I am 22 and found out I was pregnant at the start of the month after a drunken one night stand, I have been to the doctor and was refered to the hospital as I thought that an abortion was the best for everyone. However I was there today but I am not 100% convinced that I do want to go through with it, even though I dont think I could cope with a child as a single parent and I also dont want to speak to my parents due to the way it happened. All my friends have advised me that abortion is the best thing to do but even though it I know it is deep down I still have doubts.

If anyone has went through the same thing it would be great to hear from you as I really dont want to make a decision either way without considering both outcomes.

Thanks x

I am glad you are keeping your mind open because a unplanned pregnancy is very hard to go through.I was 15 when I had my first oops.The father who I gave my virginty to and was in a relationship with, wanted me to have a abortion.I thought about it but one of my best friends at that time told me she regrets it and has BAD nightmares from having one.She told me one of her nightmares that she has often and It was deep and very sad.I could tell she was torn apart and didn't want to make the same mistake.So on my own my by myself I decided to have my child.I told my mother and she told me it was my choice and she was there for me 100%.My mother was a single mom and raised two kids.My daughter was born 2 days after my 16th birthday and is really the best gift I ever received.Everytime I look at her I am so proud of myself.You think you love somebody you have no clue.I hope everything works out for you and I want to tell you If I can do it you can to.Just keep you head up and stand tall.

Hi,I also fell pregnant at the age of 22. I had been with my partner at the time for over 4 years but as the pregnancy wasnt planned the father left me. I went ahead & had my baby & it was the best thing i ever did. The dad changed his mind when my son was born & turned out to be a great father ( even though we never got back together he sees his son regularly & my son is now 10 ) But 8 years ago when my son was 2, i also fell pregnant after a one night stand. I had always said i didint agree with abortion but until you find yourself in the situation u dont know how u'll react. It was such a hard decision, the father wanted me to have a termination & although my heart didnt want to i had to think about the son i already had. I was already a single mum to him, & it just wouldnt have been fair on him. I wouldnt be without my son now, but also think often about the baby i choose not to have ( although deep down i know i did what was right for my son & the unborn child & for me ) I have been in the situation twice ( the 1st time i was on the pill the 2nd time the condom split ) The 1st time i chose to have my baby the 2nd time i chose not too. You are the only one who can make the decision. Maybe talk to a counsellor but my advice is not to go through with an abortion until your more sure than you are ( although you'll never be 100% ) You can listen to friends & they all mean well but none of them know what they would do until they are in the same situation. Hope this helps!x

Hiya, im going to give you *my* opinion so if i get jumped on hey ho loL! well i think an abortion would be the best route, if your going to be single.At 22 youve got plenty of time for kids when your married etc.also you have to think im asumeing as it was a one night stand you dont know the father. so hows the chid (and you) going to feel about that? its something to think about. i had an abortion 3 years ago, and being honest its the best decision i ever made, it might sound bad BUT i am now engaged to a lovely bloke whos already said he wouldnt have wanted to be with me with a child, also the dad was a ... head! i wouldnt inflict any child on him. so basicly if id of had it id of had no job,no money,no man,no car etx.babies are very very expensive these days and it doesnt just stop at prams etc, its food,clothing,keeping a roof over there head. Honestly id say have an abortion but its not my choice. i made my choice and firmly believe it was the right one, kind wishes xxx ill email u my msn address through here,add me if you wana speek more x
