I found out that I'm pregnant last night and I'm absolutely terrified. I honestly don't know what to do, my mum is my best friend I knew I had to tell her. I got straight in my car and drove a pretty emotional 20 minutes to her house, where I burst out crying saying I was pregnant. She took it really well and explained all the pros and cons of having a baby, and that I had to speak to my boyfriend about it.
I'm 19 years old, just got accepted into Exeter University to study Law and I don't know what to do!!
Today has been a lot more emotional, I went to the doctors and she gave me a phone number to an abortion clinic. I made an appointment for an initial consultation so I can get a scan and see how far along I am and discuss my options- but I don't know how I'm going to be able to go through with either decision.
Since getting home I have been frantically googling (not a good idea) and crying my Absolute eyes out.
I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years, I live with him (rent), both have quite good jobs and I'm doing an online law degree. But I'm terrified that I'm not ready for a baby of my own but also it keeps running through my mind that I have something growing inside of me with a heart beating, and I'm not sure I can just get rid of it.
I don't know what to do, crying seems the only option. I'm so scared to have a baby because I care a lot more than I should about social judgement but I don't know what's best for me and if it's really fair to bring a baby into this world when I'm so young and there is so much we want to do before having a family.. I wish there was a right thing to do, but I'm so upset and confused and I don't know what to do :'(
