I'm 27, single and a degree student through the Open University. I'm 8 weeks pregnant by a man I had a 5 year long fling with, who has decided he does not want to be involved. I'm not ready to be a mum. I have plans for my life and I'm not sure how a baby will fit into them, but I'm not prepared to give them up either. Thing is, I'm also not prepared to abort a healthy pregnancy or give my baby up for adoption, so I have no choice but to carry on and hope it works out okay. The baby is due two weeks before my law exams and I just have no idea how I will cope. I can't talk to any friends or family about this as I don't want them to know how much I'd rather not have this baby, so I'm looking for some advice or reassurance, or to see if anybody has been in a similar situation. I feel like I'm going mad as I have to keep this all to myself. Thanks in advance for any replies x
