So I m 15 almost 16 and pregnant, my baby is due in late October early November. My boyfriend and I would like to stay together and raise our baby, and do the best we can we know it will be hard but we are up to it. He is a senior and graduating and taking over his dads company so money isn't an issue.
My parents are the issue, they don't like my boyfriend and think that if I have this baby and keep it then I will hand it off to them to raise. They want me to put the baby up for adoption. I think this would be very hard and I think I would regret it. What should I do? Im very confused on what I should do I don't know if I should just give the baby up for adoption or try to talk to my parents more about keeping it.
My parents always have said and still say that I am a smart enough girl to do anything I want and put my mind to but if I say I want to raise my baby and keep it they say i can't? Why are they going against what they have always said?
Also is there any way to get this pregnancy off my mind? I feel like everything I do I start thinking about the arguments at home and just being pregnant it keeps distracting me when Im at school and work and even when Im at home trying to fall asleep my mind just keeps wandering...
Sorry its long but just need help.
I think you would regret giving your baby up. If your boyfriend is doing the right thing and money wont be an issue then i would say go for it. A child is a wonderful gift! I am a mother, and i fell pregnant at 17 and i wouldnt change anything!!
People say you have your whole life ahead of you to have kids... Well i say you have your whole life ahead of you to have a career and further your education. You're having a child RIGHT NOW. Its a magical time and people should be supporting you. I guess your parents would be shocked at having their 15 year old daughter pregnant but once they see their grandchild in the flesh their whole world will change and they'll love it like their own.
DO NOT let anyone force you to give up this child, because you will regret it!
As soon as you begin to accept and embrace your pregnancy you will start to feel better about it.
Good luck. Im also due in October with my second child.
