Me and my partner haven't been together long at all...just over a month.
I've fell pregnant really quickly and I'm not sure what to do.
I didn't want a child (yet) until I found out, me and my boyfriend have argued like crazy because he wants me to get rid of it and I'm undecided. I feel like getting rid of it is being pushed on me by him.

He says he still loves and and will still be there for me after i get an abortion ( if I do and only if I do)

I'm so lost and don't know what to do Sad

It’s your body. You get the final say.

Being a single mum is really hard but doable. It closes lots of doors for you as you don’t have the other parent supporting you.

You’ve got to look at what your finances will be like. You’ve only known this guy for a month so really you don’t know him that much - what kind of father would he be? Is this the right person to be your child’s dad? This man would be in your life for a very long time - even if he chooses not to be with you. .

How would you cope if he wants zero contact with the baby? My niece is in this position now and it broke her heart for the first two years because she just couldn’t understand why this man would want to miss out on his sons life.

How old are you? Are you working? Are you studying? Where are you living? Is it fit for a child?

So many questions you have to work out.

I had a termination when I was younger, I was already a single mum. It was right for me at the time and I’ve never regretted it. I went on to have two more children many years later when I was in a better situation.

I’d also like to add. I’d get rid of this bloke. He is already showing you his love is conditional.

There are better men out there x
