This is my first time ever posting here and honestly it's a time of complete desperation because this could not have happened at a worse time in my life.

I'm 18 years old and at university, i'm on the pill and found out a few days ago i'm pregnant and have no idea how that's even happened because i'm on the pill, the micro pill non the less due to health reasons. My boyfriend doesn't want a baby, he's not much older than I am neither of us can afford a baby and i'm in university. But abortion to me has always been iffy, a relative of mine can't have children and i didn't think i'd ever be able to have them so this is... well it's a shock.

But in my position as horrid as it sounds a baby is impractical. I don't know how to tell my boyfriend as i feel he'll blame me or get mad. I want to give him a choice too as it's part of us both... I'm so scared and don't want to lose him we've been together a long time considering i'm 18 (3 years) what's the best way to help? any advice in general on how to handle my situation would be so so grateful. Thank you in advance -meg.

Meg, sympathy with your predicament. Could antibiotics or other meds have interfered withypir birth control?

I see no reason not to share with the boyfriend. That might give some guidance. Raising your child yourself will likely put an end to your uni ambitions. You might agree to let the relative do an open adoption. You should be able to finish this year even if your tum raises some eyebrows. The abortion option is not so terrible if you can clear it with your conscience. One in three women chooses this course at some time in her life.
