Contact your local Planned Parenthood and speak with one of their counselors about your options. They'll help you make an informed decision.
Don't let anyone make you feel guilty or pressured. YOU have to do what's right for YOU. It doesn't concern anyone else. Whatever choice you make will be the right one for you.'
Good luck! I wish you the best.

It is hard having a baby, but it is also the best thing ever too. There is nothing I wouldnt do for my child she is a gift and just to get pregnant is a blessing in itself. But since you did ask I feel we can give you our opinion. Adoption is an option unless you are being selfish by saying you would rather have this child dead than letting anyone know you were ever pregnant or have trouble with the idea with someone else raising your child. Everything happens for a reason and this baby may not be what you wanted if you are pregnant but I believe it deserves a chance at life. If you could ask this child if it wanted to live I believe it would answer yes. There have been many failed abortions some where the babies came out with terrible birth disorders due to what their mothers tried to do to them and when asked as adults if they were glad that the abortion wasnt sucessful many answered yes and I cant recall any who didnt. But it is up to you to decide good luck and best wishes.

Do not abort the baby. DO NOT! Terminating the pregnancy is NOT an option. Why is adoption out of the question? Why not let a family adopt the child? You made the child and you need to consequence. My advice is to KEEP the child. It will be hard but you can make it. There are plenty of ways to make it with a child.

why is adoption not an option? Most adopting families will cover ALL of your medical expenses. Not only that but you can and will qualify for LOTS of government aid like Medicaid and WIC so you will have NO medical costs and FREE FOOD for you and the baby.
For me, ABORTION is not an option. Also, just because the daddy won't be in the baby's life doesn't mean his money won't or even possibly his parents.
DO NOT ABORT. you need to go talk to a counselor. There are people who can help you. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE! Contact crisis pregnancy. There are clinics and centers in your area. Do you realize your baby probably already has a heartbeat?

if you dont have any family, then maybe this is a sign. u dont have to have an abortion, there must be a way you could still go to college and have a baby at the same time. why is adoption out of the question? i dont think ppl realise that they have an actual human being inside them, with a personality, with feelings. i think its very irrisponsible of you to be in this situation in the first place, you are obviously a smart women, at college, why werent you smart enough to use protection?? im sorry but u cant just go having an abortion just cos you cant be bothered with a condom.

well you could start going to collage part time and get a job to have some money. if you are willing to terminate a pregancy why cant you adopt the baby out there are families out there who cannot have childern, you can have an open adopitio where you can see the child or have a closed one. take your time to think about this. good luck.

I agree whomeohno, don't the father have a say you should tell him he might want to be in the childs life, I think it is your decision but use birth control in the future to prevent ending a life

The best advice anyone can give you is to contact Planned Parenthood. They can help you go through all of your options and, if you choose to abort, they can help you with that as well. Really, it's a perfectly moral and acceptable choice.

I don't understand why adoption isn't an option.
Pregnancy kinds sucks sometimes, but it reduces your ricks of uterine cancer I believe. And it isn't the baby's fault its alive.
But it sounds like you have made up your mind. But if not please speak to someone about adoption, if only to make sure it really isn't an option.
