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!

Question: How the hell, with all the birth control that is easily available and FREE do you get pregnant?

And if you've got big career plans through your diploma, having a baby would pretty much feck all of that up.

For future warning: if some idiot called Forest Fan comes in here and starts shouting at you about abortion being evil, just ignore him. He's painfully childish.

I think you need capitals for the TAG's.

Meh.

To be honest I think you're crazy to be getting engaged that young, let alone having a kid.

However, I don't know any of your circumstances so what I think you shoudl do is worthless to you.

The important thing is not what you do, but whether you truly realise the full implications of either choice.

If you have the baby, you lose your freedom. You'll be forced at a young age to take on a responsibility you may not be ready for. On the other hand, in years to come you will feel like you wouldn't trade the child for anything (probably).

Do not listen to your mum. Don't listen to your fiance either. This is your decision, and most likely the biggest one you'll make. You have to put yourself first, it's your future. Think about what's best for you.

Whilst you shouldn't really take into consideration what people over the internet say, here are my thoughts...

Well, for starters do you love this guy? Is he somebody that you foresee being able to maintain a relationship with for the rest of your lives? Because ideally you'd like to have a kid with both a mother and father to be supported from, and a mother and father that are in love with each other.

But you've also got to take into account the fact that, if this relationship with your fiancé isn't going to work, or has little chance of working, it would probably best to abort. I for one would hate to be a kid without parents, so you sort of need to think ahead in the interest of the child in this case.

I, however, would recommend you keep the child, as if you and this guy are already planning to get married, and he has a decent amount of income to cope with this child, then it could work out even for the best. He seems keen to have it too, and you'd have probably got around to doing it sooner or later anyway, and you'd probably never forget it if you decided to abort.

But then again, I don't know all the complications of this. From the information I've been given I'd advise you to keep it, but you can't really just go on what some guy on a chat forum thinks, can you?

I really don't think that asking complete strangers over the internet is a good way to decide if you should keep your baby or not.
Think about it.
