). Whats done is done, those are the cards dealt to me so i would make the best out of it. Support and try to make for a good and happy life, in the end everything will be just fine if you let it be, and you'll have a little joy in your life seeing a kid growing up happy.
Abortion is an option also, and should only be used very very early and only if you can't make the above happen.

I was 16 when my daughter was conceived. My girlfriend at the time was 17. She had cheated on me though and we broke up before she knew she was pregnant. She lied to me about going on birth control and pin pricked some of our condoms. She thought that is she got pregnant we would be together forever. We never got back together, but we are now co-raising a wonderful 6 year old daughter. It has been a tough ride, but one that has been most worth while. We contemplated abortion or adoption, but neither one of us could go through with it.

This was not even remotely an issue for me at age 16. I did have a scare when I was working on my master's degree, so even at age 25 I had to take a real close look at what I might do. I had some very emotional conversations with a married friend of mine who didn't work and mostly just hung out. I didn't consider her one to be in a position to judge me as a female on my own and about to kick off into my career. It was false alarm, but I simply could not make a determination of what I would've done unless I was actually in that situation.
One friend of mine did opt for abortion while she was in college. Another friend of mine is adopted and he said simply that if he had been born after Roe v. Wade, he most likely would've been aborted. Upon hearing this, I believe I would do exactly as gab did.

If it were me I either would have kept the baby or given it up for adoption. Abortion is not an option I would consider. To say that my parents would have been very disappointed in me for getting pregnant is an understatement, but in the end they would have been there for me. They definitely would have expected me to be responsible for my actions and take care of the baby and get a job and do school too. My mom would have helped, but she had 3 kids 3-8 years old when I was 16.
