curious.

[akd2014]

Im 16 and I just wanna know does anybody think i should abort my because Im too young and not ready. I really wanna keep it and i am actually very excited about it. I just want a woman's opinion.

[2010afroro]

Its your body if you want it keep it if you dont then dont keep it. I got an abortion in 2011 bececause my boyfriend at the time didnt want it and i regret it sometimes i even told myself if i get pregnant again im keepin it and im pregnant again 4 months to be exact 17 weeks today due dec 29 the babys father is not involved but i have a new man who wants to step up n take care of it. All im sayin is any women can tell you anything but at the end of the day its your body and we can not tell you what to do with your body

To abort or not is a personal decision and sometimes the BEST decision for someone.  Thank goodness we live in a country where it is an option.  Women making difficult decisions regarding an unplanned pregnancy are supported here.

I can say for some, an abortion is the absolute best choice for them.  Some find adoption to be a good route.  And some go through the difficulties of having a baby when it's not the best time for them to do so, but they make it.  

It's up to each woman to make the best decision for themselves with whatever decision they make being valid.  peace

Don't do it. I'm 23 and I got pregnant when I was 17 and had an abortion. I regret it to this day. It led me into a very dark depression. Safe To say I hated myself for a long time. I never thought I would be able to get pregnant again because I felt like I wasn't worthy of being a mother. I am 6 weeks pregnant today And it is the best that has happened to me in my whole entire life. In the end it's up to you, But if you're excited about it don't let fear get in the way. We are women and we are capable of doing anything we put our minds to :)

Don't let anyone make you get an abortion my sister was 15 when she got pregnant and the boy told her get an abortion it's a goodthing she didn't because at 16 she was told it would be nearly impossible to have another child due to sists from birth control she's now 30 almost 31 got pregnant couple years ago and lost it still has only her 1child everything happens for a reason it maybe hard to be a single mother but woman are strong and can do it I have 2 kids oldest is 6 and I'm a single mother just turned 27 and pregnant with my 3rd it's hard but worth it and you can do it with or without help as long as u have determination goodluck

[Desi1121]

I dont agree with abortion at all... But to each their own. Adoption would be my.choice! If you cant keep the baby give.him/her to a family who could, im 18, married, and 16w pregnant. At first i wasnt sure because the timing was jus wrong and i thought of adoption, but as soon as i seen my baby on ultrasound i fell in love.... Do whatever you think is best. But if you do get.an abortion do it while your not far along... Its cruel after so far into your pregnancy. Good luck girl!!!

I am 37 and to my surprise am pregnant with my 6th child although I was shocked to find out that I would be having another child I would never in a million years ever think about aborting my child. I know you are young I was also young when I had my first I was only 17 and believe it or not I hid it from my family until I was 8 months. I was very scared I didn't know what to expect but after having my son I fell in love with him instantly and the mother instinct kicked in from day one. I now have 5 and one due in January and I love them all more than life itself. Please before you do something you will probably regret later in life research abortion really read up on it and watch the cruel videos of what really happens to these innocent precious lives. If you still feel that you are not ready to be a parent there are other options like adoption there are a lot of families that are unable to have children of there own that would love and care for your child. I hope I have helped you.

Sorry I'm late.. I was 16when I had my son.. my mother tried to make me abort him.. I didn't.. trust me its very hard to have a baby at a young age.. my son is now 8 n I have been a single mother his whole life..  do what you feel is right..

[shana18]

Hi, im 18 now and pregnant with my second child. My first i had when i was 15. I got looks and stares but i wouldnt of had it any other way. My parents were mad at first but soon they realized they couldnt do anything bout it. I married mu babys father at 16 and we are still happily married. Btw he was 20 when our first was born. Your bf wont go to jail, i promise. 16 is the age of consent, therefore unless you press charges or claim the sex was unconsential, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Dont let anyone decide for you. This is a decision you need to make. Good luck!!:)

[finallypegnantwithno2]

These are all lovely stories and hats off to all you young mums!
I was 21 when i fell pregnant with my first 22 when i had him, with my own place and bf.
Being a mum is awesome but it is HARD work. I mean tough going. You need support from everyone. If your boyfriend is screwing around going to jail and such like you don't need that rubbish whilst your pregnant.
All these people carried on with school etc with help. You need to talk to your mum.x

[Danijelasb]

Maybe adotion would be better.

[MakeshaLenee]

Well. I say just wait till you hear thr babies heartbeat. If you smile or become completely in love with your baby then you need to keep it.

[Makayla213]

I was 13 when I got pregnant and had my daughter at 14. I am now 17 will be 18 next month and I am 11 weeks and 4 days with my second. Don't abort. You will regret it later on.

[harlichance]

I got pregnant at 17 and had my son at 18. I wasnt ready at all to be a parent. I was on the birth control patch when i got pregnant. I was considering abortion at first but my fiance said no. I fell in love with him when i started feeling him move. I got a year behind in high school because i was on bedrest and screwing around before hand. I went back when he was 6 weeks and caught up in 5 months. My son was there when i graduated. Im very proud of that. And now im 21 and 36+2 and me and my fiance have full time jobs and our own place. We are very happy. Were proof you can succeed and be young parents. Were both 21. You can do it if you believe you can!

[maricellas]

I recommend u have the baby . Ur mom will love baby as soon as she sees her. I had mine first at 16 . And I dont regret at all. He was the best thing that happened to me. Good luck

[annat33]

I was 16 when I got pregnant. It was scary I didn't tell anyone in my family until I was 5 months. My mom also was angry with me and I thought she would be the one to understand. Well after she coolded down she was very helpful and suportive. I never thought of abortion or adoption suprisingly. It was hard cuz I was on my own dad wasn't involved so I had to get a job but I finished high school and I have no regrets. I'm married now to a good man and I'm going to have our third baby its a boy this time. If you really want the baby there are ways for you to get help to keep it. Some people won't support you friends and family but the people that do keep them close to you and you'll do just fine. :)

[sb5801]

I was 14 when i got pregnant, i was so lost and scared but i was so firm against an abortion. And really didnt want to give him up. My son is an active 12 year old now :-) I had wonderful support from my dad though. I even finished high school and graduated with my class mates. It all depends on your support because it will be challenging and emotional. It has to be in your heart what you want and how you want to live. My sister had her son at 17 did good for about three years then cheated on her husband and deserted her son for almost a year so he lived w me as well while she did her running around drinking and drugs. She finally is straighening up again but that experience i know she was too young, wanted to party and be young again. Make good choices for you and your baby. Good luck and god bless :-)

[akd2014]

Yeah; its a good feeling and i can't say this was a accident either but Im not changing my mind on keeping it. Im glad i have people that understand like you all and give me advice i need instead of bad advice about what i did.

[vrh123]

Im 17, married && on my second chiild. .
First was plannee but this wasnt. .
Avortion is not the answer.   Youu will regret it oncee youu do it, thats part of who aree.
No matter who is there for youu the rest of youur lifee, no matter who thibks its a mistake just think. . Youuuu will always have someone there for youu && better yet they will call youu mommmy.(:

[akd2014]

Its stuff like that, that makes me want my baby.  i apologize for your lost but Im very happy that you were blessed with two more. Im very excited about my pregnancy. Its just ill be 17 when my baby is due and my bf will be 23 ; i want him there and to sign the birth certificate but Im afraid he might go to jail.

[laurenda0728]

I got pregnant when I was 16  and then lost  it when I was three months and I also felt I wasn't ready and my family wanted me to abort I told them no when they found out I lost it they said that I wasn't ready and it was for the best but I felt they were wrong and a month after my miscarriage I got pregnant again and now I have a four year old and a three year old

[akd2014]

Thank you. Your advice was a big help too Im glad somebody understands; Im happy and i could never live with myself if i got one.

[dani125]

I'm only 17 but trust me do not get the abortion if you feel like you want it. Its not her decision and you should go with your instinct...it will hurt you in the long run and you will regret it. I'm nobody to tell you what to do but I'm hoping you trust my advice. No matter what anybody says you can do it! Don't let anybody tell you different. I had a friend get pregnant at 14 and made straight A's all through high school and she still does. Your family will eventually be supportive about it

[akd2014]

That's how i feel and Im very excited. I just hate that my mom feels its a mistake. Think you your advice really helped. I needed a older perspective.
