i just turned 22 and my birthday present was finding out I am 6 months pregnant. At this point I am worried about the baby's health. I have not had prenatal care, I'm a smoker, I am broke, and I have am in the middle of a bipolar episode. Although I am keeping the option of adoption open, I am not going to make that decision until I am sure I want to give my baby up. The father (my boyfriend) knows and is stressed about finances. Wee're both in school him with a 1.5 years left, me with 3. He works on campus but I am unemployed due to my episode. I am going to a shelter because I can't tell my mother who already thinks I am a failure. His mom who always liked me will now too. I am almost 80% sure I want to keep my baby but I want to pursue my goals, and make sure I can provide for this child. I am so confused, And just looking for some guidance. Any young mothers have solid advice for a very confused young woman? I have no idea what to do and don't know what is right.
