The father of my child is against me keeping it.

I’m 17 and its really kinda stressful doing this by myself and I’m only 4 1/2wks!!! He wants me to terminate it but I cant and I dont think I have the strength to put it up for adoption after being with it so long,,, any suggestions as to what I should do??? And please try not to be rude…I’m really emotional about this… Also I’m havin some terrible stomach cramps…does that mean somethings wrong?

Answer #1

It’s YOUR body and YOUR choice. NO ONE has the right to tell you what to do with your unborn child. Furthermore you will have to deal with the emotional consequences of your actions, not him. So YOU DECIDE and don’t let any one tell you or force you to do something you don’t want to.

Answer #2

You need to do what you think is best for your child. Regardless of what the father thinks because you are the one that will have to live with this decision for the rest of you life. Stomach cramps are common in the beginning but if any spotting or bleeding occurs you will need to see you doctor.

Answer #3

Its ultimately YOUR choice… and its pretty clear that you’ve already made it… mommy…

Answer #4

thanks for the advice

Answer #5

He has no right and no power over you - he can’t make you get rid of your baby. All he is worried about is himself.

I won’t lie to you - it’s going to be challenging raising a baby so young and on your own, but it can be done. Just make sure you get your child support payments from the father…he needs to be responsible for his actions.

As for the cramping - it’s quite normal to have some cramps in early pregnancy, but if they are severe and accompanied by blood, then you should see your doctor.

Answer #6

You remember, it is YOUR body NOT his. Everytime he says “I don’t want it” you should say “TOO BAD” that is YOUR baby, People don’t realize the man can choose to stick around or not all he has to do is pay child support when it comes to the women we are stuck, you take control of your life and stop letting him push you around (I am not saying he is…but if he is!) You should not let him have a say, think about it what do YOU want because you are the one carrying the child, you are the one who will go through child birth this is all about you, if he dose not want it than I am very sorry to hear that it must be scary, but in the end it is YOU who will have to take care of that baby.
