kristen22 answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 8:53 pm: It would be physically impossible for you to start showing in as early as a week. When your pregnant you do not begin to show till around your 4th month. You probably eating alot more because you are stressed out. That's why your getting all these thoughts of omg im eating so much more, ive gained x amount of weight in a week, im already showing....your just freaking out a bit. Calm down, take a deep breath and know that everything will be ok. I have been in your situation (I was 17) First step is to take a pregnancy test. (You may be worrying for absolutely nothing ya know) If you can't afford a test you can go to your local Health Department and take one. It's free for everyone under the age of 18 and your parents will never know. If you do find that your pregnant you have a few options.
1. Tell your parents and sit down together and figure out what to do
2. You can put the child up for adoption. (There are so many wonderful people that want kids and cant have any themselves.)
3. Morning after pill- Emergency contraception can be used when a condom breaks, after a sexual assault, or any time unprotected sexual intercourse occurs. Available from a pharmacy without a prescription.)
4. Abortion - Don't know how you feel on that topic. -Note just because I suggested it, in no way says that it is something that I beleive in.
If it turns out your not pregnant then I think you have learned a valuable lesson. Always use protection girl! and maybe you should consider getting on Birth Control.. [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]

And then see a doctor as soon as possible. You are at risk for more than pregnancy. I don't know, but I'm pretty certain that a week is too early to tell for pregnancy--but you should still see a doctor to get checked for STDs. I'm sorry I can't give you better advice, but I'm not experienced in this at all.
LUSHiiOUSadvice answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 7:54 pm: Its been a week since you've had sex, now is the time to use a pregnacy test - which sometimes arent accurate. If the pregnacy test comes up positive, you should probably go to the doctor. If it comes up negative, wait for your period to come, if you miss your period you should go to the doctor [even if the pregnacy test came up negative]. to find out when your next period should be go here - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) - If you dont get your period around the time this tells you that you should, you really should go to the doctor to find out whats up and if your pregnant or not.
It would also be wise to tell one of your parents or another trusted adult, i dont recommend it. but its best from them to know that you are sexually active and could become pregnant.
When I first had sex, I told my aunt..she helped me make sure i didnt get pregnant, then when it happened again..she suggested I go on birth control so I wouldnt worry about getting pregnant.

iheartdrumersss answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 7:52 pm: OOOOhh goodness gracias
ok first
BREATHE.
It's like i could hear the panic from my computer!
Definitly get a test.
I don't know if you get those kinda of pregnancy symptoms that early. You'll know by your first missed period.
Alright and about the results of the test-
If it's negative, thank Jesus for not letting his swimmers find a home! And just don't have sex again until you're ready!
If it's positive than you have three options.
Adoption
Abortion
Or keep it.
I, personally, would give it up for adoption. You're giving a baby to someone who is willing to love and care for it. That is, unless you would want to.
But before you get into that just go and buy a test from a drug store.
And like I said, don't have sex until you're ready. "Don't do anything you wouldn't want your parents to watch you do."
Let me know how it goes.
