No one can make you have an abortion. You have to decide if you're truly ready to be a mother and then be willing to accept the responsibilities that will come with that role. If your parents however are not willing to support you and force you to choose between living at home and having and abortion or keeping the baby and not living under their roof then that's another set of problems you will have to deal with. There are shelters and women's groups that will help and support you but you have to consider also the affect that would have on your relationship with your parents.
If you need more support and suggestions then feel free to contact me whenever you like.
Best Wishes

This is a HUGE decision and you only have a short time to make it. There are so many loving families that would love to have a baby so adoption is always an option. As far as abortion that is a permanent decision and you need to think seriously about it. If you do go through with it you obviously need to think about birth control so you do not get yourself in this situation again. As far as keeping the child and raising it yourself you better be prepared. I had my dtr when I was 16 she is 14 now and I did it the right way. You cannot put this child on your parents AT ALL it is not fair to them. They have already raised their children. You will need to provide shelter food and love for the rest of the childs life. If you work you will need child care. If you dont have a car you will have to take the bus with your child, I did. There is just so much to think about bringing a child into the world soooooo young yourself. Please see the following links hopefully this will help. The first link is on adoption so many families want kids but cant have them. The second link is facts about abortion. The third link is some information on becoming a teen parent. I hope you make the right decision. Being a parent is so important and im not sure you are ready especially because you do not know who the childs father is. Good luck.

Do whats in your heart. Just realize that all of your decisions from here on out will have a consequence. So make it a responsible decision. If you are still in school and want to have a baby it is possible. You must realize though it will be hard. You will get no sleep. You will need to pass classes and work in the evening. If your parents wont watch the baby then you will have to pay for daycare. Dont forget their is help out there. Alot of organizations will help you if your willing to look for them and work hard. The one good thing about it. You will have some one that really looks up to you and loves you for you. Not to mention that by the time the baby is grown and ready to leave the house if you havent had more children you are still young enough to bounce back and enjoy youth. If you decide on abortion just realize that it will have an effect on your soul. Im not sure if you believe in God or not. But either way you will feel the loss. It is something most never forget. You and your parents need to really have a long talk about the pros and cons.

You dont know who the father is???
Boy!! Where you stoned or something??
But I admire your decision to keep the baby, but thats going to be the least of your worries once it is born. Are you sure you have thought over all the details???
When your parents are asking you to get it aborted, I would plead with you to listen to them. Because they know best.
But if you need to keep the baby, try and get a job right away..
something you can do at home to earn extra money while studying. You can suceed as a single mom, if you have the benjamins.
'Fathers' would come once you get the green backs rolling in.
So here are your choices..
Get rid of your baby, listen to your parents and your head, the next time, you uncross your legs.
Or,
Keep the baby, start looking for a job that you can work at with flexi timings, and preferably at home, while also pursuing your studies. You will have a couple of months until the delivery to work and study more intensely, then a few months after that, you may have to nurse and pay attention to your child. Make sure you have your game plan written out in your mind.
Take care and remember, it is totally your decision.
Lets know how you are doing.
Cheers!!

This is a very emotional time which requires clear and penatrating insight. Baby is a lifetime of responsiblity. Do some research to find out what is the cost to have a baby and then take care of it for the first five years. If you think you can percure the finances and provide the baby with a good nurturing environment only then consider to bring another life into this world. Your parents have your best interest in their heart. So listen to them and ask them to explain their recommendations. Talk to the planned parenthood people. Adoption is always an option as well. Listen to your parents.

Do what your heart tells you to do. I think it's telling you not to have an abortion.
I think you should have been more careful with who you sleep with. You have to think about the baby and who the baby will call dad. If you have the baby, take care of him/her and guide the child in the right direction in life. Be careful not to get pregnant this way again. The baby has every right to know who his/her father is. Get a paternity test from the guys you slept with once the baby is born and hope that they can take some responsibility. YOU need to be responsible too. Not knowing who your baby's dad is shows a lack of responsibility. Stay safe, for you and for your baby.
You got pregnant this time, but you have to remember there are STD's, which means, it could have been worse.
DON'T GET AN ABORTION
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE IF YOU WANT TO BE SOMEONE IMPORTANT IN LIFE AND TO YOUR BABY.
Good luck

Don't NOT get an abortion just because it's what your parents want. Have you actually THOUGHT about what it would mean to be a parent right now? You seem very young, and it would probably be a huge mistake to have a baby right now. Your parents want you to do it because it's probably for the best, for you! I'm sure, if you had the baby, you would be needing help from your parents, anyway!
It also seems, if you can't spell "pregnant," you shouldn't be pregnant!

It's your body and your parents can't make you have an abortion. Try to talk to them about the decision. After the baby is born, you can get the DNA test to find out the paternity of the child.

Hey I feel for you, and I know what its like to be there. But whatever you do DON"T get an abortion its wrong. Taking a lil life is dearly wrong. I know a couple people that had it done and they do regret it. I even knew someone who had three kids and had it done on her forth pregancy I don't know how in the world she could have done that after having three. Get help throught your local pregnancy counselor, but don't let anyone convince you to do the abortion. Just prepare for the little one and do whatever it takes to make it easier on you. I'm sure you must have freinds or relative that can support you in whatever you do. Good Luck!

I think you should get an abortion too...I mean I know you want the baby...but its just right now that its so easy to say that. It will be hard having a baby and even harder raising it on your own without a father...do what ur family insists on doing...They know what's best for you
