You can still keep your baby, but you will have to grow you fast and miss out on a lot of things that kids get to do. I was in your shoes, I was pregnant at 15, email me and I will answer any questions or just talk to you if you like. I am 19 with two kids and one one the way. Best of luck to you.
How dare anyone tell her to have an abortion. Thats not your place to tell her that and its wrong. To tell a 15 year old to kill a baby, that has a heart beat? How could you? Back off her at least she is owing up to her problem, and not trying to get the easy way out.

This is a serious decision that will affect you for the rest of your life, no matter what you chose to do. I think if you are questioning the situation then you should keep the baby. You and the father of the baby should be a team on everything all the way down to the decision of what happens to the baby. Adoption, keeping the baby, or even(my worst fear and I am pro-life so I don't agree with this decision) abortion. You two mad e the decision to lay down and create a life so the TWO of you need to be the responsible ones in this choice and do what the two of you can life with without regrets. I hope you make the right decision and have a great pregnancy.

Ok, I never thought about that kind of stuff when I was 15. I am 27 and I am 38 weeks pg now and I still think am I to young. If you want to keep the baby and you have a good support team at home that will help and be there for you then that is good, but there is also tons of families that can not have kids and you can always help another family out. Good Luck and anything that you decide will be what is best for you.

I commend you for wanting to keep the baby.
First, talk to your family and see what kind of help your parents will give you. Second, get a job, babys are expensive (diapers, formula ect) you are only 15, so you might only be able to work limited hours until you turn 16, but any jump on improved finances will help.
Talk to your doctors and see what you need to do to help this baby be healthy.
My cousin had a baby at 16 and kept it, she's a wonderful little girl and her mom had a hard time but made it work, with the help of her family and she can't immagine her life with out her daughter.
Also, keep in mind, if you begin to feel like maybe you won't be able to raise a child, there are millions of people out there that are waiting to adopt a child and giving your child up for adoption if you believe that's the best for them, is also a commendable choice.
Good luck.

Keep the baby of course ...no matter what don't abort your child...talk to someone about it..someone u can trust and who will give u good healthy advice...aborting ur child is never the option .... if ur mom is understanding she can take care of the baby so u wont have to worry about u still being a child or there is always the option of adoption ... think positively.

It is something only you can answer. It depends on your situation. Do you have family support? Will your parents be the legal guardian and take care of your child? Who will support you? Do you know how to take care of a child?
But the most important question is can you provide this baby with the highest possible quality of life?

You just said it: You are a child yourself.
Think about that. You have NO business engaging in intercourse to begin with.
I do NOT believe in abortion as a birth control option...that is the easy way out. Adoption, on the other hand, is an entirely different story and could provide a couple who is unable to have kids the opportunity to raise a child of their own.

ADOPTION. You are not emotionally or financially ready for a child. It would be VERY SELFISH to keep the baby because you don't want to live with the guilt of giving it up. TRY to act like an adult and put your baby first!

Do what you want, if you want to keep it then keep it but don't punish the baby cuz you got pregnant. You have to be willing to give up your social life and your friends and your body for some time. You can't be selfish and drink and smoke and have unprotected sex. Everything you do from this point on affects the little person growing inside of you. So keep it but be prepared that it's not going to be easy.

wow....you've got yourself into a tough little situation, don't you? Well, talk to your mom about keeping it. See if she'll help out with things for a while. But if in your heart you have any doubts about keeping it, maybe you could have it and then give it to adoption. You're at a young age, and taking care of a baby while you're still growing up is going to be really hard to do. It's alot of responsibilty and it takes up 99.9% of your time.
