18 And Preg....and Confused
Posted: 02-10-05 16:13pm

I moved out the house back in october. And have been living with my friend, her baby, and her auntie. Before I left my dad told me that if I ever came back I better not come back home with a baby.

I never thought that I would get pregnant this soon. I know that I can't go back home and I know that I can't stay with my friend any longer when I begin to show. My boyfriend wanted me to get an abortion but i'm not going to do that since I am against abortion.

I feel as though he isn't there for me emotionally when I need him the most out of all the people. My friend told me that it was because he is scared but I don't really know if that is true. I really need help and some advice what should I be doing?

He is scared. Idk if he will come around eventually, but you need support. Are you in school? Talk to a school nurse. Planned parenthood. A health clinic. There are places that can help you with shelter, maternity clothes, stuff for the baby. I'm sorry idk any specific organizations. Also, do you really think your dad meant what he said? I'm sure he'd rather have you and baby home safe. My dad was upset when I got preg (22 and married 4 years, lol), but he got over it. Daddy's can be like that, but they love us and want us to be safe. You should at least let him know your situation. Take care.

I am sure he is just scared he will eventually come around. Trust me my ex was that way when I first told him. He came around after like a month and excepted his child. Just give him space.

We all have to keep in mind that not all families have loving fathers/mothers in them. Hopefully your dad just said that out of anger and will come around, but I don't know your dad. And I know several "dad's" who would have meant it.
The first post gave great advice. Talk to some people in school, nurse, guidance counselor, etc. They will know where you can go to get help. Hopefully the father of the baby will come around, but don't get your hopes up. Even if he does decide he wants to be there, that doesn't mean that he will stay or that he will be a good provider, so find a way to do all of that on your own. Good luck to you!

Does he want this child? Have you honestly sat down and talked about it? You need to tell your parents... I mean telling mine was one of the hardest things to do... They didnt talk to me for 6 months! But now they have accepted and love the idea.. I am 18 as well.. You need to figure out a plan whether it involves your bf/parents or not...

If you ever want to talk im me
