All I know is that I will pray for you. I am 4 weeks pregnant. i have always been those girls that never wanted a child and still feel that way. I will pray for all of us to stay strong with our decisions. Take care....Aren't there places that will help you with the baby? like birthright or sign up for WICC program and medicaid. do what you feel you should do, and Hey I will support your desicion.

Dont have an abortion..just tell your mum that you are pregnant..maybe she will be annoyed but its better than killing the baby.By the way because you are so far on in pregnancy to have an abortion they would have to pull the babys limbs from the body and then crush the babys head to get it out.Im almost 7 months pregnant only 16 years old and would'nt even consider having an abortion!!But just tell your mum,she will come round eventualy..as for your bf he may just be a bit in shock that he is going to become a father..just talk to him and tell him you feel like hes not giving enough support and that you dont feel happy.

Firstly, tell your mother. It may be hard but you can't keep it from her forever. Mothers surprise you. As you grow up you think they don't know anything, that their advice is not the best & therefore you rebel. As you get older you start to realise that she's not so bad & scary & she is quite wise. She knows things about life you don't & you start to listen because you know that she has been there done that. Secondly, tell the father if he is not willing to accept that you are having this child & be there for you, that it may be easier if you went it alone. You are still young & have alot in front of you but listen to your head. Then move down to your heart & listen. You will find they are saying differnt things. What you need to do is move down past your head & heart & listen to you gut. Go with your gut feeling. The bottom line is TELL YOUR MOTHER. She will help you, she loves you & knows you & has a maternal instinct with you. hang in there.

Once you accept your pregnancy you will know what to do and have the confidence to do it. But no matter what you do, you need to do it for you and only you.

I just found out that i'm pregnant. I have a bf i love but i've been sleeping with another man from my work. I don't know who is the father. My boyfriend and this guy prefer that i have an abortion- though the guy from work says i have a choice., whereas my bf doesn't seem to think i do! My best friend says that if i think i will regret it then i shouldn't do it. However, about 6 months ago if you had said to me...if you get pregnant would you have an abortion? the answer would have been yes. Now that i am pregnant, although i know that if i decided to keep it ppl at work would judge and my parents would be gutted.I still feel that it's kind of unfair for me to play god and end this babies life. I put my hand on my stomach,and feel maternal. Never before have i ever had a desire to have a child- nor do i now. I just know it would be wrong to have an abortion in away. What do you think. I'm really worried. Please help! Thankyou x

Hi there. My husband and I adopted a wonderful baby boy, through an open adoption. He is now 2 1/2 and we are looking to adopt again when he turns 3 or earlier if the right situation arises. I know how important it is for us to network and I think we are very easygoing, nice people who just need to find that special match. Anyway, we are 33 years old. We live in NJ and we are financially secure. We live in a great area to raise kids.. I feel like we are such a great family, we should be able to network and possibly meet a bithmother. We do have a homestudy, we just need to get it updated with one visit. We woould like to do an open adoption with a newborn to 1 toddler. Please if you are interested in getting to know us better, email me at Jencabrio@aol.com. Thanks!

i know its a little late now to give advice but i just want to tell you my story. I was 6 weeks pregnant untill today when i had an abortion and i am very upset over doing it. Im 22 years old and my boyfriend is 33. He already has a 6 year old child and is a pretty good dad to him. I was on birth control and never even wanted to have children. A few days after i found out i was pregnant, out of nowhere all these feelings came to me that i wanted to be a mom. I ws so excited and told my boyfriend. His reply was that if i had it then he would leave me and i would have to do it on my own. Also, he ' isnt really a good father to the one he has, why would he be a good father to mine. 'I have never been so hurt in my life. Anyway, i really regret getting my abortion and doing it for him, because that was my child. I was so worried about him leaving me that i felt i had to do it. Now i realize that i am better off without him and so would have my child. I am not done with school and had alot of plans for my future and dont make enough money to support a child on my own. There are alot of programs the government and colleges offer to help moms get their lifes on track. I was talking to a friend of mine who is from another country in the middle east and he explained to me" it is a womans right to be able to have a child in the usa and get help if we need it" Anyway, you have to do whats right in your heart. Nobody is in your exact position so dont lent anyone make it for you. Whatever you choose it will work out. By the way -your mom loves you and she might be upset at first, but eventually it will work out.

Congratulations! I know it is difficult, but when I found myself pregnant I also met my future husband! Having a baby does not mean you're going to be single forever! My little girl is the love of my life, and my new husband and I are due this June! I did not have any support either, until my baby was born.
Please know that there are wonderful support systems available to new moms, all over America! You can find scholarships to community colleges, take cla__ses online, find free daycare through churches, etc. You're never alone.
God bless,
Erin

Hi, My name is meleise and at 16 years old i became pregnent with a beautiful baby boy. I will say one thing feeling that baby move inside of you, that life that you made, is the most wounderful feeling in this world. It doesn't matter if the father isn't involved, you dont need him, you have your baby and your baby has you and that is family you can trust. when the baby is put on your stmach after birth and you feel its soft head and see its tiny hand and toes you will live for nothing else but that child. no one can take a love like that away from you.

When are you due? Since it's obvious that you shouldn't be caring what your boyfriend wants and that you should walk away from him now, maybe you should consider adoption. You would have to start college a semester late (September 05) but at least you would be giving your baby and it's adoptive parents a wonderful future. I think that you should talk to your Mom. Afterall, she was once pregnant too and she probably spoke so harshly about the "no kids in my house" stuff because she was trying to scare you away from making a big mistake and getting pregnant. Well, that ship has sailed now so perhaps if you told her what has happened, she would support your decision to start school a semester late and adopt the baby away. Just don't let anyone bully you into an abortion!!! You are not a child and this is your physical and mental health and your future! You need to educate yourself on abortion throroughly as abortionists are required to do this. Abortion at 4 months is horrible! I felt the baby start moving then! If you are only choosing this route for your Mom or boyfriend or, because you do not know what abortion really means to your health and mental well-being, than you are cheating yourself. Please consider adoption and please, dump the guy. I know he's young and scared but he's being very selfish right now and he's no emotional support for you during this time anyway. I hope you do what's really right for you...

Well if he wants nothing to do with you right now than chances are he will want nothing to do with you when the child comes. Please do the world a favor and give this child up for adoption. I hate working daily to support people that live off the system becouse they messed up. I go to work to pay for everyone who needs a__sistance. That is not fair to the rest of the world.

i am sorry to hear this difficult story. your question seriously brought tears to my eyes. i have or had a friend who had an abortion because her bf left her. please do not do it. i have an cousin who her and her husband of 6 yrs now have been trying to have a baby and can not do to a problem with the mothers ability to concieve. well to make this short there really are people out there who would absolutly adore having a child can not. if you do not feel capable of or financially stable to care for this child, you still have friends or family members that can help you out. or adoption. you can limit what you want to do with the child. such as being able to regulary see him/her on a regular basis or what ever. you have the right to do what you believe is best for this child so help him/her do something for itself give it a chance. then if you decide to keep the baby afterall your mom can't stay mad at you forever. she'll understand go with it. keep the baby.
