My sister got pregnant at the age of 13 and had her beautiful baby boy at 14. As young as she was she understood that if she was responsible enough to enjoy her good time; then she had to also be responsible and mature about having the baby she had conceived. When your having unprotected sex in this case your cousin, she should be aware that things like this could happen. A baby doesn't ruin anyones life like most people say. And at the time of conceiving age doesn't matter. A baby is a blessing regardless the situation. She'll just have to step up and accept that she was blessed with being able to conceived in the first place. Many females are not able to. Once you are pregnant is nobodys responsiblilty but yours. Therefore is your choice. Abortion is NEVER the solution. Life is life and nobody has the right to take it but God. Good luck and hopefully everything turns out for the best. Just imagine how precious that little human being inside of you will be :) Your lucky, don't forget that. God bless you and your little one <3

Keep it. If you think you are responsible enough to have sex even if you are under 18 then you should be able to care for a baby. The baby didn't ask to be made you just didn't care and did it.

At 18 you're an adult and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to keep the baby. I pro choice before I got pregnant but now that I know as much as I do and I've felt my baby move in my belly I don't agree with abortions.

If you really dont want baby, please don't abort him or her, baby didn't choose to be made, but he or she should have the right to live. Consider adoption, there's tons of mommies who'd love to raise your little one if you can't.

Im 15 and 38 weeks pregnant with my daughter and i dont regret one thing. You will face judgment and stress but none of that compares to the love and bond you will have with your child. Even before the baby is born you form an amazing bond and love for eachother. Being a mother is amazing doesnt matter what age you are.

It is your decision but if your bot ready for it you should not have put yourself in the position to be able to get pregnant.... I raised my niece since I was 14 because her mom wouldn't and I would do it over again it makes you grow up fast yes but it makes people respect you and it shows your not a child yourself... it's hard but we all have to grow up sometime and to have someone to grow up with is one of the best feelings

I'm 18 and 16 weeks and 1 day and I had an appointment 2 months ago to get an abortion because I was scared and I didn't know what to do but I'm so glad I stuck with keeping my little angel and I couldn't be any happier and my boyfriend is still around and supporting me (:

I was 16 when I had my first child and wouldn't change having him for the world. But this is a very personal decision that only you can make with the support of people who know and care about you. Wish you all the best no matter what.

I'm 17 turning 18 in less than a week and I'm 29 weeks tomorrow. I'm keeping my daughter I wouldn't have been able to abort her. If you don't want or can't afford to have your child give him or her up for adoption. I personally am so excited to meet my daughter even her dad has somewhat warmed up to it I think. I also have support behind me in my choice. Good luck...

Babys are a blessing, im 18 and 24weeks pregnant tomorrow. But the only one who can really decide that is you, maybe you should weigh up the pros and cons of both situations, I personally hate even thinking about abortions but you do have to do whats the best situation for you, good luck x

Heads up. This probably isn't the best place to ask that. You are going to hear very negative feedback on this question.  
With that being said...it is your choice and you choice alone darling. Nobody should ever tell you what is right for you.  Ask yourself if you can handle either choice. Do you have financial and emotional support for either of those choices?
Good luck sweetpea
