Pregnant!
Have you talked with anyone about this? Have you spoke with your dad in length about this responsibility? I'm sure he knows what it is cracked up to be. Make the decision that is best for you and your baby. Your boyfriend doesn't sound like much of a boyfriend if he is making you choose between him and the baby. He probably wouldn't of stayed anyway, sounds like to me. Don't mean to judge but, been there done that.
Just know that whatever decision you choose is yours and yours alone. Know matter what, it will be hard but, there are people along the way to help you out. Check out all of your options with parenting your baby, ie: state aid, WIC, etc. there are alot of resources out there for pregnant and single parenting mothers. Also check out the options for open adoption if that is what you want or are considering. There are pros and cons to that also, in my experience it has been up and down and the emotions are sometimes hard to deal with but, it has gotten better.
My step daughter who is 19 is pregnant and I asked what she was going to do? I said abortion, adoption or keeping? She said noway to adoption because of watching me go through the emotions and tears that I have shed. She said for her it would be to hard for her to deal with. I support her no matter what choice she was to make. Adoption is for good for some and not so good for some.
Take your time, don't be rushed. Make an informed decision this is a very serious decision that no matter what will change the rest of your life.
Please feel free to PM me and keep me informed. Take care of yourself and have a great holiday weekend.
