Feel free to message me whenever you like ! Dont feel as tho your lifes over bcos of a baby. You can still work and go to schooool, yes sometimes a partner decides not to stick around if they dont agree w/ your choice, but you deserve someone whos gona stick by you no matter what !
But dont feel as tho anyone on this post is pushing you to keep it, we are just trying to offer our opinion / advice !

Hi sweety, its ok to be scared, have doubts, or change of heart. Whatever decision u make just make sure your 100% sure its ur decision. I dont now or ever would i judge someone for a decision they made based on whats best for their life and future. Don't let anyone alter ur thoughts on what ur leaning torwards. Im sure ur a bright grl and know the pros n cons of abortion,  adoption,  or even just keeping the baby so im not going to sit here and tell u things u already know.  What i would suggest is taking sometime to urself and thinking hard on why u want to abort and also whats made u have doubts.  Whichever has a greater outcome than stick with that choice and never second guess it. Dont live ur life in "what if"...


If u ever need someone to listen to u or talk to im willing.  Good luck hun.

I personally believe that if a woman becomes pregnant, then that baby is ment to be born. If you are having doubt now, then that may be a sign that you are susposed to have this child.
Only you can make the decision thats best for you. Some woman can have an abortion and it dont effect them at all emotionally and other woman have an abortion and they become severely depressed over it. If you are having doubts and are thinking about keeping the baby and it may just be that your already starting to fall in love with the child.

I am 18 years old, and when i found out i was pregnant i was so scared but within a week of finding out, my baby had turned into my whole world. I found out when i was 5 weeks along, i am now almost 24 weeks pregnant and sometimes i still get scared, nervous and wonder if i am going to be able to handle being a parent but i already love my child more than words can explain.
Every person is different, if you decide to keep the baby but later down the road decide you cant be a parent then theres always families that can not have children that would love to adopt your baby.

For a long time I never wanted kids and was happy that way.  All that changed the minute I saw my little baby on ultrasound with its little heart beating and i was in love right then but it wasn't meant to be....I began to have problems...I had more ultrasounds and with each ultrasound the heartbeat was slower and slower until finally on the last it was gone and my little baby had died.  I had to have a d&c to remove my baby.  Even though there was nothing I could do to save my baby I still feel the loss to this day.  Its something you never forget. You have a choice. The decision is yours don't let anyone make it for you.  If you want to keep your baby do it.  You are a lot stronger than you think.  Good luck to you.
