don't know what to do....

after i was raped i was taken to the emergency room and they gave me plan b...so i did not think this was supposed to happen. but i am pregnant. i do not believe in abortion but i am also only 15 and this is not how i would have seen my life going. also...the man who raped me is from a different ethnicity and i know that is not something that should matter if i was a perfect person but maybe i am not? maybe i do have biases and prejudices. and maybe that or the rape would affect my ability to bond with the baby? honestly i dont know. my parents are also against abortion and very religious but talking to my mom i think she would support me if that is what i decided to do. BUT i'm not sure it will be possible for ME to go through with an abortion...i am very afraid of how guilty i will feel.

If I was in your situation I would abort.
I don't think abortion is easy to deal with at any age but at 15 it seems it would be easier to handle than going through with the pregnancy and having a child that is the result of rape.
It's very likely that you could resent your child because it is a product of a very traumatic event and that is not something that a baby should be brought into.

Good luck hun.

!! This.

I'm very sorry you are in this situation. I really hope for the best.

And if you can't go through with having an abortion, have you thought maybe givin the baby up for adoption if you are afraid of resenting the baby? Could be a possibility. But it could also be hard carrying the result of this horrible event around with you for 9 months.

What ever you do and what ever you decide hun, I wish you all the best.

If you feel that you want to keep it but might regret it or be angry at the child then I would say abort or look into adoption . Rape is hard enough without having the reminder of it in baby form . all in all you have to do what is right for you . When in doubt make a list of pro's and con's for each option ... sometimes it helps when you see it on paper .

I was raped at 14 and kept my baby she's now 4 I'm 18. If you want anyone to talk to I'm here. <3 good luck.

i have a friend who is in the same situation, she is keeping it and adopting it out after its born. she felt the same way about abortion. i know people who have felt guilty and some who haven't. Personally ild keep it or adopt it.

Wow!! i have great respect to you and the girl who posted this!! I can't imagine going through this or having to deal with that decision!! You both are extremly strong and should be proud of yourselves for getting through this.

As for advice... I would say just do what you feel is right. I'm not sure i would know how to handle this either. Have you talked to anyone other then your mom like a therapist or something? That might help or they might be able to help give you advice on how to handle it. Either way i support whatever you chose. And you are extremly brave!! Good luck!

Maybe go to planned parenthood and get some counseling on your options? It may benefit you to talk to someone who is outside your circle and unbiased. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Other people's fertility issued aren't her problem.
That's great that you'd be able to go through with adoption but it's not for everyone.
Especially in a situation like this.

i am only trying to think of things for her. i understand what happen to her and all but i was just saying.. =/
