You made mistakes in the past. That does not mean anyone will take your baby now -- assuming you're even still pregnant. The court is not going to give custody to an abusive father; if there's any question about you being an unfit parent, then they might look to other family members who are willing to help (like your folks or any older siblings). Even that isn't likely though, because mothers have a lot of rights, even when they are underage. Go talk to an adult who can help you find information about your legal rights -- a police officer or your county attorney/DA's office, for example.

You can go to a pregnancy help center, a battered women's shelter, a school counselor, a minister, or a trusted family member and find dedicated volunteers and often licensed professionals who can help you do this research.

Your boyfriend is abusing you and, if you're still pregnant, he's putting your pregnancy in danger. What he's doing is a crime. You need to report him! If he's punching you in the stomach, he's ALREADY trying to hurt your child. How old is this guy anyway?

I would imagine that it would depend on the state you're in, but if this is the case then almost no women would have children. Women who have done drugs WHILE pregnant have still kept their babies, as long as they show they are attempting to work on it.

Out of curiosity, WHY are you listening to him? He sounds like an idiot and his actions should prove he doesn't know anything. What makes him think they would let him keep the baby? You're looking far too much into this, and about things that do not matter. Worry about the present, not the past. Do you do drugs now? If not, who cares.

It's absolutely impossible for them to say a baby is going to be premature this early in the game. How a baby grows does NOT indicate it will be born early.

And I encourage you to read up on the laws and stuff. NO COURT will give an abusive father custody. Hell, most fathers have enough trouble getting custody even when they're better prepared than the mother.

Looks mean and tell little. When I was 39 weeks I 'looked' 4 months pregnant. If you're 8 weeks, you should be able to see a fetal pole and heartbeat on an ultrasound. Have you had it done yet?

You need tests done every 48 hours apart, and in a typical pregnancy they will double in this time frame. Have they said what your levels are at and what they are when they rise?

Because he threatens dosnt mean he will. With a case of abuse you need to report him. As for the pregnancy test it can take up to 6 weeks for your hormones to get back to normal so a test is not relaible for if you are still pregnant. Go back to your ob and request a blood draw to see if your levels are rising or slowly going down.

1-You don't even know if you're pregnant 2-He can try and will likely fail. Do your own research, don't take his word for things. Because you do this it he assumes he still has power of you.

Ya know, that's considered abuse. Call the cops on him. Why are you still with him and letting him do this, and WHY are you having sex with him? This is not someone you want to being having children with (because if he's hitting you he won't hesitate to hit the child either) and not someone you want to be spending your life with.

The father would be the person who got you pregnant. I would assume you're still in a relationship.

The problem is, if you're pregnant your family will have a lot to do with this. You're barely 17, children are VERY difficult to care for and they cost a lot of money. It's something to keep in mind for the future as well if you decide you want to get pregnant again. What about the father?

A test might not also show positive for 6 weeks. There are dozens of factors that play into things. I had a miscarriage back in June. Mine was a very early one, and my levels dropped fast. My test came back negative after 2 weeks and I had a period almost exactly 4 weeks after it ended. Some women's levels will drop slower, especially if they were further along. Their tests might show positive for much longer.

Overall, a pregnancy test does not tell if your levels are going up or down. You need to see a doctor and have blood testing to 1-show if you're even pregnant and 2-see what your levels are doing.

Also if it wasn't a complete miscarriage and there is some remaining tissue that will still produce pregnancy hormones and a d&c will be needed to have it completely removed.
