I know this is a tough question, but anyone here pregnant after being raped ?

I'm young and I'm always having nurses be so rude to me about my pregnancy. I don't get as informed and taken care of as the older women. It's not my fault that I'm pregnant, but I'm keeping my baby girl. I love her. I wish doctors would realize not every teenager that gets pregnant wasn't just having careless sex

Im sorry to hear that happened to you. I smiled when I read the part of you keeping your baby. Alot of girls I know wouldn't have done that. Your very and strong for it. I hope your daughter knows when shes old enough what you did by not giving up and taking what some would say is the "easy way out". Best of luck to you!

That's horrible. If I were you be honest with what happened and how it has effected you and tell them that there attitude is not making the process any easier. Take care and speak up.

I'm so sorry, sweet heart. Talk to your doctor or the office manager about the rude comments. That's unacceptable.

As a nurse, I am very disappointed that the nurse would treat you any different because you are young. Nurses are supposed to be nonjudgmental. I'm sorry for what happened and tell those nurses to their face that you shouldn't be treated differently.. they might change their attitude.

It's very sad you and countless other young moms are being treated that way by people who are meant to be there and help you. You're definitely strong and willing, that's all that matters. Their opinion is only needed when it comes to the health of your baby girl, if not.. just find a new doctor. :) good luck!

I appreciate all the kind words , and personally I love my doctor. The nurses usually just have attitudes or don't try to tell me things like they would  the older women. I may be 15 but I'm doing very well in my home school program and I'm mm doing everything I possibly can. I just hate the fact that I feel like it's a Hassel for them to tell me things. I hate it how if I even ask how much her heart beat was I get this rude sigh then answer.

If you're doctor and his office staff disrespect you, find a different doctor.  If it's just the staff and not the doctor, talk to the office manager.  No matter what your age or circumstances you deserve to be respected.
