Okay, sooo today i did a pregnancy test i had my reasons as to why i thought it was a possibility i would be , so it came back positive... i’m 18 years old, 19 in January, telling my parents isnt so much the problem, at first my boyfriend expressed his feelings to me about how he didn’t think the timing was very convenient, and maybe getting rid of it was a good option, then I explained how if i get rid of it because he wants me to then i may end up resenting him for the rest of our lives, he understood and said he didn’t want that so said whatever decision i choose hes happy with and that well get our own flat etc, i wanna keep it, i wanna family with him now ! Im ready ! He even said himself why would he tell me to get rid of it when is me he wants a family with and wants to have kids with etc, but hes not where he wants to be eg , no car , house and he is older than me, but he said hell just have to get everything sorted sooner, im just concerned because i know he doesnt necessarily want to keep the baby because of timing and everything but if i did keep it , would he end up resenting me ??

Well, it’s a bit late for that. If you want the baby then you have a right to have the baby. Either way, there is a potential baby. He’s going to have to step up to the mark- only time will tell how wel he takes to it.

There's never a perfect time to have a baby! Sounds like you've had a sensible conversation, he's willing to step up to the plate and get life as baby-organised as possible in the time available.

Realistically he's not going to stay, sorry. You absolutely have to assume that if you continue with the pregnancy that you will be a single parent - that's the likelihood. If you're ok with that, fine. But if you want to be a happy family with this guy, it's probably not going to end up like that, so consider your options.
