Hello ladies, I really need your support. So as you all know I am pregnant (about 5 weeks). My child's father and I have been together off and on for about 2 years now. Neither of our parents seem to be happy about this pregnancy mainly because he's unstable financially and wasn't the best boyfriend to me. He already has a 4 year that he's barely taking care of. Yes, this wasn't the smartest thing to do but I need to make a decision. They are basically telling me to have an abortion(yikes). I'm so torn. I need your opinions and help here.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. & remember, if its an option there are always wonderful people out there who can't have kids.
@ar.graley, I two aunts who can't so I definitely understand that and I appreciate your advice
Don't let anyone pressure you into it. It's your decision but, I wouldn't. I know that would tear me up inside. My boyfriend is about to turn 18 in April and I'm 19. It's hard but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm proud to be able to have the ability to carry a child and give birth. Women would kill to be able to do what we are doing. Babies are precious blessings.
My family told me the same thing. They pushed it so much it was ridicules. Just think about it very well bcusss my aunt who bcusss of my family had an abortion regrets it so much and she was in the same situation you are. Just keep in mind that Babies are a blessing they can change your life for ever and make you a better person. &You; know you have plenty of support on here.
My boyfriend & I were only together 4 months when I found I was pregnant. Things were extremely tough on us still learning about one another but in the end it's made us stronger & who we are today. We thought about abortion for 2 seconds because we were still getting to know one another & we even talked about adoption but we both realized we are adults & love one another so we kept the baby.
& I'm so glad we did because our son is our universe 💕💕 trust me you'll fall so deep in love once you hear the heart beat & see the little bean of a baby on that screen. Its tough but so worth it.
I've actually had an abortion... I didn't want it but it was something I had to do because I was a minor and I need a place to stay. My mom made me. I regret that day... There isn't a day in my life I don't think about it. Please don't do it. Save your self the hurt in the future because it never goes away. I'm happy to say that I have a baby girl in the way.. She's our everything.
thanks @manina4 I'm religious so yes abortion is a hard thought for me because I know God makes no mistakes. It just hurt my soul that the grandparents are acting like that.
It's your decision n I don't know if ur religious or not but I know that God makes a way when u do what's right. N from my own experience the grandparents were disappointed at first but once they c that baby they'll fall in love. If u choose to keep it, just know that u gonna have to work really hard to make a good life for u guys but it is possible. N it's very worth it! Good luck!
my family was the same way but I think that if abortion is done it should be under rare circumstances I told them that I'd put him up for adoption before the first option but I'm keeping him he's my world if your family loves you they will except your choices
You're welcome! Remember we are here for u to talk to anytimeeee
Whether your boyfriend is a good father or not should have nothing to do with your decision with keeping your baby or not. It might be tough. Motherhood is never easy but plZ be strong and don't make a decision you will regret. You're 26 so old enough to make a wise decision on your own and support your baby. Focus on your pregnanxy . Your family will adore the baby once he/she is here
thanks @rosy and @uhmandaxconrad92 I will, you guys are very supportive and sometimes we all need this type of support. :-)
I'm glad I can help...you can do it babygirl!!!!* I'm cheering you on here in South Carolina!!! Hope you stay on here and share your story! (:
its not the babies fault. take care of ur own action u dnt need a man to take care of the baby hopefully u have the support of ur fam
Sorry so many mistakes but I'm sure you can figure it out :/
I personally would not get an abortion but I do not frown upon others when they make that decision. I am a religious person so I believe that god blesse you with that little baby for a reason. And only he know that reason. I'm not going to lie it crossed my mind when I wa pregnant with my 5 yer old and it kills me to look at how beautiful and amazing she is and think back to when I once thought about abortion. She had changed my life for the better and makes me who I am today. Without her I would have nothing and she will always love Mennonites what. You will never be alone again ya know. I hope you make the best decision honey just take your time and think. Being a mother is not as bad as people put it out to be it's honestly easy as pie if you ask me and I done it allll alone. Not to mention she was born with half of a heart and was feeding tube fed until she was almost 2 years old. It's a challenge but very rewarding!!!
Thank you all so much! I literally cried all day yesterday. @mrsgorgeous890915 I agree that an abortion is not a form of birth control and I feel like we both knew there was a possibility this could happen. we were playing Russian roulette and now we are here. To everyone else I'm mostly excited but scared at the same time. I hold my own financially, it's having that support. I really appreciate you all taking the time out to assure me that everything will be ok. I have my first sonogram on March 19th.
so true, my mom eventually got over it because i was an adult n i held my own wit my daughter but the attachment come when u find out, the connection when u hear the heartbeat n emotionally attached when u see them on the screen...ive been attached to my baby since i was 7wks @madiskinny & @californiahaley
When I first told my father I was pregnant he asked when I was getting an abortion I said I wasn't he didn't want me "throwing my life away like he did and there was plenty of time for kids later" we didn't speak most of y pregnancy. Now he loves my son. Can't stop telling people about him. He was there when I have birth and was one of the first people to come in the room to see my son less the. 30 minutes after he was born. Keep in mind I was married when I told him and he loves my husband and still reacted how he did but he changed quickly
Listen to the little voice inside of you! My boyfriend and I were together for one month before we found out I was pregnant. It was scary because we hadn't known each other long but we both felt everything happens for a reason and we decided to keep our baby. It gets hard sometimes because we're still learning about each other while dealing with the pressures of pregnancy and the added issues of hormones but the journey has been totally worth it and I can't wait for our son to get here!!
i understand what youre going through but the child was not asked 2b here (as we kno) but at some-point u have to take responsibility of what was done n do as such by acting as an adult, i dont condone abortion (certain circumstances) but abortions shouldnt b used as a birth control method either n theres alot of backlash when u choose to get an abortion. u have to think logics n not off emotions @nisha13
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

so yes ima go hard in the comments bec...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Share your son's names ?
So im due in 8ish weeks with a little boy but we cant find a name that we both love so please ladies comment your boys' names ! I need some inspiration ??
Have any of you ladies tried the fruit roll up on your s/o? My friends keep telling me about it but I haven't done it I kinda feel lame oh well 😭😂😭😭😭😭!!!!

Not to mention this one over someone politely commenting that you had your years mixed up and provided proof. 🤔
Do I need to continue?
That's very true
