My BF doesn’t want my baby and wanted me to abort but I knew from the start I could never go through with an abortion. But i was so scared of being a single mum, like my mum was. But then something was wrong, I panicked and rushed to the docs who sent me for an ultrasound. I was so scared and I knew then if the baby was ok I was meant to bring her into this world. So I lay on the table waiting for the news which would change my life either way. Finally the words I was waiting to hear were voiced

Hi Becky,

I just wanted to email you and say what an amazing site this is, it has really helped me to decide what to do. Im 18 and i am nearly 7 weeks pregnant and despite everything I know im keeping my baby. My BF doesnt want my baby and wanted me to abort but I knew from the start I could never go through with an abortion. But i was so scared of being a single mum, like my mum was. But then I started to bleed, I panicked and rushed to the docs who sent me for an ultrasound. I was so scared and I knew then if the baby was ok I was meant to bring her into this world. So I lay on the table waiting for the news which would change my life either way. Finally the words I was waiting to hear were voiced “Your baby is just fine” It was as though those 5 words made the world just that little bit brighter.

I hurried home and called my BF, I just couldn’t wait till he finished work. I told him I hadn’t miscarried and that this was my baby and he could be involved or not. He was angry and upset, he said we would discuss it at home. The current situation is that my BF and I aren’t together but we aren’t broken up. We still talk on the phone near everyday and we meet on mutual ground, like for coffee or lunch but I dont go to his and he doesn’t come to mine, that feels to personal, plus I don’t want to be tempted to sleep with him because that would just feel awful because of the fact that he doesn’t want his baby im carrying. So one day we might be together again, perhaps when he gets used to the idea of being a father and shows that he can provide for both me and his child. Until then im better off alone. I just thought i’d share my story because I want other women to see that they do have a choice, don’t be afraid to be alone, there is so much surport for young mothers now days, I know if I had, had an abortion I never would of forgiven myself.

Thanks Becky!

love Lara xx
