18 and young

[stephyzip18]

So as the title states im 18.
4 days ago I found out I was pragnent.

I was extacic when I found out.

Me and my feance have been together for 3 years living together for a year and a half.

I am well aware we are young but my boy friend makes okay money and his job title is only going to get better.
he has been suporting me for a year and a half no problem and we always have lots of money left over after paying bills and what not.

im giving this back ground story because iv told a few family members now and some are super happy and say ill be a great mom and others are telling me to abort.

I am pro choice but I dont suport abortion and I know myself I cant give it up and as I said at the beggining I was happy when the test came back positive.

now I dont wanna know what you think I should do or what would be best.

I just want to know if anyone else has been in this situation and what you would say or do.

I need advice because the nagativity is getting me down.

thank you mamas and soon to be mamas

Well im 15 and having a baby and all I have is my mom helping me. No other family is around or alive, and baby daddy is 15 as well and is doing his own thing (drugs) so I dont want him around.
So I'd say youre pretty well off and even some 20 year old moms dont have a good situation like you.
I was told to abort but I couldnt do it.
Really it was no problem tuning things like that out because I was so happy.
I fell in love the first time I saw my little boy.
And once you have that baby your family with fall for that baby.
Just remember that everything always changes once the baby is actually here.
Sometimes it takes time to realize the blessings youre presented with and just believe that they will come around.

Its your life your a grown adult. Don't let anyone take this happy moment and ruin it with negativity. Don't stress. You have every right to be happy. Tell them you love your baby and you'll be the best mother possible. If they are still rude cut them out your life

I dont understand y anyone would tell u to abort.  Makes absolutely no sense.  Its cuz they think ur too young?  Since when is 18 too young to have a baby?  Ive been hearing that a lot on here but its never been the general consensus as far as i know.

my husbands family is no problem they will be happy as longnas we are happy.

my family on the other hand theu want me to abort it.

so thanka for the advice and up lifting words.

When I was 17 my dad was very supportive but when my mom was told later that day she demanded I got an abortion. I told her no I was happy and love my baby. And although I lived with them it was my decision. She stopped talking to me for 3 weeks. Then she saw the first ultrasound and she did a full 180 and became super grandma. People will always be judgemental and tell you what you should do but you should always do what makes you happy and prove them wrong

A child is a blessing. I went through this with my baby daddy's family, & he actually left because I decided not to abort. It was the best decision I ever made. I love being a mom. Except I got pregnant at 16. I would just tell them that it is your life, and your decision. It's what you want and they should be happy for you. It may be hard with some family right now. but I promise it will all be so worth it!(: I hope everything works out & congratulations Momma!
