m 21 and my boyfriend is 24, we've just sorted ourselves out financially, are living in a lovely house and had a lot of time and money to do the things that we wanted. Then in October I found out I was pregnant. At first it was really hard to decide whather I was happy or not. Even though we have enough money to get by now, a baby would totally change all of that, and we're in the position where we earn too much for benefits, but not enough to raise a baby. We considered abortion but in the end I don't think either of us could have handled knowing what we'd done. Im not against it, but for me it didnt feel like the right decision.
4 months on and we couldnt be happier or more excited. We're still worried about how we'll cope with money but we're saving every month. And we figured that what we wanted to do ourselves, having our baby with us while we do it will make it 10 times better. We have something that we made because we love each other, and its an amazing feeling. I couldnt have seen myself feeling like this when I found out.
Just wanted to let you know that a lot of people feel what you're feeling. It is a massive shock if its unexpected, but it doesn't have to ruin everything. You can build your life around it.
