confused about pregnancy

Im 21 years old and i just found out that im pregnant. I have a full time job working in a pharmacy and I only have 2 more classes to finish in order to get my Associates degree. I took a test at home and went to the hospital,yet im still in denial. My boyfriend has been very supportive through all of this and would like for me to keep the baby, but i am very scared. He is the complete opposite. Hes very happy. Smh. I want to keep the baby, but Im afraid of how our families are going to react. That is my biggest concern at this point. Please help!!!!!! Its all i think about all day long!!!!

I am 17 and having a baby... And also been on the Abortion side of the scale too, and had a miscarriage.
Your family will understand you're 21 yrs old.. and by the sounds of things responsible too.... I suggest talking to your family, if you're happy, then they should be too!

Why are you in denial? Just be upfront with your family. Honestly, they'll either accept it or not speak to you again, and it's unlikely to be the latter. Don't let them or anyone discourage you. Just take things one day at a time now, and handle everything as it comes.

I was in a similar situation when I was only 21. My advice is; Keep a positive attittude, open you arms to love, and let love guide you! My daughter is now 12 years old and let me tell you how kool it is being a young mom to her! If you only have 2 classes left for you AA, you got it made! don't worry my dear, you are a smart girl with a great supportive boyfriend! What ever you do, it will be a learning experience for you. Make every day count! Let love guide you...... God luck! ;)
