i found out that i was 6 weeks pregnant last thursday and now 7 weeks yest.. its a total shock to me and my bf. as im only 17 he thinks that an abortion is the best option for us i can see his point in it all as i have the rest of my life to have children. but somthing tells me that i am meant to keep this one.. for instance my doctor said she was suprised i even lasted this long from my drinking n smoking ( i didnt know i was preg at the time of course ) but i also conceived on the pill and was still taking my pill up untill i found out .. its suprising its lasted this long now call me weird or stupid but it feels to me like i was meant to carry on with this..im so confused ???

This is a problem you should discuss with your parents since you are still young and they will have to undertake the financial burden of the baby. When you listen to your feelings you do not always get the get advice. What ever you and your parents decide, I wish you well and hope that you learned an important lesson. Adult responsibilities are only for adults not girls of 16-17 who ry to be adults. Stop the smoking and drinking and the loose living and wait until youare old enough for responsibility and not saddle your parents.

If you are still in school, i say have the abortion. They also have these pills to stop the pregnancy. I had two abortions in the ninetys and I did not have any regretes, I have two beautiful girls now and i am glad i had both of them when I was out of school. It is hard to raise kids at any age you still struggle. I am a single mom and it is hard but you survive.

Ultimately, YOU will have to make the decision that is right for YOU.

I do suggest you tell your parents and I suggest you get counseling from an impartial person who can help you determine your best choice (keep in mind that none of the available choices are good ones).

Also, please be responsible enough to make your choice well within the time window recommended so that IF you choose abortion, it will be done within the first trimester (hopefully as early as possible).

Honey, nothing you choose will be easy. I know, as I have been there (well, aside from the smoking and drinking).

Please take care.

During all your decision making process, please keep in mind that you are carrying a real live person who wants to live.

If raising a child will be too much for you to handle, you can always give it up for adoption. Remember once you have an abortion, you can't change your mind and bring the baby back.

I pray you will make the right decision.
