I used protection. I didnt use it right apparently. But its whatever I think I have made up my mind. The babys biological dad supports me and some of you support my decision as well. Him and I are going to talk a little more and make up our minds but you were right. Its my decision. Not anyone elses. Will message when we come to a decision.

You can do it if you really apply yourself. Just sounds like you're giving up. There are a lot of programs that help moms go to school and accomplish their dreams if you actually try to apply yourself you can do it. If not you should consider adoption or if you actually have an abortion next time you have sex use protection if you're not ready for the consequences.

Yes you can still go to any college with a child. It's called tuition and grants. you'd be surprised how many grants there are for mothers. however, don't think abortion is your only option. start by calling the colleges you're interested in and asking them about how they help young moms achieve their goals. there is always open adoption. it is my personal belief that if you lay down, with or without protection you take that risk and need to be held responsible for that. but, as a medical professional it is my medical opinion that no one can tell you what to do with your body, just educate you on your choices. why don't you 1. call the schools and look up financial aid and "single mother" "teen mother" grants. 2. look up information about your baby in utero for your current week, it will help you make an informed educated decision.

3. have you told your family? if not, do so asap.

4. look up verified, safe, open adoption agencies in your area as a back up plan.

Sorry, but in my opinion abortion is the easy way out when not medically necessary. My cousin got pregnant at 17. still in high school. well she kept my sweet little Kennedy, graduated early at the top of her class and has put herself through college and is now on her way to becoming a surgery assistant nurse (not sure the correct term) I know my opinion will maybe start a debate but I don't care. Abortion is murder. Period. I promise if you WANT to then you can graduate and still go to school while raising a child. and even if you would rather not raise a child so young, then there is always adoption! That baby did not ask to be here..

@rhia, thanks..

you gotta do whats right for you. You are gonna get a million different opinions but in the end you gotta choose what you wanna do and dont give af. what anyone thinks about what you have decided.

@teenmommytobe, Sweetie...as your pregnancy progresses, you will find yourself attached to that tiny little human...I feel like my daughter was the best thing to ever happen to my life at that time, looking back on it. Fear is normal and its to be expected! But I promise, the life of your child is worth it. Please choose life - even if you choose adoption. There are SO SO many women who would love to have that baby. So many women can't have children and would gladly take the child and raise it up as their own. It's not gonna be an easy road, but you CAN do it if you want to raise him/her. I am 32 this coming Friday, and I am now a mom of four - almost five - after I swore I would only have that one child 16 years ago. It's funny how life has a way of working itself out ☺

@teenmommytobe, just think about it and if you choose to do what ever it is you want I just wouldn't post it so your don't get the comment that make you feel worse then you probably already do! if you need someone to talk to about it just message me! good luck sweet heart

your gonna have alot of debate on this.. I'll be honest I'm a "baby killer" as they call people who get them. but I was a junior in high school knee my now husband 2 months and had just got accepted to cosmo school for the next year so I choose school over having a baby... granted I had just turned 17 yes I did know what I was doing and yes sometimes I regret what I did BUT at the same time I don't because I graduated high school, did cosmo my senior year and I don't think my husband and I would still be together if we had a child that young. all in all its up to YOU to make that choice NOT what anyone else thinks or says...

I owned up to what I had done, put on my big girl panties, and as scared as I was, I dealt with the cards that were thrown at me. I know you can do it. Please, please, PLEASE think about other options before you make a life altering decision that may leave you feeling guilty for the rest of your days. There are other options. xo

@sarahemccormick, im scared and with me graduating in less than eleven months i dont want it growing up asking why i didnt want it. i dont want it to feel like i do. ):

honestly the best thing to do is adoption. you may even change your mind throughout the pregnancy.

what about adoption?
