Before i even got pregnant i had always said i would never ever have an abortion no matter what and i could not go though pregnancy to then give up my child.

So i always new i would keep my baby

I did think about an abortion but not for too long - I knew it'd haunt me for the rest of my life and that I was perfectly capable of providing for a child, and that if I had an abortion, it'd just be pure selfishness on my part. Before I even decided to keep my baby I also considered adoption, since there are so many people out there who can't have children or who have a really hard time of it... but I didn't think I could go through a pregnancy then not get to be my baby's mommy. My boyfriend did not want to go down that route at all either. And now we have a beautiful 6.5 week old daughter

Abortion never even crossed my mind to be honest as it just seemed like a gut instinct to want to keep the baby. Then again I am quite a maternal person so that might be why. I think the 'right thing to do' is different for everyone but in my situation I believe the right choice for me and my OH was to keep the baby.

I made up my mind a long time ago that if I were to ever get pregnant young, I would keep my baby. It was the right decision for me. However, when I got pregnant the second time, abortion did cross my mind, but not for long.

It crossed my mind the day I found out and a few weeks ago. Thankfully I sat down, prayed to God, and made the decision not to. I want my child and I want to be there for my child - regardless of my age or the nasty things other people may say about my situation.

Just for a reminder : this is not an abortion debate.

Just share your experiences and respect other people's beliefs.

But I love how this thread is going so far, good job!

The thought of having a abortion did cross my mind at first i was shocked, scared, worried, and didnt no what to do. also my partner is half asian and his family are very religious!! anyway he doesnt have tooo much to do with them so this really wasnt a issue his dad was VERY dissapointed and i was so scared that i would have to give up my job, car ect, and i just thought OMG NO i cant do this i need to have an abortion. Then after chattering with my partner who got really upset and basically said no dont do it i dont believe in abortions we will get through it, i think he just agreed with me on the abortion because he thought it was what i wanted, (it wasnt) but i was worried about his family, my family and general day to day life issue's! anyway we decided to keep the baby and were both Overrrr the moooon!! cant wait 2 c little bean!!
