others opinions

I'm 21 years old, I have a steady job and a paid off car so I am some what established in my life. I am a month pregnant.friends and family keep suggesting abortion. I'm totally against it. Do you think I'm to young or can't handle it? I know others have to be in the same situation at one point. I just couldn't imagine not meeting my first child.

I just turned 21 and I was so ready to be a mommy. I have a steady job and so does my fiance, I'm a nurse and he does construction so we both make decent money. We have live on our own for over a year and we would have never even questioned an abortion. If you think you can make it I'm sure you can! Keep your head up and do what you think is best not what everyone else is telling you to do.

Sounds like you're more established than some older adults having children. This will be one lucky baby! :)

Thank you ladys. I never planned on abortion I just needed opinion from others who have been through it or going through it. I know I can do it! I've even met a new Co worker who has offered to help me with some much baby things! I'm getting excited

I am 21 with a 6 month old daughter and 9 weeks pregnant with my second child. I got pregnant with my daughter at 19 and my car is paid off but I got fired from my job as soon as I found out. And haven't worked since because I was looking for jobs and found out I was pregnant again. So all the support comes from my husband, but don't kill your baby you can do it!

I was 19 with no car a part time job and no partner and i did it I'm now a mum or a beautiful almost 4 year old boy i have a nice rental home and i own my own car iv found a loving partner who loves not only me but my son as well and also has two sons of his own. I was pressured to abort or adopt my child but neither where ever an option in my mind. You can do this and you can do it fantastically

I am 21 and 29 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. I have a 9 month old daughter and it is hard at times. But I couldn't imagine my life without them. Of course in the "perfect world" ppl would prefer for you 2 wait and finish school and enjoy ur life etc but things don't always go as planned. As long as ur willing to do the work u'll be fine.

Im 21 and from the sounds of it im alot less established than you. My fiancé and I had no intention of getting pregnant but here we are doing on 26weeks and I couldn't imagine our lives any other way. I wild never have considered abortion based on others opinions.  Do what is right for you and baby, not what everyone else thinks is right.

I am also 21 I'm in my last semester in college and I have two jobs. I wouldn't abort this baby not even when I first found out even though it was a decision I had to make.i couldn't imagine not have my child I'm 5 months pregnant now. If you feel strongly about it you should keep your baby if you personally don't think you can handle it then you do what's best for you that's what it all comes down to.
