Wow first time writing.. My name's Kit and I'm 16, I'm six months pregnant on Nov. 8th and right now I'm dealing with having H1N1. I'm pretty much over the worst of it though and it helped having my baby nudge me along. I live with my parents, my boyfriend broke up with me after he found out I wanted to keep the baby. He's 22. He now has a new girlfriend who threatened to make
me lose the baby if she ever saw me trying to contact him. On October 16th he brought me to my doctor's appointment and then left me outside of walmart for 7 hours, saying he'd be back in 30 min. I left my ultrasound pictures in his truck and no matter how many times I beg him, he won't give them back. Recently he contacted me saying he wasn't sure if he loved his girlfriend and that he made a big mistake breaking up with me... But I'm not sure I want to go back with him, after everything he did. There's been someone else helping me though, I like him and he says he likes me too, he doesn't care if I'm pregnant. I'm still going to school and it's getting pretty hard with everyone talking about me and spreading rumors, but I've learned who my friends are that way. Everyone keeps talking about how I should've aborted my baby, but I know I couldn't have, I already love him/her and nothing would have been able to replace that. I may not be ready, but I'm slowly making my way towards being ready.

I got pregnant when I was 15, but I aborted. I've never regretted it, because that's because I knew for sure I did not want to be pregnant or be a teen mother. You, too, know exactly what you want, even though it's opposite of what I personally wanted.
I see nothing has changed in the ten years I've been out of high school. People there are mean-spirited and will taunt and tease, but don't let that get you down. You will need to have much courage in the next few months. You'll be on a roller coaster ride with the father of your child. Protect you heart, first and foremost. Since you've made the decision to be a mother, that child is what comes first and he must respect you as the girl that will have his baby. He needs to be supportive of you, even if he isn't with you. Do not worry too much about the romantic, "being together" part.
There will be people that will talk about you NO MATTER what you decide to do. If you abort, people will talk about you for aborting. If you keep it, people will wonder why you kept it. If you give it up for adoption, people will wonder how you could give up your own baby. I know it's hard, but don't worry about other people. You're the one that has to live with the choice you make...NOT THEM.
I hope that helped...
Stay Strong
