Im 19 Years Old.. My mum wanted me to have an abortion.. i went to the clinic but i couldnt do it... i wanted my mum to be happy but when i thought about it... i wouldnt be happy... an if i went thought with it i would resent my mum.. an i didnt want that...
i had a session wit a counciler... for nearly 2 hrs... an she put it all in to perspective for me...
i came out an tried to tell my mum i was keeping my babes.. she wouldnt look at me... hardly talk to me.. she kept walking away.. all i wanted her to do was hug an me tell me she will be there for me... i can understand its hard.. but its life it happpens...
do u think she will b okay?

I was 17, they weren't too happy as I was in my first year of university. They also found out when I was on holiday and my awful sil phoned them to tell them (she phoned 10 minutes before I left to tell me I had to tell them before I went or she would, the cow, knowing that I wanted to relax and let everyone know on my return). They were really pissed off at not being told straight away but I lived independently so they just had to accept it.

Sweetheart, she's probably just really worried about you. You're her baby girl! And she knows how hard motherhood is, and how expensive it can get - do you have a job at all?
She'll also be worried that you're risking your future. That, and she's probably still in shock!

Give her a few days to process the idea and calm down a bit, then try talking to her again Let her know you're not giving up on your life!

Best of luck hun

Hopefully she'll come around. If not soon, after the baby's born. That's her grandchild. Good luck hon, I hope she comes around soon!

im 17, first time i was 16 she went mental but soon came around

second time she was mad that id done it again but still supported me

this time around...shes used to it claims iv to call it george if its a boy.

xx

I Understand but i just need my mum.. =[
i work an that ...
i can imagin how hard it will be..
but i made this happen its my responsablity an i want to be a good mum for my child..
i just want my mum to know i can grow up an be mature
Oh trumpetbum thats not nice..
thanks for the support =] everywun x

my family has actually reacted pretty well. a little disappointed but nobody tried getting me to terminate and mom said it was completly my decision whether to keep her or not. she said that if i wasnt ready that she would adopt her so i could still be a teen and live my life and still have my baby around. just not be fully responsible for her

my mom was supportive but my dad didnt talk to me for almost 4 months but i knew he would come around sooner or later but even if he didnt i knew i wanted my baby, and he came around after he was born now he calls and ask bout him all the time, things between u will change, but hopefully for the better when she comes around good luck hun!

Hey there.

I was in the same situation, I'm 19 years old and when I found out I was pregnant, my parents + my sisters were trying to persuade me into getting an abortion. I even went to the clinic but could not go through with it. Everyone kept saying it would be the easiest thing to do, but having had an abortion a few years ago, I knew emotionally and mentally it would be FAR from easy. So, I decided to keep it! After about a week of me saying I wanted to keep it my family started coming around. I've involved my mom big time with my pregnancy, having her come to my monthly doctor appointments and ultrasounds and she really enjoys it. She's even browsing the internet ALL THE TIME trying to find cheap-o stuff on Ebay.

It'll just take time but I'm sure your mom will come around. Just tell her in a week when everything has settled in and she's has time to realize that you're going to keep it, that you really want her involved and you need her because she's your mom. She'll come around I'm sure! Good luck

my family reacted brilliantly so i cant really advise, only that shes probably scared to see her baby growing up! Big im sure she'll come round x
