19 & pregnant

I'm 19 going to be 20 in November ...I'm going to a university and Aug 27 is my 1st day of school, I am a first generation student meaning NO ONE in my family has graduated college. My parents have high expectations! I was prego at 17 and they made me abort. Now idk what to do. My bf is also in college. And he is leaning more towards abortion and so am I, but im just scared of my parents ....what should I do???

Good luck to yu in any decision that yu make :)

You're young but you are now an adult which means you have the right to make your own decisions now ..you need to do what makes you feel good ..from reading the other posts that means keep the baby ...I also don't agree with abortion but I'm not here to force my views on you ...I'm 25 years old with a beautiful 7 year old daughter an I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant with a little boy ..if you are determined to graduate college you WILL whether youre a momma or not ..I was 17 an preg trust me I know it makes things harder but I also know first hand things happen for a reason an I couldn't imagine my life any different then what it is now ..please think about things and remember you're an adult now you can go to school an be a mother if you really want too ...good luck

Well yeah I've thought of adoption, but I think that if I kept it for 9 months I'd want it forever, ....I'm just scared to disappoint my parents and my whole family! Other than that I want to keep it.

Do what YOU want...I personally don't agree with abortion but no one can tell yu what to do. If yu want to keep it then do it I'm sure yu would be a good mother. If not have yu considered adoption?
