Teen pregnancy?

So, I'm 13....I know that is way to young to even think about having a baby, but that's the thing, I didn't expect getting pregnant either, just let me tell you my story. My boyfriend and I have been dating for...it'll be 7 months on the 19th, the day before Thanks Giving we were at a party with this bad group of 'friends' they kept pressuring us to do it and that night we lost our virginities to eachother, he wore a condom but sure enough, it broke while I'm not on birth control, he knows that there is a good chance I'm pregnant, so do both our parents...his family want me to get an abortion while my mom is completely against abortion, also I think myself as a person couldn't abort a baby...also my boyfriend doesn't want me to get an abortion because he doesn't think it's right. I'm 11 DPO tomorrow and my mom is getting me a test.....I just would like to know if anyone else went through this or something similar? If so how did it turn out, was the baby okay? Were you okay? I'm so scared......Thank you, and bless you all....

I am blown away by so many people saying you will be a great mother. This is highly unlikely and not because if you honey. It's because 13 14 year olds are children still. Unless you seriously think you can take almost all responsibility for the child please do not keep it. Please give it up for adoption or terminate. Think very hard on which of those two options will be best. I can not in good conscious say you will be a fantastic mother, and again not because of you as a person. I was given up by a 14 year old teenager and my life would probably had been sh** if that had not happened. I would of been most likely neglected, raised in a poor neighborhood, and potentially thrown in foster care when I was a little older and it's a fact it is harder for non babies to be adopted. Is any of that what you want to go through as a child and watch a kid go through?

Dont do it. Im sure if you keep it youll be a great mother. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and the pain is awful both physically and emotionally. Whatever your decision is i wish you luck. You are beyond blessed to have this opportunity.

You need to make the decision you can live with FOREVER. If you make a decision based on other people's opinion and not your you feel, you'll regret it for life. Regret is not something you want hanging over you forever.

Good luck with your decision.

Hello sweetheart! I am 16 years old and I think that I am pregnant. I understand what you are going through. Take it from me though dont let anyone pressure you to have sex. If you dont want to you dont have to okay? Okay. But dont abort its unnecessary and it can leave a void in your heart. You can adopt out though though that's hard too but it's easier knowing that your child is out there alive and taken care of. But if you keep it yes its true you will not be a child anymore and it will be hard but nothing will come in between that bond that the you and your child will form. Good luck honey!

I'm so sorry you have to do this at such a young age, but so thankful your parents isn't making you choose to end a part of your life. No matter how old you are being a parent is challenging at times. I am almost 23 and pregnant with my second child I wast told I should never have children because I have a bad heart and pacemaker, but when god thinks its time for your little  little ones to enter your life he will bless you. I know you are only 13 and have your whole life ahead to have kids, but this baby is the best gift you could ever have. No matter what you decide just know you have created life and your baby will always love and respect you for the choices you make. God bless you and your family and I hope and pray everything works out in the ways you want.

I had my first daughter when I was 13. I did perfectly fine and so was my baby girl. It's hard to deal with because after the baby comes you no longer have a childhood. It becomes all about your child. But I know you will do just fine

No matter what, abortion is a sissy thing to do. Adoption is always available and if you want to keep the baby yourself, thats fine too. It'd be hard, but ik a few mommies that had theirs at 13 & 14 and their babies are healthy, wonderfully taken care of toddlers and young children. The cmdecision is up to you ultimately and either way, this will change you.
