If you just found out you’re pregnancy, you may have some questions such as:
How do I tell my parents I’m pregnant?
Telling your parents that you’re experiencing a teen pregnancy can be daunting, but there are steps you can take to make things easier. First of all, find a time where you can communicate with them without distractions. This is big news to share and it’s best to do it in a space where you can focus and talk thoughtfully. Secondly, try to remain as calm and collected as possible during the conversation so that you can best communicate your feelings about the situation. Lastly, remember that your parents will likely experience their own strong emotions about your news. Try to understand and respect their feelings, and be prepared to answer any questions they may have. If you or your parents have any questions or need guidance, we’d be happy to help!
How do I keep up with school while pregnant?
It is possible to stay on track with your schooling even when you are pregnant. Make sure to talk with your teachers and school administrators so that they are aware of your situation and can make any necessary accommodations to support you. Don’t be afraid to ask for extra help or tutoring if needed.
How do I prepare for the upcoming changes?
It is important to take care of your body and health during a teen pregnancy. Make sure to get enough rest and eat a healthy diet to keep yourself strong and energized. Additionally, you should have regular checkups with a healthcare provider who can answer any questions or concerns you may have about the changes you are experiencing. If you need a referral to a healthcare provider, we can provide one for you.
