you will be just fine! done let anyone tell you that it will be better to abort the baby. yeah things will change but many women have regretted aborting a baby. your bf is older so your not totally helpless. ive had two friends whove had babys at 15. one put her baby up for adoption because that was what she thought was best for her son and the other girl is still raising her baby with her bf/babys father and its been 3 years. and she could not be happier.  nicolealexisvera is trying to put ideas into your head and shes giving you the impression your life will go down hill from this. shes full of it. you DONT HAVE TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, YOU FRIENDS WONT LEAVE YOU (THEY WILL BE THERE EVEN MORE TO SEE THE LIL BUNDLE OF JOY YOU HAVE) AND YOU CAN STILL GO PLACES. be strong. you can do it. other girls have done it when they had less and were younger. good luck

Ok you need to find some form of health care or assitance program. Is your BF going to help you out...in this situation abortion or adpotion might be the better way ...depending on how you feel.  But here are some sites to help you out:

2. http://www.pregnancy.org/ <--- to go over pregnancy
3. Also you need to look into prenatal vitamins and make sure you are getting the right amount of rest/food!

Hun you have to do what is best for you and the baby you have to think of the future you will have if you keep it or not. When I was 13 I was raped by a 28 yr old man I got pregnant and am totally against abortion but I realized at 13 in highschool I could not support a child I wasn't ready and now at15 there is no way I am things change your freinds leave you you can't go anywhere your constantly working and will end up dropping out of school and sad to say most likley the boy won't stay around unless your a millionare or have family supporting you you need to make the logical decision
and if your having doubts and asking others you know what that is

i have had many friends with simular problems but i haven't been pregnant myself, from what you've said i'm assuming you're keeping the baby thats going to have to be one of your first choices i know i could never terminate a pregnancy but the choice is up to you so dont let anyone influence what you think is best for you, i've been told symptoms vary from girl to girl morning sickness being common, although my cousin didnt go through that she was very grumpy through her whole pregnancy and got into many fights with her mum and family ive also been told by varous family members that sleeping will become an issue if you normally sleep on your back i suggest you get used to sleeping on your side or putting a pillow under your back so your back is raised, apparently this is more comfortable. my cousin also complained of the baby kicking her and/or sleeping in the lower arch of her back she said this was very uncomfortable this was of course in the later stages. i suggest to you to stay in school as long as you can or even do some tafe courses while you can so you have an education to fall back on whenever you need it. with financial aid i suggest go into your nearest centrelink or government place and enquire about benifits you can get. i myself are on student allowance which is about 190 per week plus i can earn a little bit of extra money too if you live in australia there are baby bonuses and alot of help from the government so its worth looking into it. if you are no longer in school try to get a casual job somewhere for 6 months or until you dont feel up to going, the key is SAVE everything. i hope ive helped with a couple things feel free to post again and ill do my best. bye.
