Pregnancy & Birth DiscussionYoung and PregnantMy name is Cindy and I am from a small town in Arkansas. I am expecting my first baby and am about 6wks along. I am excited in a way but scared in a way. I am excited bc i have always wanted a baby of my own to raise because my mother was never a "mom". I am scared because I am only 16 yrs old and still have one yr of high school left. I am going to get through this I know its going to be hard. I just dont kno what to do about my family and doctor situation. Everyone is being supportive and is wanting to help. Just about everyone wants me to use this really good dr that is 45 mins from my home. (my sister, her mom, the daddy, the daddy's family) That is the dr I want to use. However, my dad and grandparents,whom I live with, want me to use this dr that is only 20 mins from my home. The prob is that i dont trust the dr that is closer. he isnt very dependable and is over booked with patients. I would rather use the one that is in the other town. She is a really good dr and has time to help me w anything. She is not overbooked and I kno alot of people that have used her and really like her. My dad does not want me to use her just because she is futher away. I am trying to do what is going to be best for me and my baby through this pregnancy and it seems like he is just trying to do what is more convienent for him. It does no good to talk to him bc he wont listen but I dont kno wat else to do. I want to use a good dr that i trust and not just anyone because they are located closer. How do I get this through his head wo causeing hard feelings? Add Your CommentYou must log in to post. Find Mommy-related products and services at our sister and partner sites below

Hello Cindy, it's good to meet you. Your situation does seem kind of difficult. Really the only suggestions I have are: 1. Tell your father how you feel. Don't go to him upset, just tell him calmly that you would like to talk to him, and then very calmly and rationally tell him how you feel. Don't get discouraged or upset if he dosn't seem to listen. Keep in mind that this is hard for him, because you are his little girl, and he's probably trying to adjust to this situation just as much as you are. Keep trying to talk to him. 2. If he refuses to listen and keeps on insisting that you go to the doctor that you don't want, find SOMEONE else to take you to your appt. for the other doctor. You said that your sister, and the baby's daddy, and his family want you to go to this other doctor, ask one of them to take you to your appts. so you father wont have to.
I'm sure that everything will work out the way it's supposed to. Keep us posted, and good luck.

hello my name is Brittany I am from baltimore. I am expecting my first child as well. I am 18 years old and in my first year in college. I am 9 weeks along. I am also scared I really dont have too much support beside the child farther. I dont believe in abortions. Im torn because i dont want to let people down but i just dont have the guts to kill an innocent child. i really dont know what to do.
