I Think I Might Be Pregnant
i think i might be pregnant.
I’m a 17 year old roman catholic.
My gran would disown me. So would my dad.
I don’t know who i have to hold my hand while i make the decisions to get myself through this.
The condom broke; a mistake, an accident that couldn’t have been averted. But i still feel dirty. And I still feel like it’s my fault.
I live in Dubai, where there are no abortion clinics or contraceptives due to them both being against Islam. Nobody knows. I feel like the only person in the world.

it’s not easy here. I love in Dubai too. Your best bet is to make sure you are pregnant or not first then decide the next step.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am living in Dubai too.
Are you sure you are pregnant because the condom breaking happened before your period and your period is late? Or did the condom just break and your period is not even due yet and you are just assuming you are pregnant?
For your sake I hope you are just paranoid and that your period will come on time.
Birth control pills are available in dubai though so your statement that there are no contraceptives is not true.
In fact, at some pharmacies you can get them without a prescription…. But that is very dangerous to not be monitored by a doctor with BC pills because every brand of BC pills will give you different side effects.

You are never alone. Whether you are pregnant or not this WILL work itself out. It’s not your fault, you took the precautions necessary and if they failed you can’t be blamed for that. I don’t know how close youare to your parents, or your family, but there must be someone, your mum or a friend perhaps, who you can talk to. As other people have said you need to find out whether or not you are pregnant and then worry about it if you are. What about your boyfriend? My sister found out she was pregnant when she was seventeen; in the end she decided to have an abortion, which was the right decision for her at the time, but also the hardest one she could ever make. She, too, worrie dwhat our parents would say, and didn’t want to tell them, but I persuaded her to tell my Mum and my Mum was so supportive…so try confiding in your family, you never know how they’ll react until you try and, at the end of the day, you are their daughter and it is their duty to love you unconditionally and support you through your mistakes. If you need someone to talk to my FaceBook is Melissa Hoare (I’m the one with the pink afro!) just message me or something xxx
