I know you get this a lot, but do you think I’m pregnant?

Q: My boobs are sore. And feel a little bigger. I’m totally exhasted. Our birth control method failed and I ovulated RIGHT after that, so I COULD be pregnant. I am not late yet. My period is not due til the 5th though. I really gotta know. I’m thinking yes, but I dunno… So, I don’t know if it’s too soon to take an early pregnancy test. I’m dying to know cuz my husband is away right now, just left, and I want to know soon so he can know what’s going on. I can only talk to him every now and then. He is doing iraq based training in the dessert with the marine corps. Is it too soon to take a test? An early one? How about a not early one? I know some are up to 60 percent accurate before your period… Do I sound pregnant? And I can’t get to sleep anymore. My mind won’t shut off. Not normal. I have a small baby, so I trained myself to sleep the moment my head hits the pillow. I have had more frequent head aches and back aches the past few days. I have not felt well enough to eat much some days, even my favorite foods. Do I sound pregnant?

A: If you are pregnant, (based on your period due date), then you’d only be…a couple days…at most a week pregnant. It’s a little early to feel the full effects of being pregnant–those do take a few weeks. BUT, it does sound like you’re pregnant.Take a First Response test. They’re great for early testing. I just got a ++ and I’m a few days early.

I’m 18 and pregnant .. ?

Q: Okay so I’m 18 and I just found out I’m pregnant. I remember a while back I was talking about teenage pregnancy with my grandparents(who i live with) and they basically said they would kick me out if i became pregnant. I’m not sure if they would serious, i mean the kind of people they are makes me think that they would never kick me out but now I’m scared to tell them. Please don’t lecture me about how I should have thought about that before having sex , I did, which is why I was on birth control but it obviously failed. I don’t believe in abortions and I want to keep this baby because I know how hard it can be to give your baby up for adoption, Anyways I’m so scared to tell them, I’m afraid they will kick me out. I’m prepared to work as much as I can to take care of this baby. I’m currently in College and I know it will be hard but I want to do this.Has anyone gone through the same thing before? Did you get kicked out or did your parents/grandparents calm down?do you have any advice?thanks in advance@ Kitty Kat- thanks for your answer 🙂 its nice to have someone to relate to

A: It was probably a threat to prevent you from becoming pregnant. I’m not sure what kind of family member would kick out someone that was pregnant. You can’t hide it forever, so you may as well tell them.

I had a 1 night stand, now she says she’s pregnant, need help?

Q: I’m a 28 year old man. 2 months ago I had a 1 night stand with a lady that I used to work with. She’s 35. We hadn’t seen each other is about a year and we ran into each other at a restaurant, we talked for awhile, and one thing led to another. We went back to her apartment, and had sex. Before we started, I asked her if we could do it with without a condom because sex without a condom feels better. She said it was ok since she was on the birtch control pill. And also, during sex, I asked her if it was ok and she assured me again that she was on birth control.Well, yesterday she called me and told me that she’s pregnant!!!! I was floored of course, and asked her some things. She said I was 100% the father since I was the only guy she’s had sex with in about 6 months. I asked her what happend with her birth control and she said she didn’t know, but that sometimes it fails.I was too shocked an upset to really make a decision about how to leave it. She said she considered an abortion and not even telling me about the whole thing, but she said she changed her mind and wants to keep the baby now.She said she obvioulsy doesn’t want to get married to me or start a relationship and she would leave it up to me to decide what I wanted to do. But she felt she had to tell me that she was going to be having my child.So what do I do, has this ever happened to anyone of you? How did you handel it? How did you tell your friend and your mom about this? I don’t know what to do!!

A: Do a paternity test once the baby is born to make sure it is yours. Until then I guess just support her. You are 28, you are an adult, just tell them. You never know where this could lead. You may stay friends, and make it easier for the baby, or things could work out. But if shes keeping the baby and you want to be a father in the babies life I highly suggest being around and supporting her these next few months until the birth of your baby. Then get a paternity test. If it’s not yours then obviously you don’t have to do anything. But if it is your child. I guess you as a 28 year old should know birth control sometimes fails and that there is always a risk when having sex. Best of luck to you and her. Congrats on the baby
