Ok. Well if you aren’t married the solution is simple.

Maybe I misunderstand. Are you saying you are unmarried and think you might be pregnant? If so, you need to find out ASAP and start taking prenatal vitamins and tell the father so you can make a plan of what to do after you give birth.

Your diocese should have some groups you can reach out to in regards to pregnancy and help. Do you know about them?

To be fair most of my exploring on this earth has happened since I’ve had children…

Maybe you’re not reading this the same way that I am, but I believe she’s already pregnant and that’s why she’s stressing. Your suggestion that the solution is simple based on her marital status could, if that’s the case, be taken as endorsement for abortion as a course of action. I don’t mean to accuse you of intentionally suggesting that, and perhaps she is not pregnant, but maybe it’s something to be aware of and cautious of moving forward.
Edit: You posted a follow-up comment while I was typing this one that addressed this. So, disregard! My bad friend.
@jeffseid234 - No one is every truly ready to be a parent. If you’re not pregnant, stop having pre-marital sex. It’s not a prudish, old-world way of thinking. It’s the right thing to do. If you are pregnant, relax. It’s going to be hard, but it’s hard for everyone. Your child will not remember how hard it was on you, just that you loved them. It’s going to be okay, I promise.

Do you live at home with your parents, and do your parents know?

I don’t understand what the issue is, then.No im not, thats why i dont want to be pregnant and im not ready for the responsibilities as a mother.
Are you saying that you are pregnant? If so, the time for wishing you weren’t pregnant has passed. You need to talk to your family.
I encourage you to make an appointment with Catholic Charities to discuss parenting and adoption plans. They helped my sister place my nephew for adoption 18 years ago when she made some choices that weren’t the best and the father left her on her own. My nephew just graduated from high school this year. It was an open adoption so my sister has been in his life and so has our family.
Contact Catholic Charities, they have really good counseling for both parenting and adoption plans.

If you are pregnant, you’ll have to decide whether you are ready to raise your baby yourself or whether to place the baby for adoption.
If you decide upon adoption, know that there is no shortage of good Catholic couples waiting to adopt. My wife and I adopted, and the waiting list to adopt was a couple of years. We are hoping to adopt again. If you choose adoption through a private agency, as the birth mother you would get to help select the adoptive parents you want for your baby, selecting a couple who feels right to you. Also, open adoptions are common these days and an option. If you want an open adoption, you’ll have the opportunity to know your baby as they grow up to the extent agreed upon and that you feel comfortable with.

This must be very difficult and scary.
Are you on your own or do you live at home? Is there someone in your family/extended family who will be there for you?
This may be difficult. Some Dioceses are still in full “work from home” mode, same for some Parishes.
If you were my niece, I would sit down and locate “maternity homes” and “adoption agencies”. It is a heroic thing to place a child into a loving family through adoption.
