6 weeks pregnant and single

I just found out I'm pregnant and due to various reasons my boyfriend and I have split up. He is now in Zambia for 4 months and I was certain I wanted an abortion (I also wanted to say the right thing) Since he has left, all I can think of is keeping the baby. Any thoughts would be appreciated about what to do. Thankyou

If you feel in your heart you should keep, KEEP! This is just my opinion but I think you're @ a great age to start parenting! I'm so happy I kept mine!She is amazing & I'm just obsessed with her! I have to fight ppl off of her bc she's so beautiful & sweet lol ❤ Some people make it seem so hard but its super easy to me! It comes natural! Especially if the grandparents will be involved in the baby's life! Thats a blessing! Our daughter brought me & my fiance so much closer together as parents now so we are actually expecting baby 2 now! Couldn't be happier! Sounds like you're doing well for yourself so i'd say taking the next step forward would be a blessing! Do what you feel in your heart is right bc everyone will have an opinion on the situation but you're the MOTHER so you will know best! Best wishes!

Have the baby! He or she is already on their way. Would the dad want to be involved? He has more immediate rights if you are married and/or if he is listed on the birth certificate as the father. If you are not together and he won't be on the birth certificate then you have every right to move in with your mum! She will be your support network after all! You need all the support you can get at this time. That being said, give the dad a chance to be involved, he might turn out to be a really good dad?!

I have a good job in London and I'd be 25 when if I had the baby. He is out with volunteer work for 4 months then returning to London. I would have to move away to my Mums when I had the baby. Is that my right? Or do I have to stay in London so that he could have access?

What are your life plans?  Have you finished school?  Do you have a good job that pays well?  Will the dad be coming back from Zambia?  What are the prospects of you getting child support from him over the years?  Will he fight you on custody and will he want to take the child to another country?  These aren't reasons to have an abortion, but might be reasons to make some very specific plans.
