Hi there, I am 24 years old and 6 weeks pregnant today. Just got back from the docs and they confirmed everything and now i am just so confused as to what to do....so the guy is a friend of mine for almost 5 years now and we just had one reckless night of drinking that has now led me into this situatuion. I feel that we are such good friends that i know he will be involved if i decide on keeping the baby, but i am sooo scared to do it alone..as we would not be in a relationship.
I know that this is prolly not the best time to bring a baby into the world but i also know that he/she is an innocent being and deep down i really want it. I am a very strong independent person and would always put my baby first with everything... so confused, any advce would be GREATLY appreciated.. THANKS!

It sounds like your decision is already made, you want to keep the baby, congratulations. Although you may not be in a "relationship" with the baby's father, the fact that you are good, long term friends and he will be involved and supportive with the baby is wonderful. It sounds like you have the strength and determination to raise this baby as a single mom with the help of a close friend. Being scared is normal, even married couples that have tried to become pregnant are scared by the prospect of having a child which only means that you understand and accept the responsibility and want to do everything right. I think you should sit down and talk to the baby's dad, he may make you feel better about not doing it alone. Take him to your first ultrasound appointment to make it real for the both of you. Good luck, you sound like you will be a great mom!

sweethang- I'm so glad to hear that, you will never regret it, I can promise you that. Everytime I see my daughters smile I just melt and anything that's negative just goes away, I can't really explain it. You will do fine. Please let me know how it goes.

Hi again..well i wasn't able to talk to the father this evening cuz he's working overtime at his job, so i think i will try again this weekend and see how he takes it. I'm going to give him the option of being as involved or as uninvolved as he wants with the child...
.one way or the other i am going to give my child a GREAT life : D
Will keep everyone updated!!

Congrats!!! I am so happy that you are making (in my opinion) that right choice. I am 27, I have an 11 yr old and a 7 year old. I am so happy that you have decided to keep your baby!!!! I made an awful mistake a month ago and went thru with an abortion :( I regret it everyday and cry a lot. You can definately make it...i have being divorced now for 6 years...I have done it all br myself. again I am extremely happy of your decision.

Hey blue, the kicking isn't all fun and games, as you should be feeling soon - think I'm just a few weeks ahead of you - some days my belly is bopping around like crazy I swear it's a disco in there. My little boy can get right down rough and annoying at times. I know I know, it's all worth it in the end, I'm not saying it's not, but realistic expectations are important so we can brace ourselves! Sweet - Congrats, any news?
