Answer 1

I think that if you can make it work then you should. The fact that your parents and your boyfriend will all support you is GREAT... it doesn't work that way for everyone. If you don't want an abortion then don't do it or you will regret it forever.
But if you do keep the baby be prepared for a very big lifestyle change. When all your friends are going out you will need to be looking after that baby and you will get people staring and making rude comments because you are so young. BUT at the end of the day, you will be able to go home to your beautiful little boy or girl who will love you regardless of your age, regardless of how much money you bring home as long as you love him/her too.

Answer 2

Its awesome that you have a suport system in place already. being a mommy to a wailing newborn is hard work I did it at 31 and had a hard time, I cannot imagine it at 15.
I am not going to tell you to abort or not to, I have no right to voice an opinion on that. I will tell you though that there are thousands of people in the world waiting to have a baby placed in their arms forever. Personally I think adoption is great but again, you need to make that choice.

I also think its great that you wanna finish school, many teens do not, not b/c they don't want to but motherhood and school are very hard at the best of times, let alone trying to do both at the same time.

If you plan on having the baby you are off to a good start, that support system will help you more than you will know. Babies are never an oops the are just a blessing that comes a bit earlier than planned. .

Good luck and I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!!

It sounds to me that although this isn't an ideal time to raise a child, it could be a lot worse. You've got supportive family and a supportive boyfriend, and that makes a huge difference. When you go for your first prenatal visit, talk with your doctor or nurse about how you're feeling. They'll be able to offer more information to help you make your decision. From the information you've given though, I think keeping your baby would be a good thing. It makes sense that you're confused, but the fact that you have supportive people in your life makes a world of difference, especially if you don't like the idea of abortion or adoption. I wish you all the best!

Answer 4

Hey there, I'm also about 7 weeks pregnant and im 14. I think it's great that your family is so supportive of you, when my parents find out they're just gonna to kill me! Not literaly, but they will be very mad and dissapointed. I feel the same way though, as I dont want to have an abortion but I also dont want to put it up for adoption. I'm just scared the father won't want anything to do with the baby once its born. And I think thats really great that your mom is willing to stay at home with him when your at school. My mom told me that if I ever did get pregnant I'd be all on my own and I'm going to be so you're lucky to have such a wonderful family thats going to be there for you

Answer 5

I had my son when I was 16. I am 34 now, and guess what, I LIVED THROUGH IT. I have a great job, my son is 18 years old, he is planning to attend college right out of high school, and he is a great kid. When I count the blessings in my life... He is always #1 at the top of the list. Rub your belly and give your baby a hug. You now have a best friend for life growing right inside you.
The first thing you need to do is to learn to pray. Turn to God everyday and speak truthfully and openly about how you feel. Put faith in God and ask Him to guide and support you in all things big and small. God will never turn His back on you even when the rest of the world will.
Don't worry your life isn't over. Stop freaking out. You can survive this just like many of us other women have.
Thats right, I said woman. You have now officially been thrust into womanhood. Childhood days are gone now. You have to start being very responcible and think seriously about you and your babies future.
If you and your boyfriend are happy together and love each other, get married.
If your not ready for marriage, get on the list for low income housing. It is important for you to get out away from your mom and dad as soon as possible. They have raised their family and shouldn't be burdened by having to raise yours. By that I mean within the next couple of years. Let them help you to finish high school, then.....
Get your own place, go to college, and become independant. Sit down and make a plan for yourself. Don't get overwhelmed by it ... just make a plan of how you will achieve your independance and do your BEST to stick to it.
The baby is the best thing that could have ever happened to you. DO NOT let people make you feel negative about it. Women have been having babies for a long long time, you will do fine. Your young and healthy, so don't sweat it, you will be fine.
At fifteen your parents shouldn't have been letting you go steady with a guy. That is how this happens. But.......... it is too late for regret now... now it is time to be a woman and raise your baby. It is all about the baby now, and will be for the next 18 years.

Answer 6

Sounds like you already know what you want to do. Maybe you just need other people telling you you are right. If your mom and dad will help you and you can stay in school and raise your child yourself, that is the best option. I was adopted when I was a baby. My birthmom was forced to give me up and she had mental problems ever since. Your future is going to be hard but raise your baby with your parents help and finish school so you can give your baby what it needs and provide a home, food and clothing for it. You already have the most important thing and that is love and a good support system. Good luck.

Answer 7

You sure aren't the first 15 year old to get pregnant, and will definatly not be the last hon. It is very good that your family and boyfriend are there beside to help support you. Abortion and Adoption, nah, you can do this, you will of course have to grow up alot quicker, but I am 23 years old, married with a 2, 3 and 4 year old.....and I wouldn't change the growing up quickly for the world!! Im sure you'll make a wonderful mother :)

Answer 8

I think in todays society with people who abort babies at the drop of a hat, your story is refreshing and I say good on you for keeping your baby despite the pressures that will surround such a young mum as yourself.
Sometimes when you do the right thing, and I believe that you are, things may at times be difficult - but will out together for good in the end, I promise.
If I were you, I would take one day at a time, dont try and work too much out right now, as you are prob. quite hormonal (Me too at 8 weeks pregnant!)
With my first I was worried aboyut so many things, where to live, how I was going to cope, mentally, financially the list went on, now my eldest is a beautiful intelligent young man, who has grown up strong - and I am on baby no. 4!
What I am saying is, try not to worry about things too much, worry doesnt do any good to anyone and is unproductive, but enjoy each day. Soon you are going to be a very blessed if not busy young lady!

Answer 9

it sounds like you have a pretty good situation going what with your boyfriend and parents being supportive. if you feel like you can provide the baby with the love and life that it deserves then i say keep it, otherwise adoption might be a good option. if you keep it its going to be pretty hard but at the same time pretty rewarding. its scary but its exciting...ur having a baby! congrats! ive actually seen the exact same situation before and everything worked out just fine for them. The mother is graduating this next year, the father graduated and is going to college. Im sure u can make it work too. Just dont be ashamed of it thats all i can say. ppl might look at you wierd but who are they to judge? so many ppl have been in the exact same situation as you but not strong enough to go through with it. If you do go through with the pregnancy and keep the baby thats an accomplishment to be proud of. good luck to you and your family...and ur little one = )

Answer 10

No sarcasm from me. Just sound advice. Consider giving your baby to a happy, stable married couple who cannot have their own children.

You are so young, and so is your boyfriend. Why ruin the rest of your lives by becoming parents at such a young age? Responsible parents do what is best for their children. If you think you can be the best parent possible at 15 or 16, then keep the baby. But if you think your baby would be better off with a loving, mature couple then, consider the gift of adoption.

You've got a lot to think about, I wish you the best.
