Decision to keep or abort

Hi,

I am a 24 year old girl who is currently working as a law clerk and have just enrolled in my law degree by correspondence.  I have fallen pregnant i am nearly 12 weeks and i have been very stressed and sick with worry as to what i do with the baby. I am in a relationship with a guy for only a year but my ex still wont leave me alone which causes stress on the relationship. I have just brought my first house about a year ago with my twin sister and thats where i live now. If i choose to have the baby i will have to move out of home.

I am scared of what my future holds and dont want to be a failure to my family.

My nan thinks i am not ready for baby and has always wanted me to succeed in my career.

My mum and dad support whatever decision so does the father of the baby.  I am just scared of everything.

Please help.

THANK YOU MO41486!!!!!!  And Danielle, you have nothing to feel bad about.  This is a public forum and is based on people's experiences and opinions.  We all know that coming onto this forum!!!  If we don't get passionate about our babies, what should we be passionate about??  That is the thing in my life that I am the most passionate about!!

As Joy said this lady has already made her decision to keep the baby.  She has a new post titled "DECISION".

Law I understand what kind of situation you are in, and its very difficult to make this decision by yourself and have no support. You are 24 though and an adult. You can do it. I know it looks hard now. I am also currently pregnant and trying to attend school for a bachelor's degree.
It isn't impossible to be able to do both, you can summon the strength deep down inside that you don't even know you have.
If you have to move, then so be it. You can do it girl! People juggle both, even though the first year is difficult. You will get help with babysitting. Contact your local Social Services, let them know your situation, perhaps even some support groups or councling will help you. If only for the support that you need right now. I'm not gonna lie, it will put stress on you relationship and school life, but you will get through it. Mom and dad will help out! I hope all goes well for you, please give us some updates to how you are doing. *Hugz* everything will be alright.

I think you are 24 and an adult!!! And for heavens sake, 12 weeks pregnant!! You have a half developed child in there.  

SO PLEASE HAVE YOUR BABY...you are going to love the baby once they are here.  If not, you can put up your baby for adoption....there are sOOOOO many parents out there who would love to have a baby in their lives.

Guys, she already decided to keep the baby. I believe she titled that post "Decision" if you want to take a look-sy. Let's not get in a fight about how we addressed this and just remember to be sweet next time around. There will always be someone questioning what to do!

Just because somone is pro life doesn't make them miserable in their lives!  I'm 100% pro life and not at all miserable.  And just because these woman want an innocent little baby to be able to have a chance at life doesn't make them miserable.  Yes, it is her decision to make, but she came onto this forum and asked for our help/opinions and that's what we gave her!!
