We have been together for 2 years my BF and I, we went through allot of hard times (him finding out about a daughter that he never saw), I was very supportive and loving as ever. But an unplanned pregnancy happened on valentine's day!
We have been trying to make a decision about his complicated situation, we both want this baby but we can't afford it. He's been on and off about having the baby. We went to abortion clinics twice this week, and once we're there he's insisting that I should cancel.
Now, I'm still pregnant, but SO lonely...my family doesn't know about it, his family doesn't care, we are not married, and he works or not home all the time. I work minimum part-time and I really need to share my lonely time with someone. Please give me a clue..

Why don't you go to some chat rooms, unfortunatly the only one i can think of at the moment is in www.babycentre.com, but i'm sure if you do a google search you could find some others. You could also talk to your midwife or healthcare provider who might know of groups that meet up in your area. About the money thing and not being able to afford it, try not to worry, having a baby is expensive but you always manage to get by, by cutting back on other things, and buying things for the baby second hand which will be cheaper. Also try and talk to your partner, let him know how you feel, hopefully he wil be supportive. Good luck.

You should contact a support group around you, or go to a psychologist. It sounds like you are having a hard time weighing out this decision. You should also tell you families...it will help you find out what kind of support system you will have. As far as finances go, is there a reason you only work minimum part time? Are you in school? Maybe you should concider an open adoption. You could pick the parents for your baby, and maintain a relationship. Then you would not have to worry about being able to support your child financially, but you would still be able to be emotionally supportive as he or she grows up. I wish you the best of luck.

Look for a pregnancy support center of some type, they offer parenting and mommy groups where you spend a couple hours with other new moms and moms-to-be, they usually also can offer help with questions you may have and with helping out with some diapers, clothes, wipes, sometimes cribs etc. you can also connect to people online. I am a mom of 5 kids, I'm 29 years old, I am a very open person and don't judge. feel free to contact me!
