Posts: 1
Hi,
I've just found out that i am pregnant and i have two loved ones pulling me in either direction. I have my fiance who wants to keep the baby and i have my mother (who no matter what i decide will support me) who wants me to get rid of it.
Im only 17! The father is 18 in a full time well paid job and i am half way through my college diploma. What do i do? I am being pulled in two diffrent directions and really i am no good at life altering decision making what do i do? I need some advice from both girls and boys!

Birth Control doesn't work 100% of the time. Why have you all just assumed that there wasn't any birth control in this case?

There is no point in telling this girl that she should have used birth control because whats done is done.

If it was me (which it wouldn't be) then i wouldn't have the baby because there is too much i want to do with my life. However when push comes to shove i don't think i'd go through with it. Especially as you have support which direction you turn and you have a serious relationship.

Do what you think is best!

I am a mum to 1 lil baby and i know that you are the only one that can make this decision. Its important you do what is best for you. Listening to other peoples points of view may make it harder for you. So all i am going to say is follow your heart.

All the best in what ever you decide. Just do not let anyone pressure you into doing whats they thinks right. Do it for yourself.

It's your choice, in the end only you can make the decision and you can't be pushed either way, you have to do whats best for you.
Whatever you decide make sure you get the support you need.
What do you want ?

Hi I have 3 children, all girls, all a worry. The mistake has been made now so Its your choice. Not your boyfriends or your mothers. Your mother will only want what is best for you, so dont be to hard on her. You can still get your education and have a child. It will not be easy but woman can cope with loads more than men. Saying that, If you go to college who will look after the baby. You have to way all this up. Try talking with your Mother more. Im sure you will find she will Help more than this forum.

Ok, I'll give some actual advice.

An ex-girlfriend of mine got pregnant (some other guys, not mine) and she went ahead and had the baby, she's still going to college two days a week and looking after the baby the rest of the time, she relies on her mum to look after it now and again and as you've said your mum is supportive, I'm sure she'd do that for you too.

The girl's boyfriend has stuck with her throughout it and they're living together now, he's a year older than her and is working full time, like your's is, so I'm sure you'd be able to support a child. It depends on how far through your college diploma you are. How far along with the pregnancy are you? Perhaps you could take a year out of college and pick it up after the baby is born? - if you decide you want to. If you decide that you couldn't handle a baby then abort it, I'm against abortions personally and if you think it is just looking after the baby that would be bad then perhaps have the baby then allow a couple to adopt it; I think it is a more humane approach to the matter.

in the end though, it all comes down to your decision
