Well, your parents are wealthy sweetie but you aren't. You're a minor and they support you.
Being a mom at 13 basically means they will be raising two children. And that is where they will hopefully continue to be supportive of you because you AND your baby will be dependent on them to do so.
No one doubts good intention but I can just tell you as an adult who planned my pregnancies, motherhood is very hard. It just is. You're tired a lot. And you have to have child care in order to go to school and work and therefore, any free time not in work or school will mean you are caring for baby which means social lives become very nonexistent.
I'm sure you can do it but don't underestimate how difficult it will be. And when you talk to your parents, it's important to be realistic about it. That will help them have a sense of security that you are maturing and have a better chance of making it work.
Remember, it's no longer just about you and your feelings but what is best for the baby. And as long as your parents are going to help parent and care for the baby, then it should be okay. But at 13, you do require that help.
Good luck when you tell them and no one is underestimating YOU. It's probably more a matter of wondering if you understand all that is about to happen to your life. But either way, a strong desire to accomplish something and overcome challenges and love of your child will take you a long way and hopefully all will work out fine. Wishing you the very best. peace
Good luck! I hope u make good choices and also smart ones! I'm not saying to keep it or not I had a child at 13 cause I was raped and I gave it for adoption and I lived my life I wonder about him sometimes but I know he went to a good family and hopefully grew up to be a nice young man I'm 28 now and that makes him 15 life does go on and now I'm pregnant with my 2nd little girl and have been married for 8 yrs! It's all worth it whatever choice u make! I'm just terrified of something like this for my girls! I fully plan on getting them on the iud implant as soon ands they get there periods!
Yikes. This is quite the situation. A couple of things. Legally you are not old enough to consent to sex, especially with a 19 year old. He raped you. Because of your age chances are very good CPS and the police are going to get involved whether you want them to or not. No 19 year old should be pressuring a 13 year ear old into sex.
He will become a sex offender and he will go to jail. You a not be able to get child support from him because of this. This situation is going to be emotionally difficult and complicated. You need to talk to your mom ASAP. You are going to need her to help financially support you and your child as well as raise him/her. I would hope you do not feel as though you did anything wrong, because you didn't. I understand you love your baby and want what's best for him/her but don't feel that you need to 'step up and take responsibility' for a situation you are not responsible for. I hope you aren't opposed to adoption because you feel it the easy way out or that you feel guilty over what happened and feel your pregnancy is a punishment. Sometimes victims feel this way. But children are not punishments and adoption isn't an immature or easy decision. That being said, I respect and support you in whatever you choose.
Sweetie, I hope really you are able to find a lot of support from those closest to you and some professional help to help you navigate the rough road ahead. Lots of love, support, and healing to you.
Im going to get a checkup at the prenatal clinic tomorrow too, to makesure my babys okay and doing fine. Im also going to take weekly classes till the birth ensuring i start parenthood the best i can. People will unterestimate the mother i will try to become but im gonna try block their opinions because its me who truley knows, and already i feel a bond with my baby and i know parting with him/her will be out of the question! im gonna try my hardest !
Thanks xx for everyone wondering i come from a wealthy family so financial issues will never be a problem, and i know now i want to keep my baby and give him/her the life it deserves and nobody can change my mind now
Ya know, adoption can be a beautiful thing in a situation like this. And you can choose to have an open adoption. That would mean you would know the child but allow a couple that is in the position to do so, care for your child. It can really be such a wonderful thing for everyone involved. And then when you are an independent adult, you can start your own family. So, it's the best of both worlds. You can know your baby but be able to live your life as a young teen should.
Just an idea to think about. Best of luck to you dear
