I can definitely relate to this post. When I found out I was pregnant back in march, I was terrified. I had just gotten married and moved into a new state both within 3 months, had no family here to support me, and only had one friend. I didnt know what to do. I had always told myself I wanted to wait until 23 at the earliest to have a baby, because a very good friend of mine got pregnant at 15 and I knew the struggle of being a young mom first hand. When I found out I was pregnant, I was barely 5 weeks along. The only people who knew were my mom, my best friend, and my moms parents. When that test showed positive, I called my mom right away crying and all I kept saying over and over was Im not keeping it. I didnt announce until almost 11 weeks because I was absolutely terrified. Though at first I didnt realize it, i had so much support. I wasnt pressured to do one or the other, because they knew i would make the right choice. As much as I didnt want this, I knew it was me who didnt take the precautions to avoid pregnancy. This baby didnt ask to be here, I had to take responsibility for my actions. And Im proud to say that Im glad I didnt make that choice, I knew I would regret the decision to terminate the pregnancy, and I knew i could never undo it. Now I have a healthy and happy 7 week old baby boy that, god willing, I get the privilege of waking up to every morning. Not everyone gets that privilege. I know a girl right now who is struggling to be able to conceive a child with her husband, and possibly may never be able to have children. There are people out that willing to love that child, even if you arent.
