I've been with my boyfriend for over a year and half now and we've been friends for years. I just found out that I'm pregnant. My boyfriend and I talked about it and he decided that the best to do would be to have an abortion. (I'm pro-choice) However, while trying to figure out how far along I was, I realized that I was more pregnant than I thought. I didn't have a period for two full months. (I thought I only missed one month...I've been stressed) In Indiana, you can only have an abortion through 13 weeks. I'm about 9-91/2 now and I've been thinking about it more and more and I don't want to have an abortion. I told my boyfriend that, and he didn't handle it too well. I really need advice (not criticism) and support because I'm soooooo confused and soooooo hormonal that every other day I decide something different. I have a full time job that is career bound and I also live in a house with my boyfriend. I'm financially, physically, and emotionally able to have a baby. However, I'm just a few months shy of my 21st and my baby's daddy isn't financially, or emotionally ready for the baby. (He will definitely step up and be there for the baby, but I have a feeling that'll be at the last minute...)

I'm in the same boat as you girlfriend. Don't get an abortion. Stick to your guns. Sometimes guys just don't think their ready but he will be when the baby comes. Just tell him your keeping it. If he says he wants to leave just let him know that you'll keep in touch and after the baby's born you'll take him to court for child support.

I went through the same thing.... but i didn't have the abortion, my son is almost 4months and he is the best thing that ever could have happen to me, i don't know what i would do with out him, throughout my whole pregnancy i would question myself on if i was doing the right thing or not, but in the end it was the best decision i have ever made.

Confused. The choice is up to you now. I was in a bit of a different boat. I was not in a long relationship with my child’s father. I made him aware and he like your beau wanted me to get an abortion. After some long hard thoughts I decided to have the baby but accepted it may be 100% on my own. I have not seen my 8 year olds father since I was 3 months pregnant but do not regret my decision one bit. And happily my husband and me are in the process of him adopting my son. Please when you make your decision remember that you are making your decision not his and if you want this baby it may be on your own. If you are ready to accept raising your child on your own then I wish you the best of luck.
