  • If this is the truth, you shouldn't have had sex if you can't be responsible for a life. You are talking about a human being not just a flippant "whatever". Give the child up for adoption and give the child a chance for a good life. Don't be so irresponsible next time with your decisions. This didn't have to happen. For the record " IT" is a human being, a child, not an IT !! Out of curiousity how old are you ?

  • the word is abortion and if you can
    t say it you must be awfully young.
    I don't know you or anything about your beliefs or situation. You need to talk to someone who can present all the alternatives and maybe counsel you to find out what you really want to do.
    If you don;t want this child I do suggesy adoption. Again these are my beliefs but the only ones I can give to someone I know nothing about.

    Whatever you do, be sure that you do what you must to not be in this situation again until you are ready.

  • I strongly dissagree with abortion, it's not your unborn childs fault you got pregnant. If you really dont think you can raise a child in your situation, please consider adoption, you'd be giving someone the greatest gift there is.

  • Then you two need to work out a solution ASAP. He can't force you into doing anything you don't want to do, but his feelings should also be considered as long as he's in a position he could raise the child without you, and whether you want this relationship to continue. Ultimately it comes down to your body, your choice. Best of luck figuring out this difficult situation.

  • I've never heard a woman say she regrets HAVING her baby, but I've heard a hell of a lot of women regret abortions.

    In my opinion, if this baby was made from consentual sex, he deserves a say in what happens. How would you feel if the choice of whether your child lived or died was in the hands of another person?

  • If he wants to keep the child why do not want him to? What is wrong with him adopting and raising the child?

  • I gotta say, when I got pregnant it wasn't ideal atall, and I considered a termination for like a day! Then I realised, even if we are broke, and the pregnancy wasn't planned, (even though we both took precautions!) I got pregnant for a reason! And I now have the most beautiful son I could ever wish for! I have very little money, and I'm quite young, but being a Mother is by far the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life! My son is so perfect! And I sleep extremelly happily every night knowing that I created him.

  • If he would like to keep it, you can let him raise the child if you two aren't still together, or you could pick a family, together, that you two want to have raise the child (adopt). I understand that it would be extremely hard to give it up after carrying it for so many months, but if you get started early in the adoption (or he will raise the baby) process, you can come to terms with it and also have a certain level of contact with the child as you work on getting to a better place in your life without having to be responsible for raising a child at the same time. Adoptions can be extremely flexible these days with not being so much 'giving up' your child as just becoming their biological parent rather than the parents who raise them. I would suggest talking with an adoption counselor and talking to other moms through them who have chosen adoption. This way, your child doesn't have to die, but you don't have to parent yet.
