What should I do

Question

So I’m 16 years old and yesterday I found out I am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. The baby’s dad says he’s not ready for a baby because we’re too young and he’s about to go to college. I know I’m not ready for a baby and I know my family would not be supportive but idk. Something about the thought of getting rid of something that’s apart of me just does not sit right with me. I don’t know what to do. I love my life right now & I know keeping it would change both of our lives forever

Answer

Don’t listen to no one because it’s your decision

Answer

Having the baby is your choice. It's hard doing it with little support but if there is any part of you that wants him or her fight for it.

Answer

I was pregnant at 16 and for the sake of my child and myself I wish I would’ve at least done adoption. It was so incredibly hard..possible but I really had to grow up faster than all of my friends, miss out on a lot of things, I wished I could’ve traveled, went to a college, all in all more of focused on myself

Answer

If you don’t have supportive family or the baby’s father than I’d highly suggest adoption or abortion, whichever you’re okay with.  Yes, you could make it work, but  it would be very, very hard.  I’m a college student with a baby and this has been a stressful, exhausting experience, even with supportive family.
But also make sure you won’t regret it.  If you really, really want to keep your baby, you can do it.  Just understand you’re giving up the free life and childhood you had left.
Also, have a talk with your baby’s father.  Babies are pretty easily preventable and if he isn’t ready for one there are things that can be done.  And pulling out isn’t one of them.

Answer

It’s completely your choice. You have to make the decision for yourself however think about the baby. Are you financially stable to care for it? Are you ready to sacrifice all your time and choose your baby over everything else? Are you willing to get a job to make sure you can continue caring for it? Are you ready for the judgement of others when they see how young you are with a baby? Are you ready to have to spend tons of money and baby supplies? Are you ready for your parents to be unsupportive? Are you ready for your child to grow up in an environment where most likely they won’t like him/her (if you stay with your parents) are you ready for your bf to get upset at you and do crazy things because he doesn’t want a baby? You have to think about the baby too and the life it’ll get if you keep it

Answer

No one can tell you what you should ultimately do. I can tell you that you need to tell your parents.
