Is It Safe To Be Pregnant At The Age Of 18?

Hey, I am 18 years old, and 3 weeks ago, I found out that im Pregnant, I am 9-10 weeks Pregnant.



Everyone is putting words into my head, and I don't know what to do, from day 1 I knew I wanted to keep the child, but everyone is pushing me into the oppisite direction.



My mum is kicking me out, my boyfriend is going to leave me. I am stressing so much, and I don't know what to do.

WELCOME
18 YEARS AGE TOO YOUNG FOR PREGNANCY BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE CAN NOT BE PREGNANCY AT THIS AGE.
DONT LISTEN WHAT OTHERS SAY. MEET YOUR BOY FRIEND AND EXPLAIN HIM THE CONDITION TO GIVE SUPPORT TO YOU.
DECISION ABOUT BABY IS YOURS.
THANKS

Welcome to healthcaremagic,
It is safe to be pregnant at the age of 18. From medical point of view there is no harm in getting pregnant and delivering at 18 years of age.
It is up to you to decide now. If you wish to continue your pregnancy, visit a gynecologist who can do your normal pregnancy check up.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
It is absolutely safe to get pregnant at 18 years of age. From medical point of view a girl can become pregnant and safely deliver at 18 years. You can get your self examined by a gynecologist and there are some usual tests that need to be done on you.
You will have to take the decision if you want to continue with the pregnancy as it is your baby. It is a tough decision but think about both the options and choose what is best for you.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
From medical point of view it is safe to be pregnant and deliver at 18 years of age. It is up to you to decide whether you want to keep the child or not. As is it is fine from the medical side you have to decide about the plus and minus points if you have the child or abort it. It is a big decision so think hard and then take it. Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
