    Question

    I had unprotected sex with my best friend and am now 7 months pregnant with his baby and am so scared. I am only 15 and am worried about having the baby because no one actually knows that I am pregnant as I wear baggy clothes to cover up the bump. What should I do?

    Answer

    First off, you and your baby need prenatal care. Go to a clinic or your doctor and get examined. The doctor or clinic will help you make a plan, tell your parents, and find the help you need. If you do not know where to start, talk to a trusted teacher or nurse at your school. Do not delay!
