Well if you are 17 you are probally a senior in high school , and I know exactly how you feel thats how old I was when I had my first. Anyways it is probally going to be really stressful if you are planning to go to college because it is not cheap! Then well if you have a job then that is a good thing maybe work a little over time and also if you can dont go shopping as much or dont buy as much extra stuff and put a little bit of money aside after each paycheck, say like 50 dollars every time it adds up. Your parents might help too, have you told them? Also you might go threw your stuff in your room and the things you do not wear anymore sell them on ebay in groups of same brand or same size make sure to set a reserve though, then also you could sell things that you collected but are not attatched too. Maybe you could babysit for a couple people in the first few months until you are too close to due time. I know that the person below me said something about abortion, in my oppinion if you are going to do that and it is best for you then ignore this....but in a couple years you will REGREAT it.

The only thing I can tell you is to finish school try to get a better paying job. It would be a big plus if you seek higher education after the birth of your child.
I agree with the columnist who answered before me- abortion is really not the way to go. We have to be responsible enough to handle the consequences of our actions. My parents were still teens when my brother was born, and if they chose abortion, I wouldn't be here today.

The only way i can tell you to make money quick is either you look for a new job or get another one.But i truely think you really need to think very long and hard about this decision. Your whole life will change once you have this child. I am not saying NOT to have it. I am against abortions, but you are only seventeen. I guess what i am saying is sometimes things happen for a reason. I had a male friend who got his gf pregnant, even though he wanted to have the child and he loved and could support her. She decided to abort the baby. It was a hard decision for her to do but she made it. I just want you to look at the bigger picture. Its not going to be easy being a young mother and having only a bf. Things change once a baby is born.
