Hi there dear.  Well, I think what you have to do in a situation like this is to really think about what would be best for you.  Thank goodness we live in a country with options.  And you have a few to consider.  I'd take out a pen and paper and really think about this with pros and cons.  

Your first option is abortion.  This is a good option for women that do not desire to have a child at this time for whatever reason.  Abortion is legal and can be the best choice for someone not in position or who doesn't have the desire to raise a baby/child.  It's an easy procedure and inexpensive and even, based on income, can be free.  Then when it is a better time in your life to start a family, you can have a baby.  

the second option is adoption which is a really beautiful choice and can be win win for all.  A family that has wanted a baby but can't have one gets that gift from you.  They have open adoptions these days so you can know what is going on with the baby or you can keep it a closed adoption as well.  But, you do have to carry the baby to term.

The third option is to have the baby and keep the child.  Now, babies are fantastic and I love my two sons to death!  However, one must be VERY practical when making this particular choice because there is much to consider when one has a child to raise.  Things like how to be financially independent eventually, giving up one's free time as most all of that goes to the kids, and that you will need lots of help form someone be it a parent or sibling or whomever to help what the child when you are at work or at school (as babysitting costs money).  Many a teen mom does it but it shouldn't be sugar coated that it is an easy road to take.  

All choices have pluses and minuses and you just need to think about which would be the very best for you.  Wishing you luck and I'm here if you have any questions or need to talk.  peace

If you go to www. option line. org you can find a pregnancy center in your area with counselors that can talk to you and/or your bf about your options and what would be best. Honestly, I think that every guys reaction at first is that they aren't ready to have a baby even I'd they already have other kids. You both created a life...if you guys really not ready then think about adoption....there are many many loving families who would do anything for a baby.

Just because the situation with the babies dad isn't great doesn't mean that you need an abortion. I know its scary to think about, but there are so many resources out there to help young moms regardless of what's going on
At five weeks that little babies heart is already beating, alive, fully human. No matter what decision you make, it will stay with you forever. There is so much support to help you with through the pregnancy, and support to help you either raise a baby or find a loving home to adopt it. Don't rush anything, take your time to talk to someone at a pregnancy center about your situation and what's available on your area. I've.met so many women who rushed into an abortion and regretted it their whole life.

Its all about if ur ready! At the end of the day it would b that will be respinsible for that child! Mommies baby daddys maybe ;-) If he is a good father to the other children thats a plus and also the relationship between you nd him matters! If hes not supportive to you and it was jus a fling then I would abort! It will save u a lot of unnecessary stress, regreat and heartace, But Act FAST! Good Luck!

My first borns biological donor had just recently add his fourth addition to his last of children.   All of them have different moms.  My daughter was his first and has never met her..  I love it that way.  Wouldn't change it for a anything.   She has a real father in her life.

just because he has two other baby mamas doesn't mean you need an abortion. If you can't keep the baby and you financially can't afford a child maybe but have you thought about adoption?
,I feel there's a lot more you need to consider Before abortion then just because he already has two baby mamas
