I'm sorry to hear what's happening. Your choice is the only decision that counts for you and your baby. Your a 25 year old GROWN adult, even if your living at home, you still and are able to make decisions NOW on your own. No one at your age, should and will be making decisions for you, it's just not morally correct. My opinion would be that you are more and likely pregnant even though the line on the test was light, that can happen. If you have a extra pregnant test, test in a couple days with your first morning urine, and if it comes positive schedule a doc appt, they more and likely will confirm it was a blood test anyway's, and even if it's negative and bothersome to you, schedule an appt any way's with your doctor, it never hurts to be sure.
Good luck and I wish you the best!

You need to tell your mother that you are a grown woman and that you want to keep your baby and it is your choice! Also ask her how she would feel if your grandmother had told her to have an abortion when she was pregnant with you!!! Sorry but every child has a right to live! There are programs out there that will help you too if things are going to be hard for you in your mother's home! This includes helping you find housing, and there is WIC that will help you out with milk, cereal, eggs, juice and even formula!!! Keep your head up and remember you can do anything if you put your mind to it including raising a baby!!! Is the father in the picture? If so talk to him and tell him what is going on!!! If he is a great guy he will stay by your side and you can raise your child together!!!

dude you're 25, your mom can't make you have an abortion. i say have the baby, and if you must, give it up for adoption. it deserves a chance. i'm pro choice but it's your mess up and the baby shouldn't have to die because you weren't careful. i got pregnant at 24 and didn't think i could handle it. i'm almost 26 and my daughter is the light of my life. have you told the father? do you know who the father is? it IS possible to be a single mother. there's plenty of government assistance out there to get you on your feet. You're 25, you should've been out of your parents' house a long time ago. if you aren't adult enough to get out of your parents house and take on this kind of responsibility then let someone that can raise the child. i'm not trying to be a jerk, just realistic.

I am Catholic. That means I am completely against abortion.
BUT
Probably your mother is worried about the cost of bringing up a child with no other person to help you..and depending, she might be worried about your reputation. I am a mother. I would nolt like to have my daughter (your age, by the way) being pregnant but due the acutal situation of everything maybe I would think it over...talk to you mother again, NICELY BUT VERY SERIOUSLY and see all pros and againsts...maybe she is just mad a the moment but she'll get over it..luck! A MOM!
You say you still live at home...maybe that's influencing her decision..."what others can say"...it would happen to me!

If you keep the baby, you might have to move out on your own. But no one can make you get an abortion. It'll blow over, when I got pregnant last year, I had just met my bf. My mom told me to have an abortion and I refused. My bf would kill me if I did anyway. 2 months later we found out we were having twins. I didnt talk to my mom for 4 months and when I did start talking to her she was ok with it, now she loves her 2 granddaughters!

If you're still living with your mother at age 25, she has a right to her opinion and she has a right to state that she doesn't want to live with a baby. If you want your baby, move out and stand on your own two feet. You can't have it both ways, declaring independence from Mom on one issue but remain reliant on her on another.

yes, even with a faint line you are more than likely preg. i dont know your situation but theres no way at 25 would i let my mom tell me to abort my baby even if i did live with her. can you get help from the dad? you'll never forgive yourself or your mom if you do that.good luck

She can not legally force you into that. It's your body and your child. You are an adult. If she is not willing to keep you inside the house if you are having a baby, be strong and go ask your physician for help. He/she will know about places that woukd take you in to get you and the baby setteled. Be strong, do not let your mother manipulate you!
