Hi chick

I'm Kirsti. I'm 20 now but I had my little girl when I was 16. She was the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't change her for the world.
In my opinion, if you get pregnant unplanned then you should be prepared to handle the consequences! I also was a single mum until I met my now fiancee. It was very very hard work ( she was born 16 weeks premature ) I won't lie but I couldn't be happier. I do wish sometimes that I was with my friends, partying, at uni, working properly and seeing the world but seeing her face every morning is a million times better than all that put together
You can do it if you choose to. There is so much help and support out there for young single mums. There's nothing stopping you still getting a good job. I had Daisy after I left school yet I still went to college and I'm now a qualified hairdresser.
Even if bringing a child up is not for you at this time then there is still loads of support out there. Nobody will judge you at all. It's your body and your baby so do what you feel right.
Stuff the babies dad. He sounds a waste of space anyways. Daisy dosen't see her real dad and she dosen't care and neither do I. We're happy in a loving family home with my fiancee and we have another baby on the way

If you do decide to keep your bubs then keep coming on this forum. It saved my life.

Much love and best of luck in what ever you choose.

Hi hun

I can totally understand how you are feeling right now as I am pretty much in the same boat as you. My babys dad is saying the exact same thing but I have basically told him he is not going to force me in2 having an abortion, that I will make a decision on my own without him. We had only been seeing each other a few months and I slept with him once only which has lead to this baby whilst taking the pill religiously.

I would say to you do what is best for you hun,no1 else. It is your body,your life. Have you spoken to any of your friends/parents about it?? If not Id say your best to do this,I felt so much better once I had spoken to a few of my close friends. I have yet to tell my parents and I am crappn myself at the thought....scares me what they are going to think.

You are pretty late to be getting an abortion though if you are deciding on this...Im not sure of the cut of but the stage you are at im not sure if this is going to be an option.Have you been to your doctor yet,when did you find out??

Anyway hun I am here for you if you want to talk about things, take care of yourself.

Hi

Hiya, i really sympathise with you. all this to go through and on your own.
Have you told your family or friends? can they offer suport ?

I think you should have a good think about how you feel about becoming a mother, how you will financially support yourself and your child. Are you ready to give yourself fully to raising a child? What will your babies father do if you keep the baby?

I really recomend you research child care, pregnancy etc. Even read stories about young mums who have done it. 'standupgirl' is pretty good.

Good luck hun xxxx
