Hello.
Firstly, don't panic. You have ages to decide what you want to do. First and foremost, decide in your heart of hearts wether YOU want the baby or not. Don't include anyone else in your deliberations. At the end of the day, your parents won't be looking after this child for the next 18 years! If you decide to keep it, go to the local housing office, explain the situation and get on the housing list. If your parents are truly no help, a letter requesting you move out will speed up your application. This is my story- I was 21 when I got pg with ds, had broken up with my partner, moved home, arranged a termination, cancelled it, and been for my first scan alone, before I told anyone! I told my mum first, and she was very shocked, and insisted I have an abortion. I told her I had made my decision and baby was staying. After a day or two, she came round and has been amazing ever since. My stepfather, on the other hand, who I thought would go mad, was supportive from the first, and really suprised me. They never insisted I moved out and when I finally did were really upset to see us go. My then ex partner, was really shocked at first, but came round. He hasnt always been totally helpful, but we got back together, had a dd, and celebrated 18 years this year! If he hadn't come round to the idea, I would have gone it alone, and he WOULD have been paying child support! Even when you feel totally alone, things are always fixable. Living on benefits would be hard, but the only way is up! You are a 26 year old independent woman, capable of making your own choices, and are answerable to no one. Your partner has his own choices to make, which shouldnt affect yours, and your parents are not in control of your life. If you choose to go ahead, people will come along who will support you, new friends, midwives, health visitors, clubs, other parents you meet, other mumsnetters! If you decide to terminate, there will be other chances, you are young and healthy and have your whole life ahead of you!
