You need to do what you feel strongly about.  If that means keeping the baby then look at your options for keeping the baby, can you get help, will you be able to live with your mom?  Also if your boyfriend doesn't want to stay with you then he is the one that is missing out, not you or the baby.  Some guy will come along and be happy to be with you pregnant or with a baby.  However, you need to do what is best for you, you and the baby are #1, not anyone else.  Good luck and if you need any advice let me know, I was kind of in your situation, but I was married and it is my husbands, but I didn't know what to do because I wasn't sure if I could be a mom yet.  Good luck!

Check out all your options before making a decision. I am a christian and I believe that God will take care of you and the baby if you have faith. If you decide to give the baby up for adoption you can look into open adoptions that will allow you to have more access to the baby and you will not be a stranger.

 Your boyfriend is not ready to be a parent. Consider your relationship when you make your decison and understand that he may change but he may not and you have to be ready for that. Thank God for your mom who is stil there for you. Some mother's would turn their backs. Look to her for advice and get as much from her as you can. Get books. magazines and watch programming about pregnancy to educate yourself. I was not surprised by anything because I did this. What to expect when you are expecting was my second bible. It was so helpful and informative for me.

Find other young moms to talk to. Your life will not be the same after the birth of the baby no matter if you keep it or not. You need to know what you are in for. Look into programs that will help you with housing, medical, day care and your education. In california single moms get more than married moms. Believe me I know. My sis has WIC, section 8 food stamps and cash aid along with medical and I got nothing because my husband made $100 more than the cutoff which is still low. We are not rich.

 I hope that I have helped ease your mind. O the morning sickness for some doesnt go away. I am 5 months and I still get sick if I dont eat every couple of hours. Make sure you eat what you like and drink a lot of water. I would have an apple or banana by my bed along with water so that the moment I opened my eyes I could eat someting otherwise I would get sick. Try ginger ale, seven up, crackers, etc. The best thing is just to eat frequently though.

Take your prenatals at night before bed to help with sickness also.

This is a hard situation to be in and our prayers are with you. If you do consider adoption look up our profile on www.myspace.com/ginaandspencer to learn more about our family. We adopted our little boy 4 years ago tomorrow and are trying to adopt again. You are such a strong person for wanting to give life to your baby. My child will always know the kind of love that his birth-mother has for him and the courageous thing that she did. You don't have to do this alone. We are young and have a lot to give and are ready to complete our family. Without adoption this would not be possible. Please check us out!

Good Luck and God Bless You!
