ncblondie's advice column

Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also.

I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.

If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

advice

so i just took a pregnancy test,guess what?yeah its positive!omg.....ok i wasnt planning to get pregneat yet!i thought the stupid condoms worked!ok i had lots of really big plans ahead of my life!my parents are just going to freak when i tell them.my mom dosent belive in teenage girls getting pregneat,she thinks you should get married and then have cildren.also my parents said if i ever ever get pregneat they will seriously diss own me.ok i really need help!!!
PLEASE

First, I would recommend having another test done at the health department or a planned parenthood office just to be sure. Home pregnancy tests can occasionally be inaccurate. If you are pregnant, they can discuss your options with you and get you started with prenatal care.

Then, I would sit down with your parents and calmly explain to them that even though you were using protection, you got pregnant. They will probably be upset, but I don't think they'll throw you out. Once they get over their surprise, I'm sure they will support you and help.

Good luck.
