hi, i fell pregnant in feb wen i was 17 and i was in exactly the same situation as you. i was jst in the middle of my A-levels my boyfriends 23 but had jst started a new job and it was goin really well for him n having a baby was the last thing we planneed even tho our relationship is perfect.
i had planned to have an abortion and had booked the oppointment even tho we were both becoming more excited at the idea tht i was pregnant but as it turned out i had a miscarriage and it was the worst time of my life and i would do anythin to have the baby we lost back and i hate the fact tht i even considered having an abortion and we are now begining to plan for a baby and i am so excited.
i understnad completly the situation tht u are in, its the most confusing thing in the world but i would try n follow your heart rather than your head. things do turn out ok xx

yay . see hun what did i tell ya a lil work and he soon cazme round yay really happy for you hun. well what names do you like. shoot some at us and we will tell you what we think

[Sarah-Jane]

We can't agree on any! lol
We want one with meanin behind it (and we're both crazy football fans and want to name the LO after a footballing legend if a boy!) but the thing is, my OH is a Manchester City fan and I'm a Liverpool fan so the choice there doesn't really help haha.
I think we're edging towards Ellie-Rose for a girl, there's no meanin behind it at all but it's the first name we've agreed on lol
Any ideas?

Hi, I am late reading this post, I just joined. I have read through the entire thread and can relate to much of what you have said. I was 17 and in college when I fell pregnant with my first child. I am nearly 25 now. I went through all the emotions you have described and came damn near to having an abortion, but the moment I found out I was pregnant it was like a little invisible cord went from my heart down to the tiny little life inside of me and bound it, tight. My daughter is 7 next year and I cannot for one second believe my life would have been better without her despite all the misgivings I had originally.
I finished college, it was tough, but I did it anyhow. I think my daughter gave me more motivation to do so. Theres alot of schemes put in place by the goverment to help younger Mums now and many colleges do cater for mums, with childcare on campus ect.
I am no longer a teen mum, but we are due around the same time, and once upon a time I was in a situation very similar to yours, pm me if you ever want to chat.
Remember, there is no right or wrong time to have a baby. If we allwaited for the perfect time to become pregnant then very few of us would ever have a baby!
Good Luck!

Having a child wont ruin your life it can only enahnce it but if your having serious doubts then please please for your own sake, talk this over with someone close to you, that you trust, dont make any reash decisions you may regret later on in life

Okaaay.
Just ignore everything I said now, apart from it being entirely your choice.
All I want to say now is congratulations
I feel bad for saying all that coz I spoke to soon lol, but yh it was just my opinion.
Anyways best of luck for you and your boyfriend and your baby
Im gunna keep reading for updates I hope You Don't mind

Lol no worries, I've got a habit of speaking too soon haha
Thanks for your opinion anyway I know it's going to be hard and a big struggle but I really do think we'll manage and after alot of thought, I couldn't go through with an abortion, it would cause both me and my boyfriend far too much heartache. We're both working our arses off at the moment to save up lol.
I know 10months doesn't seem long enough to be together to have a baby but we're mad about eachother, have been since the moment we met. I had alot of family problems going on when I met him and he was just really supportive and he was the only one there for me so it was like he's my best mate as well as my boyfriend sorry about the cheesy woffle
Course I don't mind you reading for updates
Thanks

Sweetie, me and my OH had only been together for like 8 months before I fell pregnant. It may not seem like a long time, but I knew that no matter what, even if we broke up, that he would make an excellent father.
I think sometimes you just know.

You need to seriously think about what your going to do, if you don't really want an abortion then you need to look at other options, don't do something u'll regret.

Good - Luck
