Making the decision to have the baby?


Okay me and OH just sat down, and explained to me he's been kicked out of his shared house. (Long story) and is now temp. living at his friends, while he looks for somewhere to live.
This isn't good! I'm now wondering if I should keep our baby, as it would be okay if he still lived where he used to as we were planning on saving a disposit and moving in together. Obviously, now he can't save and won't be able to put much money to the baby fund till he has somewhere proper to stay.
He is supportive of me wanting to keep the child and told me he'd stick by me no matter what (he has a daughter with his ex, but they split up cos of differences.)
I know he'd make a great dad, but he's said is it worth getting ourself into debt and I'm quite young (18) and I love all the boozey nights out. Hes 25, so quite older.
I dunno what to do, he has a good point. I have just got a new job and been offered a second one so I'd be getting stressed and wouldn't be fair on the baby. Got a scan in 2 weeks and have to decide then. I'm sad, but he has a good point.

Sounds to me that you have already made up your mind. Having a baby is a big responsibility. If you feel the time is not right then it is up to you whether you keep the baby or not. Just think about it very carefully before you decide.

its your decision on what to do but i think you will regret getting rid of your child .. with you being in 2 minds about what to do you've already began to love your son/daughter.
i hope u make the right decision and if ur partner is saying he will stand by you no matter what then im sure the 2 of you together will make the right decision n which ever it is will be the right one, jus don't make any that you will regret cus i have in the past!! xxx

I know I don't want to regret it. My two close friends have just had their little girls and I said the same thing to them when they were deciding.
I had a MC in July as well soon I know you really do hate yourself, it's just money and that. :headbang:

I was in a similar position. i was raped when i was 17... and got pregnant. everyone told me not to keep her. but i did, and it was worth it.

just think things through. long term.. not just short term (:

It's your descion what you do. It sound's like you have already made up your mind. I personally think you will be fine and you can do it. I got pregnant at 16 and I am doing it. I start uni in september.It's hard but you can do.

I know you need advice hun

But it is actually against forum rules to discuss abortion. They are very strict on this one as it is a very emotive topic and people have strong views on it

Good luck with wahtever you decide
xx

if your finding it now you should know that when you have your scan that will make it 10 times harder because it makes it so real that there is actually a little baby in there so you need to be prepared for that.

ABORTION IS NOT THE SAME AS A MISCARRIAGE.
Consider adoption

It's against the rules of the forum to discuss abortion. I hope you make the right choice, but maybe in future those choices should be made before you get in bed.
