lost

Comment Published at 09:3209:3211 comments11 comments144 Visits144 VisitsReport

i am so freaking lost. every 10 min it seems im either telling myself im keeping it or that i dont have any other choice than to get an abortion. i wish i could talk to my mom and tell her so she could help me but she doesnt need to know unless i know for sure that im keeping it. it would just be one more thing in her life to stress her out. i think i need some professional help on this one. the thought of having a baby is SO scary, then again the thought of having an abortion is even scarier. ive been told horror stories about girls who had internal bleeding after and had to spend days in the hospital! i dont know what to do!!!! hopefully talking to a nurse lady and getting all the facts will help me make up my mind.

Re: lost

I agree with everyone else.  I think you need to talk to someone - like your mum.  She may be upset to start with but she may be able to give you some perspective.  If not your mum maybe you could phone a help line in your area.  You should be able to find one on the internet.

Take care!

I really don't have an answer for you other than to say that you need to do what your heart is telling you to do.  If you think your mom would be able to help you, then you should trust her.  Take care and good luck.

i would really talk to some one your age thats in your family or like an older sister or brother that can hold your hand and suport you when you tell your mum. im sure she will be upset but she will help you and care for you as she is your mum and she loves you and wants to make sure your safe thats like there job to make sure that there kids are safe... talk to someone you feel safe with and then take it that one step forward and tell your mum... i had the same problem and i spoke with my cousins and they spoke with my sister and i had a hole support group i didnt even need to tell my mum...

all the best

Hi there,  I agree with everyone else here.  If i was your Mum i'd want to know so i could help you.  I don't know how your relationship is with your Mum but really consider telling her before you make a decision.  Best of Luck Julie

I agree speaking to a profeesional is something you really need to do. I agree with Izzy I really would suggest talking to your mum knowing you have her support and advice could make your descion easier for you either way.

Know that you have support here on minti no matter what you choose to do.

Re: lost

Talking to a professional is a great step. Take advantage of any and all professional help that is available to you.

I also think that you need to tell your mother too, if you're only worry is to spare her the stress. I'm sure she will want to be with your hour of need, mothers are that way. Like Jessgore said, she may already know that there is something happenning.  Should you decide to keep the baby or not, you will need someone there with you because either way will not be easy.

Re: lost
Your mum may have noticed that something is not right with you at the moment. She may have noticed that you are acting differently.. She is your mum.. Why not tell her what is going on.

In the end the choice is yours as to keeping your baby or not. But you won't know if you will have the support of your mother unless you ask.. As scary as it may sound, but mothers are there for us. And at most times they can be our best support system..

And you really won't know unless you talk to her...

I really wish you the best of luck what ever you decide to do. I am sure you will make the choice which is best for you....

And keep on blogging I am sure there are people here that can give you lots of help..

Good luck xxxx

Re: lost
Oh hun, Mums stress all the time,we are built for it. If it is not family,work or friends then it is our children we worry and stress over. Would your mum not be more stressed if she found you trying to protect her from stress, when you really needed her. Yes, do talk to the Nurse, however if you have a good relationship with mum,then share your worries. Mums have broad shoulders,when going gets tough. If you still feel you cant, then, keep talking to the parents on minti, they will listen to you and be there for you. Luv Winnie.x

Re: lost
Hi Sweety,you need a hug and some reassurence. Being a Mom is a big deal but being pregnant is a hard thing to go through if you're all alone. You haven't known for long so I bet your still kinda shocked. So try to calm down and draw in your forces! Are you still in school? You are living at home,think so,so you need to tell your Mom. She may surprise you and then again she may need some time so prepare for that. Moms love their daughters and that is that. If I can help at all just e-mail me! I'm a Mom and hope I can help.

Re: lost
There are many groups on Minti with some moms going through similar worries. I hope there is a trusted friend you can talk to. There are many wonderful moms here willing to help, even if its just to talk it through. Minti members are here for you. I don't know if you want to try this, but there is a really great place called Kasamba where you can talk to professionals online.

Re: lost
I have been really worried about you Hunni !
I so wish you could tell your Mum, I know its scary and I know you would be worried about your reaction, but us Mums take it even harder if our daughters have a problem and don't talk about it with us.
For instance I would hate it if my daughter was pregnant without it being planned but I would hate it even more if she had felt she couldn't come to me and talk it through. !!!
You really need your mum right now
Don't listen to horror stories from anyone, thats not what you need right now. Believe me i work in a Maternity Unit and yes there are some tragedys but they are very rare, a normal uncomplicated pregnancy is by far the normal occurence.
You definitely need to talk to someone professional, but honestly nothing beats having your mum there for you.
Keep me in touch, not because I am nosey but because I really care about what you are going through
