what are my options with an unplanned pregnancy?

Question

in Ontario

with a positive preg test and a long tem boyfriend who says "we can't have a baby right now"

Answer 1

If you're looking for good choices with no regrets:

a. Keep the baby and find a way to work at home so you can raise him/her in a loving and stable environment
b. Find a loving, financially stable home for the baby through adoption.

You didn't mention the father....are you married, dating, etc? Babies need fathers. If you can't provide that....perhaps adoption is the clear choice.

All the best to you. My prayers for you and your little one.

Answer 2

Give the child up for adoption. There are so many couples that are eager and financially able to support a child. This is the best gift you can give your baby. There are already too many illegitimate children in the world. This will give the child the opportunity to have a family, a legitimate surname and a stable future. God bless you and best of luck!

Answer 3

go to

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/unplannedpregnancy

great information here...talks about and gives information for all three choices below:

1. KEEPING THE BABY
2. ADOPTION
3. abortion

it wouldn't be a hard choice for me BUT i am not you and i do know the circumstances so i wish you the best...you are about to make a life changing decision no matter what you choose.

*ADD*

do NOT let your boyfriend talk you into ANYTHING.... "we can't keep it" what the hell is that about? this is YOUR child too. YOU make up YOUR mind..........if he leaves then so be it (not trying to be nasty) don't do something you COULD regret because boyfriends come and go sweetie. there are plenty of GOOD SINGLE MOTHERS out there.....

please don't think i'm trying to talk you into keeping the baby if you don't want to...i just want the choice to be YOURS and not HIS

Answer 4

Suggesting that you shouldn't keep your baby because it may or may not be fatherless was a heartless suggestion by a previous answerer.

I am 22, and have never known my father.
My mother was a loving and wonderful provider for me.

If this is your situation, do not let the fact that you might not have a man in your life dictate you and your baby's happiness.

Answer 5

Keep it, adoption, or get an abortion.
You can check into your government's aide programs for insurance and help with cost of living expenses. Also check into child support (not sure how it works in Canada vs. US) from the father.
Or, you can get an abortion.
Good luck with your decision. I know how you feel. My pregnancy was unplanned, and I'm a single mother bc the father is irresponsible!

Answer 6

Your options are Abortion, adoption, and raising the child.

You are the only one who can make that decision, and don't let anyone pressure you into anything that you may regret later in life!

Answer 7

Answer 8

Keep it
Adoption
Abortion/Morning After Pill

Answer 9

depends on how long after.

it it's only been 3 days you can take the emergency contraceptive pill. i've heard you can take it a few more days after but for a more accurate result, take it within the 1st 72 hrs. they sell it at most drug stores.

Also, you can have a medical abortion, you take 2 pills, that I believe you can do within the 1st 3 months.

Than there's the other abortion, which is a surgery.

If you don't believe in that, there's always adoption.

Good luck. = ]

Answer 10

You can keep the pregnancy
You can put the baby up for adoption
Or you can abort
It is your choice
