I’m 17 from England. I’m new here and this is my story!

I have just found out I am pregnant 5 days ago. I’m only about five weeks. The day I told my boyfriend of two months, he finished me. I was so shocked it hardly even hit me till I got home. He told me he didn’t want the baby and I should get rid of it for the sake of my future.

I am still unsure, but after seeing some abortion pictures, I’m almost certain I’ll be keeping my baby no matter what. My ex has not been in touch since the day I told him. My family, luckily, are shocked but will support me no matter what. I’m currently looking into all my options before I tell people I’m keeping my baby.

I go to sixth form and am studying for my A levels. So tomorrow, I’m going to try and arrange for them to be took after the baby is born. I feel strong in myself but scared for people’s reactions, especially my friends, who I love to pieces. The whole baby thing doesn’t seem real. I have to keep reminding myself its happening to me.

Right now, I’m so confused about how my life is going to turn out. I’m going from a carefree teenager heading to uni to a single mother at 18. I have no idea what life will be like in a year’s time for me.
