Freshman in college, should I abort?

Question

I recently found out I’m pregnant and I think I’m about 4 weeks. I am a freshman in college and I had soooo much planned for me! The father of my seed wants me to keep the baby, he’s 21 and I’m 18.. we are not in a relationship , but we are dating/talking and have feelings for one another . I am not sure if he’s the person I see myself marrying tbh, but I have ALWAYS wanted a baby .. that’s why idk if I should keep my baby or abort it. Please help I have mixed emotions !!
EDIT: I’ve decided that I will be keeping my baby . I’ve always wanted a baby and I’ve always said I felt like I was put on earth to be a mother. I have all the support I need and a man who loves me in my corner. 💕 #TeamGirl

Answer

No one can answer that but you. Only you. You’re gonna get mostly ‘look into adopting’ comments or keeping.

Answer

if you're not sure about abortion, but don't want to keep the baby, or consider adoption.
if the father wants the baby sign all rights over and give the baby to him. 
it's your body and your choice, if you're not ready dont force yourself to be, especially when you're in college and not even dating the man.

Answer

I had an abortion when I was 16 and it hurts me every day. It’s haunted me ever since and I’d do anything to take it back. You’ll never regret looking into your baby’s eyes, but you’ll face the regret of knowing you could have and chose not to. It’s a difficult adjustment becoming a parent no matter the circumstances. I got pregnant again in college, had my daughter, graduated, had another daughter, got a master’s, then another one, and just had our third baby. God has blessed us with children, and I’m thankful every day for them, but I still think about the baby I gave up. You can accomplish big things with kids. In fact, they motivate me to be better every day. If you can find a relationship with God that will be what saves you no matter what you choose, because while I face the consequence of my decision I’ve also found healing and peace in Him. If you need to talk you can message me. ❤️

Answer

Give the rights to the father, children are blessings

Answer

I was a freshman when I found out I was pregnant with my first, yes it was most definitely hard and it may be taking me a little longer than I planned to graduate. But she is the biggest blessing in my life and I don’t care if it takes me 7 years to finish school seeing her smile is worth it.

I enjoyed being a mommy so much we even decided to have another one!

It is so worth it and when you hold that baby you’ll understand.

Answer

That's a decision only u can make..it is very possible to have a child n go to school..women are doing it all the time..its possible to have a baby n not be involved with the father..once u become a mother u work so much harder to provide..its all possible..if u dont want a baby right now i suggest looking into adoption..having an abortion can hurt ur chances for having kids in the future..im totally pro choice but in the sense that an abortion is only necessary in case of deformities, incest, rape...but just not protecting urself n ending up pregnant isnt super valid in my opinion..plus..i feel like u would probably just regret it..or it might haunt u..i had a miscarriage n it was devasting to me to think that i was pregnant n then i might not ever get the chance again..that wasnt the case but some women try so hard to get pregnant n cant..its really a miracle in most cases..just think long n hard about ur decision n make sure it's ur decision..again..this is all my own thoughts..not judging anyone

Answer

If you’ve always wanted a baby I assure you when you hold the little sweet soul when he/she is born you gain a type of love you’ve never felt before. My baby boy will be here in about 10 weeks and I have already formed an strong bond with him.  It may not be the exact timing for you but if you find a 21 year guy that wants you to keep the baby he will more than likely be helpful to you and love that baby. I hope it all works out, best of wishes!

Answer

Honey, no one has the right to say what you should do besides yourself. If you're unsure talk to your dr. They're professionals who have to give you all the information on all of your options. Only you can then use that information to decide what you think is best.

Answer

This is your choice and your choice alone. 
I think it’s admirable to consider the father’s opinion, but pregnancy can be hard and dangerous. It’s up to you whether or not you are willing to go through a pregnancy for a baby you aren’t ready for. 
An early abortion is not “killing a baby”. It’s just not. 
If you do choose to continue the pregnancy, that does not mean you need to be in any kind of a relationship with the father. Co-parenting is possible without a romantic or legal bond. 
In all transparency, I had an abortion about 4 years ago due to a medical concern. I do not regret it (I could have risked my life and it was almost a guarantee that the baby would not have been healthy and may not have survived), but I wish I hadn’t had to. I wish I had been healthy and in the position to have a baby. But I was also in the middle of my masters program, I lived with my mother and I didn’t have the means to support a child. My life would have been much, much harder had I had that baby, and the son I have now probably wouldn’t exist. I made the choice to end that pregnancy in the hopes of giving a future baby a better life - and I’ve succeeded in that. 
This is the most difficult choice you will ever make. If you choose to terminate, you will likely think about it for the rest of your life. But it is OKAY to choose yourself and your dreams. You will survive.
