Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Abortion?
on my honest opinion i really don't think you should get an abortion. first of all killing an infant is not a good thing. you should take responsibility for what you did. and, if you and your partner love each other and are willing to take care of the baby then you should. i think your mom and his parents are wrong for telling you to have an abortion.

At 17 you are old enough to see a doctor on your own without your mother being with you. This is a federal law called HIPPA.
My advice is you find your own doctor and get yourself examined. Tell the doctor what your mother said so they know what to look for. Your mother cannot stop you from seeing a doctor, she cannot force herself to be with you as you are by law afforded confidentiality. This means you and your doctor and his or her nurse are the only ones in the exam room. Whatever the exam reveals, whatever the doctor treats you for stays between you and the doctor. The doctor can tell no one without your written permission. Neither can anyone in the doctors employ. To do so would subject them to 5 years in prison.
If you are covered under you mother or fathers insurance mom cannot stop you from using it to see a doctor. You only need to see doctors who accepts that insurance companies coverage.
Once you have been examined and the doctor has told you the results of the tests they ran. You will know if mom has lied to you or not. I believe this is the best thing for you to do as you need to be certain what the status of your health really is so you can have a healthy baby.
If, and hopefully you don't, have cancer, you caught this early means a cure is more possible. Also not all cancer treatments require pregnancy termination.

uhm... if you had cancer sweetie, wouldn't you know? I mean a doctor would tell you so then it would be obvious she is lying.
