what should i do? i dont wanna get judged either...

I know its not confirmed yet but there is a pretty good chance that I am pregnant!! There's one problem... I'm 15, still in school (year 11). I do not agree with abortion and it breaks my heart to think of it but my friends are saying that its the best thing! This has confused me because as much as I disagree with abortion, I also have planned my future like with college and uni so I can become a midwife... Having a child this young may distract me from my plans so all I'm asking is what would you do in my position?? And would you be scared about getting judged??xxxx

Omg wow, thanks everyone that's all amazing comments and have made me think about finnishing school with a child isn't that bad after all. I live in the UK and finish school no long after the baby is due anyway so there's not exactly a major deal xxx

I had my son at 17 and even though it was hard, I graduated high school. Then I ended up being a single mom when he was 2. When he started school so did I. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I did it. If your do not believe in abortion, do not let anyone push you into it. There's alway adoption. There are alot of women out there who can not have children for many reasons. It is a hard decision, but it's your decision. The only other person you should make sure has a say is the father. It's his baby too. I wish you the best of luck. Remember anything is possible if you put your mind to it and don't give up.

I had my son when I was 16. It has not been easy but these have been the best years of my life. It was scary at first but if you are determined you can make it work. Never let anyone tell you that you will not be a good mom because you are young. Think hard and pray hard and do what YOU feel is best for you and your baby.

I'm 18 still in high school and four of my friends had a baby this past year they all thought about what you are thinking about but in the end when they saw that adorable little child for the first time they fell in love and yes they were all scared and extremely worried people would judge and now they bring there kid in to see them and everybody loves them all of them said becoming a mother was the best thing that ever happened to them and I promise you will change your mind about your life more times than you can imagine so keep your eyes open to the big picture and just think of all the joy and great lessons of having a kid will bring you BUT FIRST TELL YOUR PARENTS they are the best people to talk to and listen to you cause if they love you they will guide you on the right path

I was once in your shoes. I found out at 15 a month away from 16 that I was pregnant. My mom and dad didn't want me to have the baby there decision was abortion only and I didn't have a say so. But I did like the other lady said you made an adult decision to have sex so you have to make the adult decision now. I couldn't do it abortion that is and I thought about my future allot and my dreams, but to me that child was more important. So in my case I kept him. I am now 27yrs old and he is 10 and I wouldn't change it for the world. Although I didn't finish high school 2009 I got my GED. But when I was 17yrs old I went and got my certification for CNA and shortly after got CPR certified. Now I am married with another lil boy that's 2 in a half and I've had 2 miscarriages before and after him. But if you feel like a child would be to much I would def go for adoption. There's plenty of women out there that can't have children and desperately want them. My sister being one! But there's advantages in addition also like if you want to keep in contact with the child they have open adoptions and if not they have closed adoptions. Just a few things to think about. Oh and yes I got judged allot but like I said it was my decision my choice so I handled my responsibility. I was scared out of my mind but my choice and love hook dearly and have enjoyed our happy sad ups and downs and being a mother completely! Def talk to your parents ASAP they are the first ones you need to go to. Good luck I'll keep you in my prayers. If you have any questions feel free to email me ***@****

I think you should talk to your parents. As that is a huge decision. Also perhaps adoption is a way better solution than abortion. Since that is unfair to your unborn baby since. You made a decision to have sex, which is an adult decision. Then you have to face the adult consiquence. Also discuss birthcontrol methods with a doctor.

Adoption would be a great option!  I know I am glad my birth mom chose it and not abortion!
