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.

*pays child support. Sorry on my cell phone and auto correct is stupid. I really hope you don't let anyone pressure you into something you don't want for you or your baby.

Don't let anyone pressure you into doing something that you not only don't want but that you don't believe in. you will only wind up regretting it and it will eat at you. There are plenty of resources that can help you even if the father won't. Those same resources will also help you in making sure that he Paris child support even if he won't be a real man and be there as a father for your child. Your family needs to understand your decision. I got pregnant for the first time at 17. I left home and eventually my family came to understand my choices and things are great between us now. Your family is important but that baby is a higher level of family right now, you are all that he or she has. I hope that you are able to work things out and make the decision that YOU are happy with and can live with.

It is your body and if you want your baby now and you get rid of it just to keep people happy you will probably regret it for a long time.. It is your body and your baby and im sure its upsettin and scary but hopefully if u decide to keep it they will come around to th

Like the poster before my comment said there are different programs out there that can help you and your baby. I would sit down and have a serious conversation with your family and then go from there with your decision but I would'nt give your baby up because you will regret it for the rest of your lufe,.

Are they financially supporting you? If not, you are 18 so legally they cannot force you to do anything. But if they are supporting you then they do have a right to be upset.

U are 18 right?  Its ur baby and they have no say so.  There are plenty of resources so you can get help with housing food etc and daycare after the baby is born. Yoy can contact family services catholic charities or a hope center if ur community has one. Also make sure you hit the dad up for child support, you didn't make this baby urself. Don't let anyone push u into an abortion, you will regret it and never forgive yourself.  Your a mom now so protecting that little one is your job.  Best of luck to hope it all works out.
