About Kimberley, Pregnant Teenage Mother. Expertise I am 19 years old, and have a beautiful 7 month old daughter and I am currently 5 months pregnant with my second child. I can answer any questions about dealing with teenage pregnancy, telling your partner/mother/father etc. I can help you find out if you are pregnant, how to cope through-out pregnancy, the birth and raising your child. I can help with the different options of child birth. How to recover after birth and preparing for the arrival of the baby. I can also help you deal with abortion or thinking about abortion. I myself have had an abortion so I know how it feels. Dealing with an abortion isn't easy, so I will help in any way I possibly can. I can answer most questions on teen pregnancy, and I may not have the perfect answer every time but I will always try my best.
Experience I am a 19 year old mother, I have a beautiful 7 month old daughter. I am 5 months pregnant with my son. I have learned how to cope and support myself during my pregnancy, and raising my child.
Organizations I belong to a group in my local community to help teenage mothers. It is for support for mothers expecting or mothers that have had children in their teenage years. I also belong to a group helping mothers who have children with learning difficulties.
Education/Credentials I have a child of my own, and am expecting another. I have worked in a nursery with children with learning difficulties. And days during the week I work in a local nursery caring for young children.
Question My name is Jasmine and I am 16 years old. My periods have never been regular so I have had many pregnancy scares. me and my boyfriend have been together for almost two years now, and because we know we are eachothers only sexual partners and I'm on birth control we don't use condoms (it isn't too smart, I know). I couldn't remember when my last period was or even the time around it. I thought I had it around March 13 but he thought I had it the end of February. So we've been really scared. I took a pregnancy test on the 14th of April but it was negative. I thought I started my period on the 18th of April but I only bled for a few hours...I'm confused and scared. Could you please tell me what might be happening?
Jasmine.
Answer Hi Jasmine,
Well first off irregular or missed periods aren't always pregnancy. I went 4 months without a period and wasn't pregnant!
Worrying about pregnancy can make your periods stop. If it has been 19 days after you had unprotected sex you will get an accurate result from a pregnancy test.
However, go to your local family planning clinic and ask about contraceptive choices for females. There are ones that are really good that you don't have to remember to take and work wonders!
