I am 22 years old and I just found out I’m 4 weeks pregnant.
I’m going into my final year at university, and hardly have any money to provide for the baby. And I’m worried if I have the baby, I won’t be able to cope, in many ways. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish uni. The other thing is that I’ve been with my boyfriend for only 3 months even though I went out with him when I was 16 and we got back together. He wants the baby, but I don’t know if I love him and I would be trapped with him if I have the baby. He’s already got another child and he wants me to look after the child as well as mine once I get a place of my own. But that would be waaay too much for me to cope with. I can barely come to terms with looking after my own child. I don’t agree with abortion. Every time I think about aborting my baby, I feel like crying so much. I don’t know if I can live with myself aborting my own baby, but I also feel like it’s my only choice.
I really need some advice from someone desperately as I’ve booked an abortion appointment on Saturday but I still don’t know what to do.
Baby Dust
Wanting, hoping, waiting, and praying.
To have a little one to call our own.
Getting tired of trying and failing.
Just want to make our house a home.
When is it going to be our turn for a baby?
There is this emptiness in completing our family,
This is really driving us crazy!
Maybe one day it will be our time for joy,
Until then we must stay strong and keep hoping
Please pray for us and sprinkle that baby dust upon us!
I’m 21 years old…and I never thought this would happen.
I’m so nervous. I’m so confused. I don’t know if I can keep it…or if I should abort it. I know it all comes down to MY decision.. but I’ve never felt so lost before in my entire life. My boyfriend says he supports me in whatever decision I happen to make… but would rather me have an abortion. The cons outweigh the pros it seems. I’m scared I’ll regret the abortion.. but I’m scared I’ll get into the pregnancy and regret that as well. I’ve never really agreed with abortion… I guess cause I’ve never had to consider it before… I feel selfish for even THINKING about it. My emotions are everywhere.. ugh What to do… What to do…. ??????
Hi girls, I am not pregnant.
I signed up for this site because my final project in health is all about teen pregnancy. I did come from a teen pregnancy. My mother was my age when she gave birth to me (16). She kept me and went back to school. She had lots of support from my grandparents, and my father for a little while. He is no longer in the picture. I want to know if some of you are willing to share some of your experiences with your pregnancy and ideas on what you want to do with your baby and if you’re going back to school. Please write me back within the next couple days!
If you want to know more about my mom’s story and how she raised me and stuff, ask me your questions and I’ll pass them on to her. She will be more than willing to answer them for you!
Dear baby,
I’ve grown so attached to you, I think about you non-stop, I dream about you, and I always want to buy you stuff already lol, but maybe it’s just me that thinks it may be a possibility that God won’t let me have you? ugh I want to cry, I want to scream, I never know what to do but all I can do is think about you, but still in the back of my mind every time I start slipping or forget to take a vitamin, I think I’m going to lose you. So I panic and I sit and wait until I have enough faith to believe you’re there. I cry reading people’s stories of losing their babies. The Lord knows I don’t EVER want to lose you. Daddy doesn’t either. You’re something very precious, oh so precious to me. Please little baby, never give up. Anytime you feel you can’t push on any longer, just give me a tap and I’ll make a way, but I’m begging you, never leave me.

Hi! I’m 20 and I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant.
I haven’t had my period in 2 months. I’m too scared to get tested, too scared of the results. I’ll never see the ‘father’ again; I don’t even know him. I smoke a lot. I drink a lot. I’m studying. I’m selfish. I don’t want a baby. I know what I do want, but I know that it’s not right. I don’t think I’ll be able to say goodbye if I were to adopt it out. Even worse, my ex-boyfriend will be getting out of jail soon. If he were to see me pregnant with another man’s baby, he may quite literally kill us.
My family would support me. They’ll be angry if I were to have an abortion, so only my best friend knows about my dilemma and I know she’ll support me either way, but is leaning toward the abortion side because she knows what I want. If I don’t decide what to do soon, my body will. But I mean, how do you decide to give up something like that?? I try to think of it as a clinical little fetus growing inside of me, not My Baby. Sometimes my mind will forget that though. I know I’ll be a good mum. I have things I desperately want to do before becoming a Mother. I want my baby to have a Father. My parents are retired, and I don’t want to make them bankrupt trying to support me and a baby.
I guess what I want is for someone to tell me that having an abortion is ok. That I will feel fine afterward. And life will carry on as normal. And I won’t carry around a terrible guilt that will lay heavy on my heart for the rest of my life. After reading some of the struggles these girls will go through to keep their baby, or the struggles after they’ve lost it, I’m left feeling confused. I know what I want, but I know that it’s not right!
