This is your decision. You will be the mother. Not your family. I understand that it can be hard with little or no support from loved ones, but if you let them pressure you into aborting when you want the baby, it will cause so much resentment and tension anyway. This is your body, this is your future, you cannot let your family make this decision for you. Do what you feel is best for you.

I know exactly what predicament you're in. I was 19 when I fell pregnant with my daughter, I was called all kinds of names and I went to the abortion clinic but 1) they couldn't do anything because I was so upset so they refused me and 2) on their scanning machine there was no baby that showed up and I was 9 weeks along. To this day I believe she was hiding because I was meant to have her. She showed up at 15 weeks and her daddy and I were thrilled. We had her and one year later the 3 of us left everyone behind in South Africa and moved to Australia. I'm 22 now and we are expecting out 2nd baby. You need to do what you want to do, I stood up to my family and I'm super proud at myself for doing so. Good luck xx

Abortion is Never the answer. I say keep the baby you choose. That baby didn't choose to be inside you and your family didn't decide it. So why do they have a choice? Honestly I say if you personally didn't want the baby give them up but cuz you want the baby keep the baby!!!

Do what's best for the baby even if it means it's not the best for you. Will the baby have the kind of life he or she deserves?
