need some advice.

[Karaax]

I am 17 and been with my boyfriend for 2 years in august i am also 10 weeks pregnant and we both want to keep it.
the only thing is i have told my family and they are all dead set on me aborting it due to my age, they think i need to live my life more blah blah blah. it just seems that none of them know what i am going through i feel under so much pressure trying not to let anyone down. i went to the docs and he said to me its my choice no-one should force me into doing something i dont want to do.. its just so hard!
i am confused, upset and stressed.
my boyfriend's parents have said its my choice and they arent going to force me into doing anything i dont want to do, they are being really supportive.
my family are being really unhelpful and pushing me into something i dont want to do..
could anyone give me any advice?

It's your baby, your choice!

They can't make you do anything you don't want to do. Even if they're your family. It's totally your decision.

I think you'd make the right choice by keeping it! A baby's a blessing, there's no point to give away your baby just because it didn't happen at the right time.

Once your little one is here, your whole family will come around, trust me. There all going to want to see it and be apart of it's life.

All of us girls are going through what you're going through. So if you ever need someone to talk to, were here! I hope everything works out for you, it might be hard but so worth it.

Just so you know, we're not supposed to discuss the "a" word on here since it upsets and offends a lot of people.

But good luck with pregnancy and your decision. It's ultimately up to you.

Welcome and congrats

I'm Leah and im 17

I'm 27 weeks pregnant with a little girl due on october 28

Sweet heart its your choice wether you decide to keep it or not.

I know when I told my parents my dad didnt want me to keep it either. He wanted me to just get a "A". he changed his mind

they will eventually get over it at one point. you have your boyfriends family support. its not the same when its not your family but at least you have him and his family to support you.

PM if ya wanna talk

I was 17 when I found out I was expecting, and even though my family wasn't pleased, they were still supportive. My mum knew that there was the option of termination, but wouldn't say it to me directly, she just said "If you feel you won't cope there's things we can do" but I knew straight away that I wanted to keep my baby as I want him and love him so much. She has since confessed that she didn't want to pressure me into anything that would end up making me hate her in the future.

I don't know if it would work, but show your family this site, and explain to them that even though you're young, you are old enough to make your own decisions - exactly as all of us have done.

At the end of the day, it's your LO and it's your decision. I guarantee you, once you see your baby and hold him/her in your arms, you'll never regret your decision to keep it.

Hey

Don't let anyone push you into things, I know it might seem hard now, but it will be so worth it when you have your little one in your arms!

Best of luck to you x

I had a difficult time at first too, not that you'd know it now. My parents didn't try and force me to have an abortion i just really struggled with having to make such a major decision. Now about 18weeks down the line you would never have known i'd felt that way at ifrst. I'm so excited to be having a baby girl. Things will get easier hun..xx

Parents usually come around hunni!! Just tell them this is what u want to do & they cant stop u and that u would like their support!!

 

[Sophiiie]

Congratulations your family is probably just in shock, give them time and once they accept that you're happy...they'll come around to it xx
