Just found out.

I just found out I was pregnant,  nurse says 9 weeks. My bf said that this will be an inconvenience on us both.  How should I handle it? I look at the abortion sites and it just makes me sad and scared of the pain.

I don't have any personal experience with this situation. Even though my baby wasn't planned, my partner is so excited about having a daughter. Though at first he was shocked and maybe not as excited. Since he saw our daughter on the scan for the first time he has been so looking forward to being a dad.
Have you and your boyfriend been together a long time? Is it a serious relationship? If it isn't then you should probably just think about what is best for you and baby, and ask your family if they will help to support you through your pregnancy. Emotionally and maybe financially if you need the help.
If it is a serious relationship then sit him down and talk to him about it. Show him abortion websites, maybe go on the abortion forum on this site and talk to some women who have been through it. Maybe he will come around and see it isn't a simple procedure that won't affect you psychologically.
If you both decide you can't raise this baby then seriously consider adoption. Find an adoption agency and speak to someone there and find out what your options are. They have open and semi-open adoptions where you can still have contact with your baby, and be a part of their life.
Best of luck to you in whatever you decide

You don't need his support he'll get over it or he'll leave. Men aren't like women they aren't as strong at handling tough situations. That's why they say it takes a boy to get a girl pregnant but it takes a man to be a dad. Do what you feel is best. I had an abortion in 2010 and I don't regret it bit I still wonder all the time what would've been and it makes me sad but it was my choice an I'll stand by it. But a lot of women regret it. Don't listen to him tell your family you need a strong support system not one person telling you negative things.

Make the decision based on what YOU want not what he wants.  Sounds like you would have baby if he was supportive.  Hopefully you can get that support from family & friends.

It sounds like it'll inconvenience him more than you since he said that. If abortion doesn't sound like an option you can always look into adoption.

I would consider adoption strongly before deciding about an abortion. Adoption is a great way to bless a woman who can't have her own baby.

And in some places you can only have an abortion up until so many weeks. If that is what you do decide you may want to check that

If you dont feel its an inconvience, keep your child. only have the abortion if thats what you feel is right. its your body and decision not his. you have to live with what you choose and not him but also know there are more options besides abortion. There is adoption. Just be careful.
