Hi,
I hope you are okay, it is a scary place to be when you are so young, I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant with my son, I was okay with the idea until I got confirmation, then WOW did I freak.
I thought my parents would hit the roof (we were living together) but they were great, talk to your family.
Take a while for a bit of a breather, you will come to the right decision for you, you cant make it for your partner, although I truly hope he supports you in what ever you do, but in the end it is your body and you need to decide, there is no right or wrong answer, just what you are able to cope with at this time of your life.
I went on to finish a certificate in aged care (1st was a baby), then my enrolled nursing at TAFE when my second was 9 months old, back at TAFE now doing drug administration a six month course, and planning to start Bachelor of Midwifery next year.
I am not trying to convince you that it will be all roses and tulips, but if it is really what your passion is you can find a way.
Your reaction and even your boyfriends reaction right now is really very normal...
I tried to talk on MSN but she never answered. I hope everything is okay!
We're having a meet up on July 22nd, we'd love you to come and hang out, whatever you have decided to do. You could no doubt use the support either way!
You might want to get access to more private forums, it is totally your choice and we will respect that. k?
For what its worth, not everyone regrets a termination. Mine has never affected me adversely - it was the right choice for me at the time. I still know it was the right decision.
Hey kobeh, just thought I'd pop in and say hi and wish you all the best!
I'm 19 and pregnant with first bub, unplanned too. I'm also currently doing first year uni and I'm also still on my 6 month probabation period for a really good job! I still live at home and don't have much financial back up, so I guess you could say it could have come at a better time! I'm finishing this year at uni and then taking a break for a semester or 2. My uni also has childcare facilities which is a bonus! What uni are you at? I know what you're going through and I hope you make the right choice for YOU! Also, you live really close to me - if I'm not at my boyfriends place in Malvern East, I'm at my mum's in Mckinnon which is just a suburb away! If you ever want to talk, add me to msn: h.mcbride@hotmail.com
If you decide to keep the baby, Iknow you can do it - although my boyfriend is sticking by me, I can still imagine how hard it would be to do it alone. My dad left my mum when she was pregnant with her third and she had me and my brother already - both under 2 yrs! It's so much harder for us girls to make a decision, as it's our body and whatever your choice it will stick with you. You have to make sure that it's all worth it. My sister had a termination only this year - at her boyfriends demands and now she's not even with him (they had been together for 2 years). I'm still yet to tell her about my good news, as she's still so fragile.
Just letting you know you're not alone - it's a common situation! Please when making your decision, make it for you not for anybody else. There is heaps of support on here as you can see
