I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago and thought that abortion was the only option… until I found this site. Now I don’t know what I should do. I’ve always been against abortion, but I guess it’s different when you’re actually put in the situation. I have a totally supportive boyfriend who said will stand by me all the way no matter what decision I make but I’ve only been with the guy for 3 months. We’re in a difficult situation as my boyfriend is Muslim and if his family found out, they would blow a fuse.

Now, I need to make a decision about what I want to do, and I need to do it quick. I have my first consultation at the hospital on Friday. Since finding this site and reading some of the stories, it has become clear that there’s an awful lot of consequences that come with an abortion, and I don’t think I’m goin to be able to handle them emotionally. I haven’t told my family that I am pregnant; only my boyfriend and a close friend know about it.

I now know that I’m going the wrong way about this and need tell the people closest to me maybe it won’t seem as hard if I know that I have the support of my family.
