Help?! Torn on what to do!

Question

I just found out yesterday (1-6-17) that I'm pregnant. I believe I'm around 5 weeks. My boyfriend and I are split on what to do and I feel alone. He is leaning towards wanting me to get an abortion and I don't know if that's what I want. While he says he would be supportive no matter what, I feel alone in my wanting to keep it.

It's difficult, because we live in his mom's house while I'm finishing up school. I graduate in May and again in December and his job is alright but definitely could not support a family of 3 living on their own. I don't want to live here forever and I don't want to be more of a burden on my MIL. I feel like I'm ruining our lives and Idk if I feel this way or my boyfriend has made me feel this way.

I'm so torn and I have so many thoughts and emotions swirling around in my head. Please give some insight if you have some. On one hand I'm scared and disappointed, but I'm also excited about all the wonderful things that come with pregnancy and motherhood. Thanks for reading.

Answer

Sounds like you have made your mind up hun and are only torn on not wanting to disappoint those around you. Wishing you luck with whatever you decide just remember you are the one who needs to live with your choice and you are not ruining anyone's life by choosing what you feel is right. Gl hun😚

Answer

You have to do what is right for you. I just found out that I'm pregnant, and it took us almost 2 years and 1 round of Clomid to conceive. For some people it's easy and for others it's difficult. I know that I blamed myself for various reasons and carried so much guilt for our infertility. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I had previously had an abortion. I'm 30 by the way, and definitely ready, so it's easy for me to say. I don't know what decision I'd make if I were younger and in a tough situation. I don't envy your position. I hope that you do what YOU want and don't get pressured into anything. I'm not sure if you are a believer in God,  if you are I offer my prayers. If not, just know that you are still in my thoughts. Good luck.

Answer

Keep your child. Kids grow just fine in the most difficult situations.
That baby didn't choose to be there, yall made that decision.
All the best 💚

Answer

Just sit down with your bf and really discuss the pros and cons of each option. Come up with a plan to go along with each option. If you keep it y'all will do this and etc. Hope this helps hun💕

Answer

You have to choose the decision that you can live with. It doesn't matter if it inconveniences anyone else. I had my first daughter at 16. My mother tried her hardest to get me to have an abortion. Her father was a drug dealer and a compulsive cheater but I decided to keep her and do it on my own. My baby girl is now about to be 11 and I'm so glad I didn't listen to my mother. I am now 27 own my own business and I am expecting my 6th child in June. You can still do everything you want with your life. Yes,  it will be slightly harder. But never as hard as the regret you will have to live with if you get rid of a child you actually wanted.

Answer

Well I lived with my MIL for over a year. When my husband found out I was pregnant he was working as a janitor at a university not a lot of money. We were so excited and scared bc how could we support this child! Let me tell you my husband stepped up, he went to trade school for truck driving got his CDLs. He was determined to do better by us! It was such a struggle but we did it! We're finally settled doing in our own home with a new baby on the way! It's sounds like you have your mind made up and that he'll support you no matter what! Luck good with your decision.
