I found that me and my boyfriend are expecting. He is in med school in which he is unable to work and I am in grad school. We were both happy, until I told my mother.
She is forcing me to have an abortion because she is embarassed and doesnt want her friends, our family and church to find out. She wont even tell my father.
I say that this abortion will be forced because I solely depend on my parents financially because it is enforced by the school that I do not work while I am in the nursing program.
My friends have said "Its your body, you have a choice", but I don't. The fact is that babies have to live, they have to eat, have a roof, have necessities. I am solely dependent on my parents, in which my mom is unwilling to even accept the fact that I am pregnant.
I cant even begin to figure out why my mother was so excited when my brother (who was the same age as I) had his son and why my baby isnt even good enough to be born...that hurts.
Me and my mother have always done everything together and have had an excellent relationship, until now, that I am forced to get rid of the baby, that was unexpected but nevertheless welcomed.
Im so sad that my appointment is next week and that I didnt have a choice.....
Please do whatever you have to. go on welfare, give the baby up for adoption. anything,but don't let the child be killed. you will forever regret it. please be strong now for your unborn child. he/she depends on you totally and completely.
Your mom will not understand because she is embarrassed, go to your father and tell him yourself. what is more important. being embarrassed for a few months or for this precious life, (and your life) to be changed forever

I understand that but until then, where will I live until I get a job as bad as the economy is???....No one understands that I still have to live until I find a job, a place, money.... Right now, I have an apartment, a car, food, money that is all furnished. A baby needs a warm home, clothes and these things just dont magically appear overnight, its all easier said, than done.
I dont want to kill my baby, I want to keep my baby desperately, I dont care about the shame, hurt and embarrassment, only survival for the both of us
keep looking, and please be encouraged. you know it is the right thing to do.
let me tell you something I thought of.
i am a mother of 3, and I always try to defend and care for my children in every possible way.
If there was a car coming toward my child I would put myself in front of it to protect my child. You are now doing that very same thing. taking the blow for your child. Keep going, and know that you are really the only one who can protect this child.
I just second everything Sweet Melody wrote to you. This is much too important a decision (morally and every other way) to feel like you are "forced" into doing it. Doing whatever you need to do in order to keep the baby IS the right thing to do. Please don't resign yourself to having an abortion.
I don't know where to tell you to call, but you could probably start by getting in touch with the social services dept at a local hospital. Another thought is to contact some obstetricians offices and ask if they know of any resources to help young women in your situation. For that matter, someone at your nursing school might could give you some guidance and help here. Also, local adoption agencies would probably also be able to assist you. Try to see what's available in your community. They could assist and guide you from there. As Melody suggested, it would be much better to give up your baby for adoption rather than abort it. (In fact, years ago, my husband and I adopted our own son. Adoption can be a wonderful alternative actually) Even if you didn't end up putting the baby up for adoption, chances are an agency like this could give you some direction on where to get help. I believe that if you honor the Lord by preserving the life of your baby, He will supply your needs one way or the other. I realize this is a tough situation but hang in there. Truly, this is your decision, not your mother's. Please don't be forced into something that is dreadfully immoral and wrong.
Praying for you!
