What should I do? (Read below)

Question

So I'm 20, unemployed, and in an amazing relationship. We have been together for 9 months, and I just took a (few) pregnancy test(s). Turns out I'm pregnant and idk what to do. My boyfriend said he is supportive and will always be there for me, but still hasn't told me what he wants to do. He just said he wants to talk about "options". Which there aren't many of them. Idk what to do. What do you think?

Answer

The choice has to be your own. And I know you love your boyfriend and all but this is going to be one of the hardest choices you'll make in life. I was pregnant at 22. My daughter is now 12. I was a single mom up until May of this year. My daughters father wanted me to abort and I considered it. When I decided to keep her, he stuck around for a bit but then was in and out of her life. I am so blessed to have her in my life and I am so greatful that I made that choice and didn't listen to him. You need to do what's right for you. And I also encourage you to find a pregnancy center near you. They'll help educate you and support you in whatever decision you make. Good luck sweetie!! 💕

Answer

I don't really think you should poll wether or not you should keep your baby....Thats a serious decision that you and the father of your child need to discuss. And you need to get a job if you are going to keep this baby. You should get a job even if you aren't keeping this baby honestly. You're 20. You need to get off this app and put some thought into your next move, whatever it may be.

Answer

Get Yourself Together. Get A Job. Moms Pull Through And Work Hard For The Child That Is Been Carried In The Womb.

Answer

I accidentally hit abort but I would never suggest that! There are many options for you that will allow your baby to be born and cared for even if it's by another family! My mom gave up two children because she couldn't be the mom she wanted to be and they grew up in their adopted homes and are such great people! I've heard women that feel guilty for life for aborting.

Answer

That’s a decision that only you can make. None of us can make it for you. You know your situation better than all of us so do what’s best for you.

Answer

This decision has to come from within you. Own it!!! Forgive yourself if necessary. Work through your own feelings. Do not passively allow a decision to be made for you.

Answer

Okay, since she didn't explain why she's unemployed can y'all stop making assumptions?? People can be too ill at only 20 to work (obviously just one scenario).

Answer

I know that you're looking for advice, but a poll on a public forum about something SO important, personal and controversial is probably not the best way to go.
That said, this is YOUR choice. Your boyfriend, friends, family and people on this forum cannot and should not make this choice for you. 
No matter what you decide, you have to go out and get a job. Any job will do. It may not be your dream job, but it can go on your resume and you can look for a better position while you're working. You have to be able to support yourself and know that whatever choice you make, you'll be ok.
I'm not surprised that your boyfriend wants to talk to you about options. You're doing the same thing here. You're lucky that he's not freaking out, many (lesser) men would be.
I really wish you the best. I've been in a position similar to yours. I made my choice and took the step - looking back, I'm confident in the decision I made and know that I did the right thing.

Answer

If your happy I. Your relationship and he seems supportive then why not keep the baby! I always told myself I'd never get an abortion but I'm 19 with 2 kids and I couldn't have another! So there is never a wrong choice just always make sure it's your own and either way you don't feel pressured into anything.

Answer

You don't wanna live a life of regret. Please remember a baby is always a blessing and never a mistake. Yes all women more that def have the power to choose. But based on my read of your word choice, you sound like you are open to the idea of the pregnancy and are going off of his decision. If he doesn't wanna be there then fine, he can give up his rights , but you, mama, get a job (any job is great) and so all you can for this baby and you. There are many government assistance programs that I would be more than happy to direct you to. I work for Medicaid, I can help you as best I can. Your decision is your decision. I hope you don't let him influence you. Follow your heart.
