yes you are or they will be deleted for you

You do whatever you feel is best. Think about your decision and don't act out of emotional instability or the influence of your family. That child is in your belly and it would be your responsibility to take care of. Not theirs. Just think before you do. Good luck!

If your heart is telling you to keep the baby then that is a significant reason to keep it. You can always do daycare and finish school and get a job and still be a great mother and not live with any possible regret. And once everyone in your family sees that baby born they will have a change of heart.

Smurf everyone else and whether or not they're disappointed with you! It's your decision and yes, it may be difficult, but you can get through it if you want to have this baby. Think long and hard before you do something you can't un-do. Best wishes!

My biggest concern would definitely be school. If you think you can do it, and trust yourself enough to keep going until graduation and finding a job where you can support yourself, the baby, and the pricey loan paybacks, then it's completely possible and I say good for you.
But what happens if you miss just a little too much school, due to complications? What if you decide the baby takes up too much of your time and school just isn't an option "right now" - which in most cases really means ever. You'll still have to support yourself, that baby, and those student loans - even if you don't complete your degree.
That being said, in your position, personally, I would definitely consider other options - abortion, adoption, or...I guess that's basically it. :/ Good luck to you in whatever you choose.

Thanks Everyone for your replies... I guess I should have updated.

I decided to keep my child.

It was a hard decision, and I still question if it is the right one but Its the one my heart was most comfortable with.

Thanks for your help!

You did what was right for you... That's best congrats

I'm very happy you decided to keep it. I read every single one of the comments posted here. And everyone has had very valid points.
I know how hard it was to consider... I my self am going to school. My husband works full time AND goes to school full time. I'm not working; I have not been able to find a job in 4 years... and I know there will be struggles financially for a while. However, me being told since I was 16 that I would probably never have children, this was a miracle.
Sorry, I got on my soap-box lol.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is this:
Yes, there will be hard times, but there will be better times too.
There are always places you can go to get help with food and things like that for you and your baby if your family continues to be against it. But I'm pretty sure as soon as they hear the heart beat, or see the baby, they would melt. And you can always come talk to us when you need to! ^_^
Keep us posted on your progress. =big hugs=
