I'm sure you going to do what you think is best but all i can say is please don't regret it in a couple of years time, if you need to chat you can PM me anytime. I'm 20 and have 2 lil darlings, i was never one for goin out so that didn't bother me much but there are a couple of things which i now regret not doin like learning to drive or have a holiday abroad with just my partner. Make the decision that best for you and good luck x x
I just read this post and it reminds me of how hard its going to be for me from now on im 17 and i got pregnant it was totally unplanned and at the time me and my OH were in college working and living together we were planning to go to uni and traveling together in years to come. when i found out i was pregnant we realised we had to change things in our life so we could suport a baby so my OH had to leave college and joined the army so we can live atm my health is to poor for me to go back to work and we lost our flat so until we get married quarters my mum has been a star and moved me in with her but theres not a day that goes by were i dont feel guilty and like im living of them and i hate it. i dont regret keeping my baby and i cant wait to be a mummy but i know that life is going to be far from easy and i have to work my ass off cuz i am not willing to let my baby start off in life with anything less then i had. I i really hope u have thought it through cuz its by far one of the most important choice you will make good luck hun
I know the OP hasn't been back on in a while but I wanted to add a few things.
I'm 31 and now a single father to twins. It's difficult for me and I am on my own with a well paying job. There are things you need to consider before having a baby at a tender age, along with all that the previous posters have said.
Is your BF able to take care of a baby should something happen to you during the birth? I'm not trying to scare you or be negative but my wife died during the birth of our twins.
Could you handle taking care and supporting a baby if it has special needs, or if by chance you end up with more than one baby?
I do not mean to put down any of the young mothers on here but they gave excellent advice and I hope you take their advice and try not to grow up so quickly. Build a relatinship with your boyfriend first, get yourself in a valuable direction and complete some goals.
I am going to be one of those annoying old folk who is going to tell you to wait!!!
You have the rest of your lives to be parents and you will both go through many changes in your personalities in the next few years!
If however, you feel you must do this, i hope your OH has a good job and a home to provide the little one with when he or she arrives. Just remember, when all of your friends are getting ready to go out on a Friday night, you will be changing nappies....
Please think it over very carefully!!
Good Luck
