You parents would come around. They always do. They love you and they'll love your baby. Just tell them. You might be suprised.

Welcome to BnB x

Go with what your heart wants! think it through carefully because its so life changing but it is the best thing in the world.

I'm 16 an having a baby an i wouldn't go back on my decision if i ever had the chance to because hes my baby! i can still do most the things i wanted to before i got pregnant like finish school, start college an still be able to go out with my mates an stuff.

Think it through carefully both with you + talk to your OH about it. xxx

Hi sweetheart.
Firstly I would like to say that it is totally YOUR CHOICE whether or not you decide to keep this baby, and nobody else can tell you what you should do. And your boyfriend may be against abortion, but he's not the one who will be carrying the child, or looking after it mainly. Also, don't mean to sound horrible, but you haven't been together long, and you can't be sure that your relationship will survive. Would he still support you and the child? These are all things you need to think about.
However, if you do want to keep this baby then there is penty of help available to you. Even if your parents did kick you out, you could still get help from your local council housing dept, or from social services, as at your age you are seen as having a priority need for help with housing.
It may not be very nice where you are put at first, e.g temporary accommodation, but once you are 18 you are eligible for your own permanent flat. Alternatively, you could be offered a place in a supported housing project for Mother's and babies. Many of these are very nice, and often you have your own self contained flat, and support from a trained worker, on a regular basis. I myself am a youth housing officer, and work with many teenage Mums.
I wish you lots of luck, and hope you are able to decide for yourself what you really want to do hun. xx

p.s. If you want any further help or advice then please feel free to send me a personal message and I will try my best to help in any way that I can.xx
