Hi, im aged 18, and almost 18 weeks pregnant but i dont know if i should keep the baby. I havnt told my parents i really dont want them to find out. I live at university and studying fulltime.

I havnt told any friends yet, but recently two of them have passed comment asking me if im pregnant or put any weight on, ive even had to buy new bra's ive gone from 34b to almost 34d!

I havnt told anyone because im scared of what they'd say about who i slept with. It was near christmas time out clubbing with friends, i hadnt had any sex for three months and i wanted some fun so before we went out i made sure i took a condom with me. There was this guy who was flirting with me, we went for a walk outside found a quiet place, and just as he was about to do 'it' i said let me put the condom on but he didnt want it i said im not on the pill he said he would pull out. I didnt get the morning after pill because... long story, stupid i know, i just thought because we were only doing it for probably about 5 minutes then theres nothing to worry about as he pulled out. I meen ive had sex lots with an ex boyfriend where he pulled out and i never got pregnant.

All i know about him he's name is Tom, said he was 29 but he looked like 25, and lives like 50 miles away. We really liked each other he did ask for my phone number but he hasnt yet called.

If i keep the baby he/she will just have a mum but no dad, which seems sort of cruel, same if i have an abortion. Im not sure if i could put it for adoption, every day that goes by im starting to realise more how special this is for me.

My heart really wants to keep the baby, but my head says no. What will i tell people when they ask where is the father, i cant tell them the truth id be branded a slut etc which im really not! Just my hormones was driving me crazy at the time.

If i keep the baby, what help would i get from benefits? Ive heard you can get a small house and get a comfortable amount of money from benefits.
 
Sorry but i am 18 weeks pregnant and i think it's completely unacceptable to be thinking of abortion now.

BnB doesn't support abortion so this thread will be locked. I suggest you using some contraception in future.

Sorry this is so blunt but as i am 18 weeks pregnant, it sickens me that anyone could even consider it.

I hope you make the right decision.
 
I didnt even know it was an option at 18 weeks!?

Im sorry Laura but as you have said yourself, you made a mistake, it was silly, but now you have to live up to what you did. You will get help from the government, check the Direct Gov website if you are in the UK.

If you decide you dont want a baby please think about adoption instead, so many women would do ANYTHING for a baby but cant have one.

I hope you make the right decision x
 
Doubt they would let you have an abortion at 18 weeks without a serious medical reason. Chances are baby may even breathe for a couple of minutes before it's left to die :sick:

I'm not sure that you are going to get many sympathetic reponses to be honest, and i would probably get your self checked out for any STI's now as you have had unprotected sex with a random person.
You had a condom and chose not to use it!! sorry but that is just idiotic to think it wouldnt matter.

While BabyandBump tries to remain pro-choice on most subjects, out of respect for majority of our members that are either trying to conceive, or pregnant, we ask that you do not discuss topics on abortion and terminations.

Please feel free to make another thread asking about what help you are entitled to:)
I think the best thing you can do is tell your parents, they may surprise you :hugs:
