Have the baby! I was in your situation once too and I decided that abortion was unfair to my child. If you absolutely cannot keep the baby, there are plenty of awesome families out there who would be willing to adopt. I chose to take my financial chances and keep my son and I couldn't be happier. Times are tough for us, but he has brought me so much more joy. I have never regreted the fact that I got pregnant with him and kept him. I could never imagine my life without him now. You just have this special kind of love for them. I'm sure you've heard it before, but I found out how true that was. Give yourself or another loving family a chance to experience that special love too. Besides, there is no feeling in the world like the first time you feel them move around inside your tummy. My son is making me laugh as I type. Listen, if you think that you have the support from your family, then keep your child. If not, then at least choose the adoption route. Could you be able to live with yourself for killing a baby?

If you want the child then by all means do so. If you are in doubt and the father isnt around or wont support the child then you have options. You can have the child and put it up for adoption or find a family now that wants a child and have them pay for the medical expenses and adopt as soon as it is born. Abortion is a taboo subject now days, but if a person cant or dont want to raise a child alone then why bring a child into this world being in a situation like that. Not healthy for a child. The choice is yours but you do have options.

absolutely yes you should have this child. If you have an abortion, you will regret it until the day you die, trust me I know. When I was 17, my parent forced me to have one, it's been 24 years and not a day goes by that I do not think of my precious child, the one that was so cruelly taken from my body. At least if you give it up for adoption, you'll have the chance of seeing your child again in 18 years, I'll never have that chance. Please I beg of you...have the baby and give it to someone who will love it and care for it. I always said if I could save the innocent lives then somehow I could make up for the loss of mine but I keep working at it, I miss my baby daily, celebrating birthdays and all. Don't make the same mistake.

If you are, which I truly hope you are not, this is not the correct place to get that kind of question answered. That answer should come from searching your heart and realistically looking at your options in life at 18. Please find someone you trust who is older and maybe a little wiser to talk to. You don't have to do what they say and sometimes talking out something helps make you think of new options on your own because you have to sort it out in your own mind so it makes sense to the person you are talking to. If you are not, take time to think about what would have happened if you were and enjoy being 18.

Well you should of thought about that before you spread your legs!!I'm sick of women using abortion as a method of birth control!That is a life you are killing,you brain dead don't know what a condom is looser!!I was 15 when i got pregnant far to young to be having a baby but i kept it and never thought twice about it!My momma told me if your big enough to have sex then your big enough to take what comes with it she might of sounded harsh but it was true she was hurt but she wasn't going to let me do anything foolish!!Which i wouldn't of anyways seems i had more maturity about me at 15 then you do at 18.Grow up kid!!Have the baby and if you don't want it give it away ,there are alot of women who cant even have babies and cry and pray and spend ungodly amounts of money trying to conceive,that would give anything to get pregnant.And we have women like you who take it for granted!!Be glad god blessed you,children are a gift from god.You could be on the other end and let me tell you that isn't fun.

Only you can really make this decision. You need to look at your life and where you are. Can you handle having a child in your life? Can you support that child? And the most important question you need to ask yourself...In years to come are you going to regret having an abortion if that is what you decide to do?

that is not a decision you want someone else making for you. I personally do not believe in abortion. i gave birth to my first child when i was 19. it was hard but i got through it. there are a lot of programs out there to help you. go see a doctor and she will be able to refer you to those places.

yes i totally think you should go through with it. even though 18 is young, abortion should be totally out of the question. even if you dont want the baby give him/her to an adoption center. tons of people want children but they cant do i totally think you should do it no matter what.
good luck :D

If you know you cannot take care of your child, the ultimate gift of love would be to give it to a family who would be thrilled to have your baby.

If you willingly had sex, knowing the possible results, then yes you should have it. If you know that you are not ready to be a parent, then there is always adoption.
