Amie repliedWell obv it's a little late to say that ittakes some people a long time to get preg-never assume. Some people it takes decades of trying ....anyway first off you need to get in to see a dr...your fam or OB, at a clinic(they have free ones-if you need to be tested they usually do it for free-you may want to call to find out what they do for minors-there is alot they do w/o a parent but some things they can't) ...something cause they need to look at you. You shouldn't be cramping though it can happen. Are your sure you are def preg? Did you take a test? If in fact you are not able or it is hard for you to become pregnant it could be something else causing you prob...like an infection,a cyst,illness etc...only a dr can find out. If you are indeed preg they will possibly date you w an US(esp if the cramping could mean miscarriage),put you on prenatal vitamins. There are also classes you can take and your dr can answer any questions...also if you are preg the what to expect books(the website is good also) has a lot of info. You need to get looked at regardless though.

Ete- Ete replieddont be too scared you will be ok and hopefully your little baby will be too. you were just like my mom too she was also 16 and 17 when she had me. well what i suggest is start eating healthy even if you are tempted to eat unheathly, because you too are probably still growing so you might want more junk food. if you decide to keep your baby and not give it up for adoption it would probably be best if your boyfriend could help commit. what ever you do do not get a abortion! they are terrible. you can always give it up for adoption. do some exersices to help you keep fit and maybe take some classes i wil pray for you that you have a easy pregnancy and birth. good luck :)

Nickerbocker_55 repliedWow you are young!

Um first of all stop freaking out....all the over analyzing everything can come accross as stress on your body and stress isnt good for you or your baby.

If these pains feel like period pains or you are having any bleeding (more than spotting), then you need to go talk to your mom or whatever adult knows at this point and have them take you to the Dr. to be checked.

Ways to stay healthy are simple, exercise, eating right (no caffeine, certain fish, NO drugs or alcohol of any kind, all the food groups), prenatal vitamins, no hot tubs, saunas or tanning, going to all check-ups.

Good Luck

Trystans's Mommy =] repliedok i am 16 also and have a 3 month old baby...yes the cramps are normal your body is still trying to get used to not having a period so the cramps are your period cramps..i was confused to but that is what my doctor said..eat health and dont go around smoking and drinking...i smoked with my son the whole time i was pregnant and it didnt hurt him but every bodys body is different

edz repliedi feel you girl.. i was also careless (i had unprotected sex with my bf of 4years) but i was a bit older than you when i got pregnant....

ok, have you told your parents?? they should know! then get a ob-gyn and she will give you advise you on what and what not to do. you can ask her everything you want to know. its scary, i know but you must be brave for you and for your baby's sake! try to have a support group (like you parents, your bf, friends), it'll make things easier for you

congratulations and good luck!

mad elaine repliedok, so you have just found out you are pregnant.,
whatever happens you are going to need support, so I hope you are getting this from your family.
Some cramping is normal in early pregnancy, but if it continues with bleeding, you may miscarry.
No point in worrying because whatever will happen, happens no matter what.
There are heaps of pregnancy websites with very helpful information on them, but you will need to have proper ante-natal care if you are planning on giving your baby a healthy start.
This usually starts with a visit to your local doctor who will refer you to other people to care for you aswell.
good luck.
