I assume it's too late for the morning after pill? If it is, then listen to me. I don't know you, or your mom, but I would seriously tell her. Most people end up in a lot more trouble because they don't tell anyone - and then they end up doing something rash. Your mum is interested above all in your safety. An abortion can be risky for both the mother and, of course, the child. I'm am not pro-life or completely against abortion or anything, (in fact, I'm pro-choice) but I would weigh your options very carefully. Ask yourself lots of questions (alla, "do I want to live my life with the father of this baby?", "can I handle the pressure of another human being", "will i feel guilty if I give him/her up for adoption?"). You need to try and figure out answers to those questions. Also, maybe try making a pro and con list... and then show it to your mother. She'll most likely be more sympathetic if you show that you know that you made a mistake - but that there's no turning back now. Who knows, maybe things will turn out for the best - I know that I have a friend who got pregnant at 16, and had the baby at 17. The birth was hard, but the baby was incredibly healthy (as are most baby's of young parents) and she's beautiful. Her and her boyfriend decided together that they were going to keep the baby, and although it's been hard on her parents, they've supported her and will continue to. She still finished high school, and is planning on going to college after the baby is a bit older, or as a mature student later on in life at a university. Your life is not over, do not worry. If you study hard, and work at it... you can be a vet and have a child at the same time. Of course, the difficult part is making the decision whether you want to keep the baby or not, give it up for adoption or otherwise, and whether or not you honestly think that you can be the mother that your baby deserves to have.
All here at JBTH support you. But ultimately, it is your and only your decision to make - no one can make it for you.
And go to a doctor, he/she can give you advice too. They can also tell you how far along you are, when it will be due... so you have a rough time frame of how and when to sort things out. S/He will also confirm your suspicions (sometimes pregancy tests are fallible - unless you're totally sure).
Good luck, Kalie... and keep us posted ;)

Love, and good luck again,
