Hi,
My name is Danielle and I am 21 years old. i'm engaged to be married on Oct 24th of next year. I am 6 weeks pregnant and terrified. I don't know what to do or what I even want to do. I have talked to my fiance and he tells me hes not ready for a child but whatever I choose hes going to be supportive of the situation. I am thinking about abortion but i just don't want to have one, and at the same time I terrified to have a baby. I'm scared of what my family will think, I know they will be disappointed in me, ecspecially my mom. I don't have any one to talk to about this, I feel very alone. I am also starting to feel very sick and emotional as of late and its just making it worse. I'm just so scared of being a mother, I want to give my child the world and be a responsible parent but I'm scared I wont be able to accomplish that. I just need help, I feel torn in between the two options and I honestly don't know what to do. Can someone help please?

Thank you

What is happening to you is normal. I am also pergnant and feel like that to the only thing that is defrent with you and me is the dection you need to make as for that No one can make that choise for you. I to feel alone and scaird to be a mother but at the same time i can't wait.

Just take the time to think about what is best for you at this moment and what you think you can handle. Your scared of what my family will think of your being pregnant but they love you and Yes some mite not be happy at first but they will come around.

If you Ever just want to talk you can message me and i will be glad to talk with you.

Well i totally understand you , but honestly coming from a girl who did have an abortion like me , the advise i can give you is to have your baby , Dont think about other people because thats why i had my abortion, I understand that you dont want to dissapoint your family but its your life and can you live with the fact you had an abortion , its been hard for me but you have ur fiance who is going to be there for you , so its understandable your fear of being a mom but if you think about it nobody is really ready to be a mom ..!!!!!
