Do you have a teen centre or something like that in your area? If you don't know, the Police - I assume you have been dealing with them - will know who you'd be best talking with to get support. You'll need to get in touch with a GP or maternity section of a hospital too. -------------  |

Where abouts are you? If you are in Auckland there is a place called Bethany Centre, run through the Salvation army, its free to stay there and they have girls of all ages, I stayed there when I was 19 and pregnant and it was very good, they do classes and you can continue your schooling by correspondance.
If you are in Auckland (or even outside ) that would be the first place I called. Im sorry this has happened to you,and it wont be an easy road, especially given the circumstances, but with the right support you will be able to do it. Have you seen a counsellor/victim support person for what you have gone through ? if you haven't it might also pay to see about doing that -------------

I am sorry to hear about your situation, but glad you are getting some support from your Aunty. There are lots of places to go for support - here are a few websites to have a look at http://www.theword.org.nz/site/detail/sexualsafety/teenagepregnancy - http://www.theword.org.nz/site/detail/sexualsafety/teenagepregnancy http://www.kiwifamilies.co.nz/Topics/Parenting/Teen-Parents-Corner/Teenagers+Pregnancy.html - http://www.kiwifamilies.co.nz/Topics/Parenting/Teen-Parents-Corner/Teenagers+Pregnancy.html http://www.rapecrisis.org.nz/content.aspx?id=3 - http://www.rapecrisis.org.nz/content.aspx?id=3 If you are in Auckland - then somewhere like this might be able to offer some good advice - http://www.awc.org.nz/3/information.php?sid=12&mid=3 - http://www.awc.org.nz/3/information.php?sid=12&mid=3 You will need to find a midwife to care for you during your pregnancy, depending on where you are in the country there are lots of options. It might be good to be under the care of a "team" of midwives at a hospital as they can prob access other support services too. All the best - its a scary time (regardless of how old you are!) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I strongly recommend http://agirlcalledhope.org.nz/ - A Girl Called Hope
The first thing you need to do is find a doctor, independant midwife or someone else who can support you medically through your pregnancy. Good luck

yas good on you for reaching out for some help, its a scary time being pregnant and it sounds like you have had a rough time of it..
you can always ask questions on here if you have any questions about how to find a midwife, or any questions you have having support is important so any offers you get of help make sure you take them up on it :) thats wonderful that you have your aunty to help you and your good friend also.. as kelly says you will be able to do this :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I know of a few places in Wellington so PM if you want...
There is a school that helps in Porirua + The House of Grace in Newlands, Wellington which takes in young mums during their pregnancy + the first 3 months post baby and teach you everything you need to know. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
