My aunt said if I am she's going to take me to the health department and help me get on WIC and pregnancy insurance as well as any pregnantal(sp?) vitamins that I'll need.
My issues go a lot farther than the actual pregnancy though. Right now, I live with my father, stepmom, and stepbrother. My stepbrother & father sexually abused me and I refuse to bring a child into this type of household. Also, the Mormon religion is strongly enforced here, and my parents have said I have to go every Sunday if I live here. I personally so not want my child raised in this religion due to personal preference and I was bullied as a child there. I drove out to Illinois in August to get my dog which is now seeming to be a problem. I could move in with my granparents, not sure if I could bring my dog & my grandfather's an aggressive drunk. My boyfriend's family love me to death, but once again, my dog would be an issue. My Aunt Charlotte (2nd aunt involved) has said I could move 3 hours away to live with her on the farm. I'd be 3 hours from my boyfriend though & her dog is dog-aggressive, so I'm not sure. I then have a lady I call Momma Cate, she's fine with my dog & I, and I'm sure she'd help me so it seems that's my best option. I've asked my Aunt Vanessa about helping get out on my own, but a huge problem is I have no car. I could easily get my dog registered as a service dog ( since she is already to me) and that way landlord wouldn't be an issue... I guess my question is do I stay with my dad? I mean, my stepmom owns a family daycare, so we have everything a baby needs, but idk... If I have to leave mydog, I'd trust my dad & stepmom with her. Advice?

Woah woah woah, slow down you don't even have definitive proof your pregnant yet! Cross that bridge when you come to it but only you know your family better than the rest of us here, whatever seems like the best option, your Momma Cate and staying with your dad are the winners in my book!

In my opinion that sounds like a period, sounds like MY period. A week in my opinion is still very early to start panicking but go to your doctor/nurse, give them a sample and have them do it and if your positive make sure you get an appointment, prenatal vitamins etc and if negative go on regular birth control, condoms, pill, implant etc. If it is a negative and there is still no sign of your period for a while go back to your doctor and just get checked over.

Hope your ok!
