I'm 8 weeks preg. And the babys father left

Hello,

I am 19 years old and I am over 8 weeks pregnant. The baby’s father I guess couldn’t handle the situation so he has left me. I plan to keep the baby anyway because I don’t really believe in abortion much. But I think my family will disown me if they know I will be a single mom. I haven’t spoken to the child’s father in a few weeks now. He was supposed to be getting money for me to have an abortion but I’ve decided that I don’t want one. So, he doesn’t quite know yet that I will be keeping the baby and I don’t want to tell him till he comes up with the money. What should I do after the baby is born? Like I know he has to pay child support but what if he doesn’t. I don’t really have money for the baby and myself led along some lawyers and court. Sometimes I get scared because I’m all alone and don’t know what to do because I am too scared to tell anyone besides my closest friends. Please help!!

Answer #1

I would never give my baby up for adoption that would be too much pain for me.. I know as soon as I have the baby in my arms I will not want to let go. Thanks for those of you’s that suggested this. I have thought about it but it’s not for me.

Answer #2

My opinion is to consult with your family. I was only 23 when I had my first and it was hard then. Now, I am 42 and my daughter is 19. She too is 8 weeks preg. I was VERY upset to say the least but I told her I would be there for her no matter what she chose. She decided to keep the baby and now that I am over the shock, I am very excited. The father is not interested in being involved so I fill the role by going with her to all appts. and I plan on being there for the birth. Things always work themselves out but its not easy and will take a lot of hard work! Good luck. jrzgrl66@yahoo.com if you want to chat.

Answer #3

I don’t think your parents would disown you. Its not your fault, and at least you’re over 18. You just have to explain the situation.

Answer #4

first of all, it does NOT cost anything to submit to receive child support. it takes time and patience, but it is free. and if it goes further, you can get a free attorney. tell the judge. second of all - do not feel guilty but do use birth control from now on. okay? third - do the best that you can and the best is NOT what is best for you but what is best for the baby. abortion or adoption…it is your call. fourth - talk to your parents. whether you tell them now or wait, they are going to find out. it is like pulling off a bandaid, really scarey before you do it, then you just yank and it is over. just tell them, they might surprise you and help with your decisions. I really wish you luck. be strong and do what is best for the baby, whatevery that might be.

oh hunny. your family may be shocked at first but they are your family and need to be there for you. if your man decided to leave you after he finds out you are pregnant, how is that your fault? I wouldn’t get an abortion but that is my personal preference and belief. adoption is another option. my fiance was adopted but he has lots of curiousity and questions about it. you are 19 and going to be just fine. try finding social services they can get you started on different options and advice. I hpe you find peace in your decision. its going to be hard but lots of people do it every day. it will all work out…some way or another it will. …it always does.

Answer #7

Don’t worry about being able to take care of the baby. If your parents won’t help you, then try going to Social Servives and see what they have. They can, at least, stir you in the right direction. I’m 54 and my daughter got pregnant when she was 16. She wanted to have an abortion at first but changed her mind. I didn’t want her to have one. My grand-daughter is 11 years old now and is the light of my life. You never know until you tell her.

Answer #8

just tell your parents. you’ll be fine… Your going to be a mommy! =)

Answer #9

You should look into adoption

Answer #10
