Hello, I’m 19 and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. It was unplanned, and I haven’t quite processed it. I’m still at college studying full time, I have a job that pays next to nothing, but I do live with my boyfriend which I’m thankful for.
We don’t have any money, I have some savings but not nearly enough to support a child. I don’t have the support of my family, or at least I think I don’t. I just don’t think my family would approve and it would be difficult for them.

I know deep down I want this baby, and so does my boyfriend. But I don’t know if it’s the right call to bring another life into this world right now. My life consists of working, studying, and laziness. I live in a one bedroom council house and it’s always freezing.
I have no idea what to do, who to talk to, where to go etc.
I want to have this baby, I really do but I don’t have the funds so what should I do?
Also how the fuck do I tell my parents?

I was 18 when i got pregnant with my first. i lived at home was in full time college and worked in a hotel.
In the end we did fine. you manage with what you have and im sure your family will be there it may just take time for them to come round to it.
Im not 29 and 18 weeks pregnant.
Funds will always be an issue. You learn to manage. There are things you can claim even though you are earning. If you know you want this baby please do not go against that you will forever regret it.
