Pregnant and depressed

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and suddenly suffering from depression, I think it's because of my babies father being so hard on me. I'm 25 and he is 27 when I found out I was pregnant I told him right away and he kept pushing for me to get an abortion. I told him absolutely not and he told me he didn't want an f***** child, he hated children, and he wasn't ready. I didn't talk to him for a while then he called me and asked me to come see him, and said that he doesn't want to kill our baby that he wants it, he's just scared to tell his mom because she will disown him for not being married. Now he is pushing abortion again and calls me daily to press the subject. He's keeping me stressed and depressed. I broke up with him yesterday but he won't let me be, he said he doesn't want to break up and if I had a abortion it would bring us closer and we could try again after we got married. He's crazy, and I don't know what to do. :/

I believe that it's your choice to keep or abort.... Yes it's his too, but currently it's ur body playing host. Do u have a supportive network? Grab everyone together and talk it through, or just one close mate/relative. I understand the nor being married issue it can cause major drama in some families and cultures but it's too late now. Whatever you decide, I hope you are happy in your future :)

I lnow i slightly contradict myself but im a love is reslient type of person. I dont like the blunt "leave him" because love and the heart just doesnt work like that. Ur heart will twll u when u had enough of him where u wouldnt even question it... or even feel depressed because then it will make sense. Just take sone time away from him. Because he seriously needs time to think. But since u are deciding to keep his child talking to him eventually is inevitable. Its too early for drastic decisions. Dont stress. Take it one day at a time.

He sounds a bit unstable when it comes to the issue.
Yet, do you think he will be a good father in time? Its like sometimes i think men are like crabs they are hard on the outside and complete soft on the in you know. Or that act one way but really have completely different intentions or feelings.
Like he saying all this sh** but u know him better than any of us. Do u think he will be a danger to ur child?
That back and fourth **** will **** me off. So u do as u please when it comes to keeping the baby. But yea provide some space. Let him speak to your answer machine and just listen to him. A guy will show himself through his words and actions.

He is just really confused. If he loves u like he says he does he would make it work w. The dynamic of it being you him and the baby.

Wow! I would be afraid to go anywhere near him. I don't know him or you but you're both adults and not teenagers. Too many women are murdered or dangerously hurt by their partners who are adamant that they do not want the child. Run! And be sure to tell someone just in case something does happen.
