Teen Pregnancy
This year approximately 750,000 teenaged women between the ages of 15 and 19 will become pregnant. Because teen pregnancy and marriage are discouraged by our society, many young women and their male partners will have many questions and concerns. If you are a pregnant teenager, or you know someone who is, we hope this site will offer some answers to your questions.
Other sources for help and advice include parents, partners, friends and doctors.
When you're pregnant, it is almost always best to speak openly with the people who care about you, because this can be very traumatic time for some young women. No website can answer the most common questions that teens have - will my boyfriend stay with me, should we get married, how will my parents respond, what will my friends think, should I keep the baby? Since it is sometimes difficult to discuss these concerns openly with the people who are closest to you, many organizations are now available to assist you with help and advice.
This site will give you some answers to the health questions you may have about your pregnancy. Regardless of your age, whether teen or adult, you'll want to know if you're really pregnant, which pregnancy tests are most accurate and easiest to use, what are the physical symptoms of pregnancy, and what should you expect as you advance through the different stages of maternity.
If your pregnancy was unplanned, you can get counseling and a full list of all available options at your local Planned Parenthood office. They will offer pregnancy testing and will offer counseling if you request it.
