I'm 13 and I had sex a week ago and now I'm pregnant. I used condoms but I don't know what happened. I was due my period the day after but it still hasn't come and I have had many other symptoms. I did a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was just wondering whether u should have the baby or have an abortion but what happens in an abortion, what do they do?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for reading! Xx (link)

Hi there. Adviceman49's right on all counts of course. It may easily be a false alarm. In terms of abortion, if it comes to that, nobody really needs to know the biological details. Properly carried out my medical professionals it will involve no physical trauma or pain to you and will not impact on your ability to have many fine and healthy babies later in life if and when you choose to. Emotionally it is a different matter and abortion (which is terminating the life of the unborn and still really undeveloped baby) vrtually always raises feelings and issues which the woman has to face and come to terms with. Giving birth to a child and then taking on responsibilty for its life would almost certainly be a disaster at your age. You would be entirely justified in freely agreeing to one and must feel no guilt or remorse. Nobody would think less of you or judge you unkindly. Hope that is a help. You have hardly begun to live your own life yet, let alone being guardian of another. I sincerely hope you do not have to face the choice. The timescale is rather too short to be at all conclusive or convincing yet, assuming as already mentioned that this was the first encounter with your boyfriend which could have led to pregnancy. In the more likely case that it is a false alarm, then if you insist of having sex with your boyfriend please make sure you understand all there is to know about using condoms. They are highly effective if used correctly but mistakes in use can render them much less efefctive or even completely ineffective. If (as is quite possible) it turns out to be a scare rather than a pregnancy, why not get in touch with one of us here and get all the info and possible problems when using a condom? And discuss it with your boyfriend. Nobody will refuse you the info you should have because of your age, I am sure. Promise you I would not anyway. You want advice, not judgement. Best wishes. Hope things turn out for the best, meaning you are NOT expecting! X
