hello, im 20 years old and im about 4-5 weeks pregnate not exactally sure. Me and this guy had unprotected sex and he came inside of me and now he is talking about that i should get a abortion or give it up for adopition he is 24, we both have stable jobs and are both going to school. he says either way he will support me being abortion, adoption, or keeping it he says he will still be here 100% but i know he dosnt want me to keep it but i dont know if i have the heart to get a abortion and i think that i couldnt do adoption especially after going threw the whole pregnancy, and its not like we are teenenagers he owns his own house and i have my appartment we would just have to make some adjustments with our budget and be ok but i feel completely pressured to get an aborton because he is saying that if we keep it we have to quit school and he will have to get another job and sell his house and move into my appartment. but really i think its him not wanting to accept his responisbilities he has gotten 5 other girls pregnate all of the girls either got abortions or gave it up for adoption. but at the same time i want to give my child the best and be 100% prepared for a baby financially and relationship wise.ugg i guess im just really confused of where to go form here i feel like if i keep it im holding him back form everything and basically trapping him but i dont think i have the heart to do somthing like that such as abortion or watch someone else raise my child any suggestions?

It sounds like you really don't want to get an abortion..then don't! don't feel pressure to get one. You have to do what is best for you. The guy doesn't have to move into your apartment. This decision will affect the rest of your life, and you don't want to be stressing your whole life away years from now wondering if you did the right thing. Plenty of people have babies earlier than expected and end up doing just fine. You will definately have to make some adjustments with school and your finances, but it can work out. Ask him again if he'll REALLY be there for you if you keep the baby. I think you should take a few days and clear your head, and think about what you really want. It's easy to get stressed when you have people pulling you in different directions. Good luck

sweetie, if u get an abortion your going to regret this for the rest of your life. This is 100% your decision, not mine, any other posters, or YOUR BOYFRIENDS. do one thing before you decide go to your local clinic or to your OB GYN, and ask for a ultrasound, look at your baby, than decide. My husband and i got pregnant with our son, a year and a 13 months ago he was born, while i was pregnant with him we were living in a shelter. This will be difficult, i guarentee that, being a mom being pregnant is hard, but what will be even harder is knowing that your son/daughter wasnt given the chance to know you, or the babys father, or live a life outside of your stomache. i'm here if you ever need to talk just let me know.
