You should definitely seek a crisis pregnancy center like Matrix or Lifecare Services. I used volunteer at one in college and they are such wonderful people! They truly help young mothers who are abortion minded. They provide a free ultrasound and all the tools and resources you need to carry out you pregnancy. They follow many their clients even through the first five years of the child's life. Many relationships end after an abortion so don't let that be the deciding factor in a life altering matter. Hope this helps

I think your sign is the fact your having some sort of doubt about going thru with it. No matter what you choose, your boyfriend should be by your side supporting you.
In the end, anything we all tell you is our personal opinions.. you need to do whats best for YOU. You can listen to what we say, your family or bf says, but ultimately its YOUR body, YOUR decision. Your the one whos gona live with whatever you choose.
Just know there are other options, besides terminating..as others have mentioned. Good luck with whatever you choose, I sincerely hope everything works out. xx

If you are having doubts, then you shouldn't go through with it.  You shouldn't lose your john because of pregnancy and you can still complete college.  It might take a little longer and some creativity to get it done but you can do it.  If your boyfriend won't forgive you our try to understand how you are feeling than he's not the right one for you.  Love is unconditional, all forgiving.  You wil have rough times ahead but it wil all be worth it.  I just think that you are having doubts for a reason and this baby beat alot of odds to be conceived.  Give it alot of thought and soul searching before you decide because once it's done there is no turning back

You could consider open adoption. That way you someone who wants a baby will get one and you can still see your baby. That way you still have college, family, boyfriend, and you can still see your baby. Research online about all of your options before you make your decision.
