Scared, Sleepless, and Sacrificing

I am only seven weeks pregnant and it still hasn't kicked in yet. My boyfriend and I found out together after my period was a few days late. At first he was very supportive emotionally and even told me that he would support me if I chose to keep it. I have never supported abortion so in my mind... in nine months we're going to be parents. Now, everything has changed. He doesn't want the baby and has told me many reasons why abortion would be the best choice for us. I fought him for weeks about it. I told him I would feel guilty for life if I abort our baby. Long story short I was so exhausted with the fighting and overwhelmed having no one to talk to that o agrees to do it. I have rescheduled the appointment twice and now the appointment is five hours away. I am so scared. I don't want to do this, but I also don't want to raise a baby alone while I am still in college. What should I do? I've been up all night.

You made the right choice in keeping your baby. I got pregnant at 17 and my bf at the time wanted me to get an abortion also because of his parents. I chose to keep my baby I'm now a proud mother of a wonderful 4 year old and expecting my second baby. This time around everything is different things are looking great. At first its hard but nothing is impossible and if your bf decides to leave it's his loss and you WILL be able to do it on your own. Your baby will give you all the strength you need trust me.
Blessings your way.

If your boyfriend doesn't support your decision, it's his loss anyway. No matter what he says you'll have a beautiful baby in within the next 7 or 8 months. Some people can't even have kids and you can. Just think of the positive things like that

I'm so glad you cancelled! You have to stick up for your baby even if no one else does. Baby's are blessings! I freaked out when I found out I was pregnant 7 weeks ago because I wanted to be married first. But you know what, I'm 23 with one semester of college left so I have faith that I will be a good Mom. I'll still get married, just after the baby. My Mom had me at 16. It was extremely hard but she raised me to be happy && confident with myself. I'm keeping my baby no matter what anyone else thinks. What's meant to be will be:)

I ended up canceling the appointment and I have decided to stick up for my baby. I have to be his or hers voice and I am prepared to do that.... telling my boyfriend that is going to be the difficult part. He just doesn't understand.
