My bf mum had 2 babies at 17 my sister had her first at 17 and they were scared and had these same concerns, if you have supportive friends or family Im sure they will be there for you.
Personally I dont agree with abortion but I have never been in a situation were it would cross my mind. Fortunatley in the uk we have the nhs an a benefit system that helps people who work on a loe wage out. I would really suggest talking to as many people as you can for advice but only you can make that choice in the end as it was you who made this baby. I hope you get the guidance you need. X

I really encourage you to go to your local pregnancy help center and talk to them. Being pregnant really doesn't cost much money, it's the deliver that does. The pregnancy help center should be able to go over options with you for adoption and abortion, though personally I would encourage adoption. There are MANY MANY agencies all over the country that can help you. My husband and I just had our 2nd baby and are thinking of adopting in a few years. There is no shame in trying to give your child a better life, even if it isn't with you. However, I also encourage you to keep the baby to see if you decide to keep it. We women are strong, and the natural bond we have with our babies is strong. I have no doubt you could make it work, but it's okay if you don't want to and are scared. Get some info, and please don't make any sort of decision you will regret without talking to someone who can help.

I agree with estone. Sounds like you need professional counselling. I understand you really young but.... Woman on this site have been trying to get pregnant for a long long time and a lot of us have lost many babies in the past. The word abortion does not go down on this site. If you need pregnancy advise we are all totally here to guide and support you and answer any questions you may have. But saying you don't have the money to have an abortion.
It sounds like you have the support of your friends and family but if you choose to give up your baby there's other options beside termination. As you will of seen on the ultrasound you had your baby has a heartbeat.
You should definitely speak with someone who specialises in teen pregnancy and your Mum.
It's a tough situation for you so young and I wish you luck in making the right choices for you and your baby.

I would recommend seeing a therapist? Someone to talk to, as you are going through so many changes and being pregnant is no cake walk. Your hormones make you even crazier. If at the end, you feel that you cannot support the baby, you can always give him/her up for adoption too. Good luck to you.
