really dont know what to do ? :\

Hey ladies so I am 18 & pregnant, thought I had my pregnancy all figured out until my family budged in. Their pressuring me to get an abortion or else,but I REALLY don't want to do that I personally don't believe in abortions but its like they will not support me if I don't choose what they want... I really need some good advice? because this is the shittiest situation I've ever been in.

I still get tears in my eye when I think about this I didn't support my sis & instead I suggest to her to have an abortion because she was too young at that time. It's been 10 years & I still have the guilt & makes me cry sometimes coz now I'm about to have baby #2 & she still hasn't gotten pregnant & she would love to be a mom now she have  a
career & old enough...& I know she still cry & if I can take the time back I would.... Follow ur heart hun don't do something that u will regret for the rest of ur life....

I had an abortion last year due to a failing, violent marriage and just as these other women are suggesting... don't do it for anyone else. You'll regret it and live with the guilt while your parents just get to brush it under the rug as of nothing happened. Not to mention, once the child is born they will more than likely fall in love with it anyway - its THEIR grandchild. When I got pregnant at 18 my mom told me she as "too young" to be a grandma (for the record, she was 51). I was heartbroken. My son is now 5 and my mom is his best friend. And I'm pregnant again! Good luck!!

K I'm going to be real with ya cause this is a sensitive subject for you honey but I want you to know if anything else you have suport here on medhelp but honey don't let family,friend who ever tell you you have to get an abortion I speak from personal knowledge that if you abort this baby other than your own reasons you will regret it and you will always be wondering the what ifs I thought I had no other choice than to listen and obey/follow what my family,the ones who are supose to love you rules but I learned later on that it was the biggest mistake I ever made I mean ya its going to be hard and rough and you will have a baby and child but look all all you gain as well my belief now is my baby,my body,my choice and don't let anyone tell you different and there is help put there for young moms just have to do some calling around
And your family may be a little mad,angry and upset but they'll get over it sooner or later and find out that that baby is a precious gift
If you need anyone to talk to you can talk to anyone of us any other question please don't hesitate to ask we are all here to suport one another

My mothers mom made her have one at 16 she never forgave herself.... And to this day told us its the worst thing she has done in her life...

If your parents thinks its okay and practically forcing you to get one by pressuring you then obviously they don't have your best interest at heart. They do not have to live with it. You do. It's your choice. .

Also, don't do it because you are afraid you cant support the child without them. There is a lot of government help for younge mothers and single moms. Housing etc,

If you decide that you will not go trough it maybe it will show your parents you ARE mature enough to be a parent and make the best choices for YOUR child.


And last but not least. If you do get an abortion we are here for support...

I got pregnant at 18 and my parents were very disapointd n negative but they never presured me to abort the baby. Thats very wrong of them.its completely your choice and if you get an abortion when you dont realy want to u might feel guilty and regret it 4life. My parents nw love my 2yo toddler and he adores his nany n pop. They my come round to the idea after awhile just remember its not up to them its ur choice
