I have gone through the same thing. I
could not have an abortion, it just wasn't
the right thing for me. But you need to
think about this. A baby is a huge change
in your life you need to be financially
and emotionally ready. You are going to
be responsible for another life. If you
don't feel your ready and don't want to
have an abortion you could give the baby
up for adoption. Keeping my baby was the
only choice for me. I made the mistake of
getting pregnant way too early, but it
turned out to be the best mistake ever.
You have to give up a lot, but in return
you get something that you love more than
anything in the world. In the end you
need to make the decision that feels best
to you. There is not much that anyone can
tell you, and it is different because it
is your life that is changing not ours.

Aborton or not? Posted: 07-29-03 16:29pm
Dear Vanilla,
I know the world can be cruel, and you
were delt a bad hand, but now you have to
deal with it. I think you should have the
baby. Even if you do not keep it, you
should not have an abortion!!! Give the
baby up for adoption if you do not think
you can handle the responsibility.

I'm also 17 years old, and I am 22 weeks
pregnant. I just went to the doctors for
the first time yesterday and was really
scared. when I first found out I was
pregnant I didnt know what to do, or how i
was going to tell my parents or family. I
know exactly how you are feeling, but as
it is we are not the same person and no
one else can make this deceision for you.
I chose to keep my baby because I feel my
boyfriend and I are ready to take on this
responsibility.only you can determine if
you feel ready to take care of the angel
you have been sent, but if your looking
for an opinion.......even if you are not
ready to take care of your baby, you
should let someone who is ready take care
of it for you. I dont think you should
terminate your pregnancy but i cant make
the decesion for you. It is one that will
change the rest of your life. Good luck
and congratulations

Both girls that are pregnant and 17.. This
is one of lifes things you must deal with.
unfortuantely it was planned and perhaps
alittle early. Dont let this stop you! You
can have a baby and still succeed in life.
There are grants and loans that will allow
you to still support your child and go to
college. My advice to you and your baby is
to make something of your life. If not for
yourself for the child you carry. Contact
your local technical college and see what
they can do for you. Finish high school
and make it in this world..

don't abort! Posted: 07-29-03 23:57pm
Amen daleandtina and haley0308! The
rewards of having your own child are
greater than anything in life. Not to say
that rewards come without price, but, in
nature, a mother cares so much about her
child. I think that once you see the baby
in your arms as you hold him/her, and as
your baby's eyes gently glance at yours,
you will know in your heart that you will
love and cherish that child forever.
Nothing will mean more to you at that
moment. A child is a gift from heaven I
believe, and the glory of motherhood is
awaiting you.

i was 13 when i was pregnant and thourght
about abortion ut i could never do it.
I thourght that the baby will grow up with
a family that is not really theres and
would never know the proper parents.

Hey There.. Posted: 10-03-07 15:13pm
Well its your decision on what you want to
do.. I will give you a suggestion though..
Why don't you think about placing your
baby for adoption instead because there
are plenty of people out there in this
world that would love to be parents or add
to their families. You can have an open
adoption and you would be able to see how
your child is doing and maybe visit them
too.. There are other options out there
besides aborting.. I just though I would
let you know.. If you want to know anymore
on adoption I would love to answer any
questions that you have just send me a
email.... Thanks.. I wish you the best of
luck and hopefully you really think about
what you want to do, you can't take it
back once it's done..
