Seriously I would take the advice of my parents. Don't worry about the baby's father. Your aim right now is to be healthy and take care of your growing baby.
Your parents are very important to you. They may have been upset and angry but they will soon over come it, remember that you are their teen child and weren't expecting this so early.

So take their advice and remember no matter what they will always be there for you.

Good luck with your choices.

Being fifteen you shouldn't have been having sex to begin with but what is done is done and there is no going back on it. But you need to get positive about everything from here on out. If the baby's daddy is already acting like this then you DO NOT need him to be around. The only thing that he needs to do is provide is financial responsibility. You didn't do thins all on your own it takes two. So make sure you talk to your parents and keep them informed about how he is acting and everything. Your parents willl be there no matter what. You can count on them when you can not count on anyone else. Especially since they told you that they would be there for you then they wil be there no matter what. Don't get mad at them when they tell you what to do, they have every right to because now not only are they taking care of you they are taking care of your child. Be happy you have parents that don't just ship you off to a distant relative and forget about you or even worse make you have an abortion against your will. You need to grow up real fast now and start thinking about that baby growing inside of you. It doesn't matter no mare what you want or have everything goes to the baby first and that is they way things should be and will be. Your child comes FIRST.

sweetheart, the baby's father doesn't really have a choice. It's disgusting that he's acting like this. I hope you dumped him. You are really blessed to have such a supportive family. Don't give the baby the father's last name, but go after him for child support. He knew very well that you were 15 years old when he laid with you (which is statutory rape) and he should have used protection (actually, he shouldn't have been with you romantically at all, but I'm not going to get into that too much). Just get child support from him and be willing to accept the help from your parents. They should jail his (the father's) *** for sleeping with you. What the heck does a 19 year old see in a 15 year old girl?

on the best of the day, it is your decision and everybody can do is furnish their opinion and adventure in this difficulty. in my opinion, i does not abort as i do not see Down's syndrome as a severe adequate incapacity to justify it. In yet another 2 weeks, your toddler is practicable and stands a good chance of survival outdoors of the womb. various little ones have survived in neonatal wide care gadgets from 22 weeks gestation onwards. even as there are some well being issues often times linked with the syndrome, diverse Downs toddlers stay quite chuffed lives. i have prevalent various in my existence and that i visit absolutely say that they were a lot happier than lots of the unaffected toddlers i comprehend. also they are very loving. My mum is conventional with a Downs woman in her overdue Nineteen Twenties who's actual an actress and has her own home. i'd recommend you communicate over with a counsellor till now doing something drastic as they are independent and would furnish some quite good suggestion. besides to this, you may want to go and be conscious your clinical specialist and locate out what worrying for a baby with Downs actual contains. on the best of the day, this remains your toddler. Abortion isn't something to be taken gently and would reason you everlasting psychological damage. in case you confirm to proceed such as your being pregnant, even if it really is puzzling or not, you'll adjust to having a baby who needs a touch more effective care. i'm hoping you manage to achieve a decision that you're chuffed with and desire you all the suitable for the destiny.

First of all relax. Your parents said they were going to be there for you so why wouldn't they be? Now for the babys daddy. He is 19 and sounds like he needs to grow up a bit you both knew what could happen by having sex and now he needs to take responsibility for it also. I know being young and having a child is going to be hard. But you need to do what is best for your baby. I am not against you trying to make it work but have you thought about adoption if you don't think you can do it?

I wish you the best of luck

first, have you decided to keep your baby?, you do have choices, if you decide to carry to term and keep your baby, their are young mother programs that you can enroll in. They will help you become a better parent. Becoming a good parent is something that comes natural, sounds corny but it is very very true, If you decide on adoption, you will need your parents help with legal fees and you will definitely need counseling on the separation of you and your baby. There is help, even if the child's father wants no part in its life. Some states will allow you to sue for child support while you are still pregnant. Ask your parents for help filling and yes its free to file and no you dont need a lawyer to do this. There is help, think, search and you will find help.

Do you want to have the baby? If you do then, you can handle it, no matter what. If your parents say that they will be there then take their word for it. As for the baby's father, don't worry about him! If he doesn't want to be in the baby's life then that's his fault. You can always get child support from him so that your baby will be financially taken care of. But you can do it. I'm sure that you'll figure it out. Good luck! (p.s. Don't listen to what other people have to say. Hold your head up!)

First take good care of yourself and your baby. Forget about the dude. He's too old for you, but too young to be a dad and you shouldn't expect anything from him. You need to learn to make yourself your priority. There are special places you can go while you are pregnant, and they will take care of you (be there for you) during your pregnancy and then help you decide what to do once the baby is born. Talk to your doctor or school nurse about moving into one of those types of homes. Good luck!

Their are many ways that you can get help to support the child if that is what you are scared of. I think that the baby's father will change his mind once he knows that is for real. But if he doesn't then you can get child support from him in order to help support the needs of the baby. I don't know your parents but I am a parent and I would help my kid out in any way but they are probably going to be hard on you cause it is your child. But believe them when they say that they are going to be their for you. I bet that your mom will help you on learning things about your baby. I wish you the best and good luck.

First, if you dont want to have the baby, understand that there are many, many responsible adults that are struggling to have their own children-- ones who they can be financially and emotionally there for-- and adoption may be a good choice if you do not want your child. You can even ask for an "open" adoption in which you still get to see pictures and be in contact. I know several people my age (23) who knew they were adopted growing up and understood their mother was too young and didn't seem to hold a grudge for their mother making that choice.

Second, if you want to keep it, have faith in your parents and do your best to keep your chin up. Make sure you consult a lawyer about making the father legally/financially reponsible for his child too, so that you're not left high and dry.
