It isn't about what he wants, it's about what you want and what you think is best for you and this baby.It's your decision and your decision alone. If he doesn't support your decision then he isn't worth being in your life or your kids life.Im 15 and almost 4 months pregnant and people pressured me from day one that I am too young and I wont finish high school and that an abortion is the only way, im glad I didnt listen to any of em, I wouldnt change a moment in my pregnancy so far and I plan on finishing high school by being homeschooled. Its your body and your baby, nobody else can know whats right 4 either of them except you.

Its Ur Choice
I know how you feel in a way I have two sisters who have had children. One kept her baby and the other gave her up for adoption. This is my personnal opion abortion is homicide. The sister that gave her daughter up for adoption says it hurts so bad but it was better than getting an abortion. So if you do not want a child then put the baby up for an open adoption so u can still see the child and nobody will die

All I have to say is never do something that you wont feel comfortable with just for a guy. There are other things you can do if you know/feel you cannot care for a child. Like open adoption. Dont get an abortion just because thats what your ex wants. Hes just trying to take the easy way out.

Just reading whta you said made me cry (as pathetic as it sounds) cause I remember going through the exact same thing..You cant let anyone tell you what to do because that baby is inside your stomach not theirs and if you choose to keep him/her then its completely your responsibility... Even if the dad is around your their main parent unless you live with him. I found out I was pregnant when I was 12 weeks along and where I live the latest you can get an abortion is 12 1/2 weeks... I had only a couple of days to decide and it broke my heart completely because im against abortion but carters (<-thats my baby!! :lol: ) dad was trying to make me get an abortion...The final decision came for me when I was in the shower crying like i've never cried before thinking horrible things and carter kicked for the first time.. It was just amazing so make the decision on your own whether its by looking at your life and deciding if you can pull through for that baby or if its by searching the internet.. Just dont let anyone else tell you what to do cause its not their business

Simply ask yourself if you will be able to emotionally handle that someone removed your child and that you will always have the extra weight of knowing that your baby is not with you, but dead. I'm not trying to be offensive, but when I was pregnant I resented the fact that I was going to be a mom until I thought I had lost my baby. This baby will be a part of you forever, whether you have him or not, and how you cope with it is up to you. You'll always regret anything you submiss to when you are not confortable with it.

My baby's daddy wanted me to get an abortion when I was a month or so pregnant and I was going to because I loved him? But I didn't and yes he got mad but you know what she makes me happy and oh no wait she went into the rest room hold on..... Okay well she's a handfull but if it wasn't for her I would not be the person I am now so don't get ride of the baby inside of you just because your b/f doesn't want it I was 16 as well and had her 1 week before I tunred 17 but she's my angel... So do what you think is best forget about what ur b/f thinks listen to your heart I did and this is what they told me... " god doesn't bless you with something you can't handle"

I got pg @ 15 and my bex told me dat he wanted to have a baby so I got pg and it was all wonderful until one day that he desided to leave us but u konw wat u dont need a guy to b with u and your baby their all bunch of sweet spots that like to leave babies laying around and cant act like men and take care of their responsibilities but anyways u shouldnt have an abortion bc having a baby is the most wonderful thing not just bc u love him doesnt mean u going to lose some one better.But its your decision so think about it the most u can

My boyfriend broke up with me as soon as I told him I was pregnant. He tried to tell me to get an abortion but thats just something I do not believe in. If u think it would be the right thing for u, do it...But if u dont think thats whats right for you, dont. You do what you feel is the right thing. Not what he wants. You need to be thinking about you and your child...Dont worry about what he says. You make the final decision...

i am so glad a thrilled to hear all you girls stories on how you got pregnant so young, but were so mature in thinking of someone else..your baby, there are tons and tons of families out there that are not able to get pregnant, and wait years for a baby, if you decide you cant keep the baby, or do not want the baby, please give the baby a chance at life with someone who will love them as their own, i know were adopting our son this sat, and we cant wait. we love him so much, and i thank God for the woman who gave him to me.
