I’m 15 and pregnant…

Emma

Me and my then boyfriend were active and I wasn’t on birth control. I didn’t want to talk to my mother about birth control knowing that it would be awkward and uncomfortable. My ex is a year older than me and was sexually active with two of his ex’s before me. So I thought he knew what he was doing, and every time before then he did good. We split up after I found out he cheated but then about a month/ month 1/2 I missed my period. My friend bought me a test and I took it the 11th day late on my period. It came back positive and I started freaking out. Most of the time I forget it’s even real but, it is and I don’t know how to tell my mother. In Arkansas it’s illegal to get an abortion but I know I can’t financially afford this baby nor am I ready to take on the responsibility for a child. My ex wants me to keep it, saying that he wants to be apart of its life and would love to raise a baby with me but I’m only 15 and he’s only 16. Idk how to tell my mom and I don’t know how I’m supposed to handle this situation.
