Question
Hi Chanel, im 16 years old and i think i might be pregnant. Well last Halloween (2008) to be exact i had un protected sex, yes that was stupid but it happened. I thought maybe i had started my period but it wasn't really one. it was only a light spotting and now its going on March and i haven't had any signs of me starting my period. This worries me because i have never been like this. I have some signs of nausea and fatigue, but im also really tiny and i think i would know if i am. Any tips for what might be going on with me?

Hi Mackenzie
You would def know if you were pregnant. You would be starting to feel the baby move and would have already grown somewhat of a tummy. I do not think you are pregnant, but should def see a doc. If you have not had a period in that long, seeing a doc could help figure out why. He can perform tests and he knows you background, so best thing is for you to see them. Take Care

Hi! My name is Chanel and I believe I would be able to answer a wide variety of questions concerning teen pregnancy. I had my first child at the age of 16 and was currently a junior in high school. I had two more children after that at the ages of 18 and 20. I can answer questions dealing with everything from the unsure and scary part of not knowing if your pregnant to the actual pregnancy on to birth. I am now only 21 and still young and believe i can relate to younger girls very well. I appeared on the John Walsh show "16 And Pregnant?..I should Have Waited?" Also.
Experience
I am experienced in this area because i had two of my three children when i was a teenager. I finished high school and married the father of my second two children. I believe i am a very positive person when it comes to teen pregnancy because i believe no matter the situation there is a solution to bring out the positive.
