So I'm 19 and I'm 7 wks pregnant now... I'm currently with my boyfriend and this baby wasn't planned but we didn't exactly take much precaution either. So me and my boyfriend got pregnant pretty early. We've only been together 3 months. However, we've known each other for years. And well we both wanted this baby but we didn't exactly plan for it to happen this soon.

My boyfriend is a sweet guy, he proven to me to be more caring and respectful than my past relationships which i love. The only thing is I'm scared how fast this relationship is moving.

He works out of state and only comes back home one week out, every month. And it's nice but he's very clingy and i get he's just trying to make the best of his time with me but it does become a lot.

Anyways since finding our we're pregnant, he's been making plans for me to move out with him, and for him to find a different job to be closer when the baby is born. He makes really good money so he is able to make this happen, however I've expressed to him how I'm not ready for all this. He's told me "you wanted a baby, what did you expect would come with it" and he's expressed how he doesn't want to do the co parenting thing and have the baby back and forth between us when she's born. Which i completely understand but i also don't feel comfortable with moving out yet, because if i wasn't ready before the baby, why would I be now? He's said I'm selfish and only thinking about myself, because he's willing to rent an apartment for me and the baby and he's willing to get a whole different job to be closer to the baby, but what am I willing to do? He said i haven't sacrificed or done anything for the baby so far.

And i completely hear him and i understand. He said if i want he'll even support me while i go to school. And me i am a server, i have a lot of days where i make good tips, but i also have bad days. I help my mom out with bills, like i help her out a lot. And it does hurt me when he says I'm selfish because it's only my mom, my sister, and I... I can't just leave them like that, i worry about them too. I understand i gotta focus on my baby now but it's not easy to know they'll be struggling if i leave. But i also know i eventually have to stop working while pregnant at some point, i don't think my mom will be able to maintain us (me and baby).

So i think it would be beneficial moving in with my boyfriend but this all feels overwhelming. I'm just lost on what to do. I understand things will change between us when the baby is born, not fully because i haven't experienced it, but i know it will happen. It's just all scary. And the reason i mention his clinginess is because sometimes it is too much for me. I'm the type of person that I really VALUE my space a lot. So him wanting to move in together, and then move back to be closer to the baby and i, it makes me nervous because i know space will be a problem. I've told him before I've had a problem with it and he said he'll work on it too when we move in.

It's like I'm 19, I'm not ready to be a house wife and act like we're married. Im afraid I'll lose myself. Even with the baby.

He is really a great guy and he tries, he puts in the effort. I just feel like sometimes he doesn't understand.
