Hello Everyone. I am 18 years old and have been with my boyfriend for over a year. We just found out last week that we are pregnant. When I saw that it was positive, my heart sank and I bursted into tears. My boyfriend was there for me which made it a little calmer. I never though this would happen to me. ANYWAYS. I am really scared because I am 7 weeks now and debating on whether or not to get an abortion. We aren't financialy ready, we live with our parents, and still in college. He doesn't have a job, when I have one that pays little. I don't think I can support a baby right now emotionally or financialy right now. But I'm feeling bad for thinking of having an abortion. I just don't know the steps I should take to come to a decision on what to do. I also have not told my parents yet. But his mother knows and supports any decision we make. Since i have 2 older sister and an older brother I feel like I would be hurting everyone. Also because my sister is planning to get married THIS august. WHAT TO DO.

if you already know you are not ready i think you know wut to do...but you can always just have the baby and then put it in adoption but thats even harder then anything.... your boyfriend does not have a job and how the world is right now its pretty hard to even get one.... i know its hard to do.... but gettin an abortion might be it for you...some people can do it some cant.... i am in the same spot as you i am pregnant and not sure if i should keep it or get an abortion. no one wants to get an abortion but sometimes that is the best thing to do. if you need money i think its better of with his mom then yours if you are worried bout your family being upset with you....

you should put ur baby up fo adoption.. its for the best. an abotion can cause problems after from what ive heard physically and emotionally, but u have to choice quick becuase the longer u wait the harder it gets.

Try making a list of pros and cons. Ask family members or close friends what they would do in your position and why. Gather up as much information as you can on all your options; Keeping your baby, terminating your pregnancy, or giving your baby up for adoption. Ask someone who has kids what having a child is like, how much it costs, the daily struggles etc. This decision is not going to be easy no matter what it is. The best you can do is gain all the knowledge you can and make your decision based on that. No one *wants* to have an abortion, and you'd probably be either heartless or in denial if you weren't sad about it. But, having an abortion doesn't make you a bad person (despite what others may think) Take your time making this decision because it's a huge one. You have about 4 more weeks before your window to have an abortion is closed. Good luck.
