Unsure Mom to be with Dad that wants to abort

[27yrmomtobe]

Hi There, Just recently found out I am 6 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of 5 months. I have wanted a baby for quite a while now and was both excited and terrified when I found out I was expecting. My boyfriend has been well aware since day one that I was not on any birth control and we both made the decision to not use protection. Now that I am pregnant he tells me he does not want me to have this child as we are "not ready" being that we both have a bit of debt. His $25000 mine $15000. We both have steady jobs, both live on our own (not together at this point in time) and both have good reliable vehicles. He is really pushing me towards having an abortion (which I have done before and it was very hard on me emotionally). I am just wondering what others opinions are of my situation? I want to keep the baby but he does not.

I had an abortion 4yrs ago and still regret it to this day. Thank you all for your comments.

I don't think abortion is the solution. but whatever you want. Im pro choose. don't let him tell you what to do its your body!  but i just think that its pretty dumb how he knew you weren't taking any birth control and now he won't take responsibility, you guys are old enough to know what's right from wrong. i mean it was an accident waiting to happen. If you choose abortion plz next time around take precaution i really hate abortions but its your choose NOT HiS. And either way i don't think anyone is ever ready for a baby even the most prepared.Good luck

This is completely your decision. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise. If he doesn't want to be a part of the childs life then so be it. If you feel as though you can love them and take care if them then don't question how you feel. There are plenty of single mothers that do a wonder job taking care of their children. And most people have babies when it's not the right time for them, you make it the right time. Good luck to you! Just remember you are the only one who has to live with your decision because  unfortunately he probably wouldn't give it a second thought.
