what would your reaction be if you discovered you were pregnant?
 

Girls.

I know this may be a bit personal so its ok if you don`t want to reply:thumbs:
The 'abortion' thread just got me thinking,what are the most popular views on pregnancy

Well first I would be like S***!!!!!!!!!!!
And would be sooo scared of telling my family, but after all that, I would be really happy.
I LOVE BABIES!!!!! lol

A bit shocked.

I'd be like "How? I was so careful" lol.

I would freak out and get rid. I'm too young to have children - I dont want to be tied down this early in my life.

My boyfriend would probably try and talk me into keeping it.

well i fell pregnant very early into a relationship on the pill i had no reason to think i was even my missing period didnt make me think oooh maybe so when the doc told me to do a test but it will be neg (they thought i had pelvic inflamatory disease but couldnt start antibiotics until i knew) so when the bright positive showed up on the test i nearly fell off the loo in shock even then i had to go for a eary scan cos they then thought the pains i was having were a eptopic pregnancy
once i was told everything was where it should be it started to sink in i was happy and knew that the baby was meant to be (she is now a 3 and half year old who i love more than anything and would do anything for)

I ALWAYS am convinced I'm pregnant.

& that's a lovely story Pinkmichk :) how old are you?

i am 24

Well we discussed about it with my girlfriend and she told me she would be very shocked, so would I be. We're both the same on that point: we are too young and if we stay together longer enough: not before we have a good career.

I'd be in shock and wonder how it happened :joker:

Seriously though if my gf got caught out, we would keep it. We're both anti-abortion and have spoken about what if quite a few times and always come to the same conclusion

i would keep it,i would tell my ex say look heres the test,up too you if you want anything to do with him/her.Id be absolutly petrified about telling my parents becuase ive always been so worried what people,especially my family think of me,id be worried about what my friends thought too.Id be scared stiff about the actual pregnancy and giving birth but theres no doubt about it ,id keep it.I don`t want a baby but I do feel that I am ready if the situation came about.not that it will.

tbh i don't think anyone not mentally ready for the situation should be having sex in the first place ...

I would think "I'm a virgin!!"

Tom you can have sex if you are emotionally ready to get intimate with someone. Thats what you need to be ready for. The closeness of what sex actually is and the emotions and you will go through.

Not oh I dont know if I will get pregnant or there is a chance I wouldnt know what to do so I cant have sex.

Thats just silly.

Are you saying when you lost your virginity to whoever it was - you automatically knew what you and the other person would want to do?

really?some people never want to have children though

I'd think who I could sell it to

At the time obviously I didn't care but looking back I should have, what if it did happen? I would have had no idea what to do because I wasn't mentally ready.

I'm also not saying you should know what the other wants to do whether you disagree or agree, I just think both should be mentally ready for the situation.

A lot of people who are sure are really careful with contraception though, some others have an operation so they can't have kids etc. But I still think people should be prepared for a what if scenario.

When you have sex you do think oh that might happen but you said "tbh i don't think anyone not mentally ready for the situation should be having sex in the first place ... " - the situation being having a baby.

So you are saying if you are not ready to have a baby mentally then you shouldnt be having sex.

I agree. We never know what can happen so couples better have a discussion about it like I did and you did.

I just believe that, even though I am mentally ready to have a baby, my girlfriend and I wouldn't keep it: we can't see ourselves stopping studies, and our parents would kill us for some obvious religion reasons.

I think that, teenagers who want to keep the baby must be mentally very strong and ready to work their ass off.

From what I understand, he said that, whatever happens, couples should be ready to take a decision in time. The best idea is to talk about that with the partner.

First Reaction.... Feck what will my Dad say..?!!!111
Second Reaction.... Plane to england...
Final Reaction.... D'awww a baby..... Plane to england.

No, I never said that at all you're just stretching it to what I've said in another thread.

I said if you aren't prepared for the situation of getting pregnant mentally (ie what you would do, how you would feel etc) then you shouldn't be having sex because if it happens then you won't be prepared and won't have any idea what to do, maybe regretting your decision at some point.

I don't think that when I have sex either, but I'm ready for the situation if it happens, which hopefully it won't.

Haha ditto!

It would be a bloody miracle because I cant have any more children :sad:

No actually I am just looking at what you said

The situation being pregnancy.

From that statement you said - if you are not mentally ready for pregnancy then you should not be having sex.

Thats what that says. I'm not taking anything from another thread. I am making my response from what you just said.
