mines due november 6th lol. if i gave it up for adoption, i would write a letter for the baby to read when its around 16 and tell my baby why i had to give it up for adoption and tht if things had of been different then i would have kept him/her, etc..
i no! its got to be one of the biggest dilemmas anyone could ever face. what do ur parents think about the whole thing?x

i dont really know wat my parents tink, day wont tell me anythin really. my mum is getting far 2 involved nd i actually hate it but hey wel im off to work so speak later .
i hate it that i have 2 go work when i feel so crap x

You have 2 do what is best ofr you and the baby and no one else.

No one else is going to be raising it apart from you. I think you need to have a serious think sweetie and dont make any rushed decisions.

I knwo it seems like your mum is sticking her nose in but you are still her "baby" and im sure she only wants whats best for you. Talk 2 her and tell her what you think

Good luck

If you feel stong about having an abortion don't let people who have nothing to do with this stop you.

I'm 18,I thought about it too.I mean I have ambitions,I started college in the fall and I was scared that I won't be able to finish it but I worked it out with my guidance counselor.
But I'm definitely keeping it now,I love it so much and I'm very happy.Even though I'm no longer in touch with my parents...

Do whats best for you...

Hi you really need to do what you feel is right. This is no body elses decision.
I gave the same advice to ella afew weeks ago, 9 years ago i was in the same situation as you, 16 at school doing my exams and i fell pregnant. I told my mum and she was fantastic, said she would look after the baby for me so i could still go to uni etc but the decision was mine and i decided not to keep the baby. I never thought of it as a baby and never told the father- until it was too late!
Years later i got married and due to complications from the termination i was told my chances of ever conceiving again were low, so i am lucky to have fallen pregnant- although it was a huge shock!!
Ultimately it is your decision, you are the one who will be bringing up the baby unless you decide on adoption- which of course is fantastic for people who really cant have children.
I do need to tell you though that the nhs will only do terminations upto 12 weeks so you really dont have much time.
You may find people will judge you if you have a termination but they are not in your situation- ignore them.
Good luck, i hope all goes well for you whatever you decide xx

P.s- i wouldnt change the chance of becoming a mum now for the world, its a great feeling!!!

The choice is ultimately yours honey. Although I never fell pregnant in my teens, I can understand how scary it must be and of all the decisions on what is best for you and baby.

There truly should be more support groups for teenage pregnancies and places where one can go and discuss options, etc.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide!

No matter what your family or boyfriend think it is your desision.

Some things to consider: How will you feel if you decide not to have the baby? How will having the baby effect your life? Can you still forfill your ambitions with a baby? If you did decide to have the baby adpoted can you see yourself not getting attached to it while it grows inside you? Will you wonder about where it is or what it is doing as it grows up? Is your relationship ready for the pressures of a baby? Do you feel attached to the baby already?

Also bear in mind that at 10 weeks, the fetus is 1 and half inchs big. Also the longer you leave it the harder the procedure may be on your body.

I havn't read any posts apart from the first one because I've just got in from dinner and I'm feeling pretty lazy lol. Anyway, no one can tell you whether or not to have an abortion. It's your body. Your life won't be over, it'll just be more difficult (which will make it so much more worth it). Please don't get rid of it if that's not what you want to do. You'll regret it forever if it's not what you want. However, if it is what you want, don't let anyone put you off either. It's your body, your decision, and as against abortion as I am, it's completely your choice.

To decide whether you want the baby, forget about money, forget about responsibilities, forget about everyones opinions, and ask yourself "do I want this baby?" If you do, you know what to do. If you don't, again, you know what to do.

My sister-in-law couldn't have kids and now has two beautiful adopted children. The oldest is five and runs around boasting that she is adopted.

It sounds like you have a really good support system around you between parents and your boyfriend which makes things a lot easier. But in the end, the decision is yours !! Whatever you decide you are the one who will live with the decision.

Good luck with whatever your choose!

Hey i just wanted to say good luck with your choice. I went through the thought of giving up my baby though it didnt last long i also thought about what i wanted to do in my life. I'm in a law degree and i've still got 5 more years at uni, i'm fairly ok at my sport and was meant to be training with the british U21s this year, though because its horses i cant get on one at all until November and i'm totally gutted. But now i cant imagine that i'd be so petty (though i do really miss it) i know its not the same as what you're going through and i cant imagine the decision you're having to make. But i dont have any qualms about abortion because i think that people make the decision that is right for them. So good luck and i hope you make the right one for you.
