I have a daughter your age and if this happened with us, I’d hope she’d be staying with me, too. Just to know my daughter was safe and her baby. But, if she were in a healthy relationship, and the alternative just made sense, I’d support her decision. Bottom line, you’re 18, this is ultimately your decision. Lay out the reasons you feel their home is the best alternative and hold firm. Know that any reluctance on their part is out of love. Be open, be honest. Good luck to you all!
moving out ..
Currently I am 11 weeks pregnant I am 18 & my boyfriend is 20 we plan on getting married and to raise this baby in the best way possible. We are excited to be parents. I am still living at home, going to school and work. He is still going to school and work and living at his parents house. We agreed it would be better if I move out and move in with him since his it’s just him and his parents. They have 2 extra rooms they don’t use, my bfs work is much closer, also my school is as well. VS. us living at my house it’s my parents, 2 sisters, aunt and cousin. There would be no room for us . Yeah we would make it work but it would be too much. The location from my school and his work would be way to far. I don’t know how to truly convince my parents this is the best option without them getting offended .. I love them to death. But I know this is what’s gonna be best for us. Plus my house is only 15-20 min from his . It’s not a drastic amount of time . I’m the oldest and I know my parents will refuse to let me go ... I need to be firm and let them know this is what’s best and I’m hoping you guys can help me out on what I can say so I can assure them everything will be okay

I thought the same thing about my parents when I got pregnant but they understood. I would just state how you guys would have more room, you would be closer to work and you’d be able to be parents together instead of living separately. I’d just make sure to visit them a lot during pregnancy so that you spend quality time together because once the baby is born it might be harder to go out. Overall moving in with your boyfriend makes the most sense and you’re an adult now and a mother... you can make your own decision without any force.
You do you, Just hope they don’t kick you off their insurance plan. I would recommend applying for Medicaid to help with costs of pregnancy regardless, also make sure to have your medical bills forwarded to your new address 👍🏻 Seriously the last thing you want is for you to get a nice stack of bills right before they are due lol that’s literally the WORST
One word of advice, wait two years to get married. Be engaged and happy and in love, but you’re only 18 and there is no need to rush. The best way to prove your love is to be together. Marriage can come once you’ve both grown (and you grow a TON between 18 and 20, not to mention 25) and that way you can know for sure it’s what you want for your life. Because it is a life choice.
