abortion or keep baby

[hnicole6]

Hello, I am about 10.5 weeks pregnant and I am highly debating whether to keep the baby or abort. I could not give me baby up for adoption and know someone else is raising my child so abortion and raising the baby are my two optionas. I am 20 yrs old and have been with my bf for almost 4 yrs.  I am scared to lose my youth and be tied down but I don't know if I could live with myself if I got rid of it. My bf says its my decision and is not much help in deciding....help! Any suggestions? ??

What website was everyone talking about? I have an appt on the 23rd but I hate waiting that long for an ultrasound I really want to try and get one now so that I can see how far along I am and if its too late to decide or not.and I am leaning towards keeping it, but I just freak myself out thinking that ill be stuck ahh this is so hard .I hope I never have to make this decision again because I never planned on this happening because I was on the pill and took it everyday like I was supposed to...

im 20 years old too=) im currently 14w2d and already have 2 kids a 3year old and a 18 month old. when i first got pregnant i felt like you did, i didnt want someone else raising my child and i didnt want to abort my baby not only that but when i found out i was pregnant i was 10 weeks along already and when i had my ultrasound i just knew i could not give up on my baby so i did keep him. i also known girls who got abortions and they all regret having them a month or so after having it and they got depressed for it. if he tells you its your choice then keep the baby. to me it sounds like he will be with you no matter what your choice is but thats what it sounds like to me. i know alot of young mothers where i live and they kept their babies too and even though it migh be hard its so worth having a child. you can still have fun if you can find a baby sitter that could baby sit for you hun. i think you would be a great mom because it does sound like you care alot so my suggestion is dont abort your baby keep it, i just know you will be a great mother=).

Hi everyone -

Please remember this is a support site, and if your personal feelings about abortion render you incapable of offering support, then it's probably better for you to not respond at all to abortion questions. This is obviously a hard time for hnicole6, and we are here to help her, not hurt her.

My experience, me and my partner had only been together 6 months, I was on the pill, we didn't live together etc, then we found out I was pregnant by 7 weeks, we were so shocked, we had q chat and decided that we couldn't bring a baby into the world at that point, I had an abortion at 9 weeks. That is the worst and most biggest mistake we made and theres not q day goes by when I don't think about it, I hate myself for it, me and my partner got through it but it made me depressed for q very long time, we have been together for nearly 3 yrs now and. We starting trying for a baby in may last year and here we are expecting a baby girl in 8 days, we are so excited, please don't make the mistake we made I know it's ur decision but its a very traumatic and horrible thing to go through, ul make a lovely mummy and daddy, just think it may never happen again

Please have your little angel. I'm 23 and I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant with twins!! I was in the same position you was in when I first found out I was pregnant. It made me so depressed. I made an appointment to have an abortion but I didn't go. Instead I made a prenatal appointment and when I found out I was not only carrying one but two I was so scared but happy and relieved that I've decided not to abort. You won't be tired down of you do decided to have tired baby. You're still young and have time to go back to school go out with friends whatever it is you want to do while caring and loving your bundle of joy. Good luck .. You'll be a great mom :-)

Wow, please don't go to that website. A post like that is uncalled for.
