You don't have to do it on your own. There are Christian groups in your area who can help you now, not only up through the time of you giving birth to your precious little baby from God, but also can help you afterward as a young Mom. Please seek these local Christian groups out today, for they are out there just waiting for people like you to call upon them and tell them everything that you're worried about.

Have you thought about adoption? I know, I REALLY know that the thought of it seems so far out, but I did it with my first two children, my twins. Faith Ann and Joseph David, born 12/15/2001, I had to give them up to give them a life I could not. They have wonderful Christian parents now, praise God.
That is not the only option, but know that you CAN do this. No man or boy could give you the kind of unconditional love your child will, or that Jesus does already. Pray that you make the right decision, and with God, the right decision isn't always the easy one. But it could be that He is taking you through this trial to create in you a new heart and a testimony, and to give you more abundant life.
Remember, single parenting is NOT a sin. If you keep this baby and your BF leaves, it could be for the better. If you need resources I can help you with that. There are SO many places that help mothers get a new start on a better life.
Bless you, my new sister in Christ. Jesus loves you, and I do too!

I agree, please, please, please allow your baby to be adopted. I don't know how young you are, but it sounds like you are in no position to support a child.

With regard to abortion, let me ask you this. Could you hold a newborn baby in your arms, look into her eyes and then strangle her until she died? The baby that you carry, that little boy or girl, is every bit as much of a person as the child you see playing on the street. The child you carry is not an "it". He or she is a human being with a heart beating just like yours.

Could you throw a baby in the trash? I don't think so. If you do, you will have a life time of regret. You will always wonder what the baby could have grown up to be. You will always wonder what you have destroyed, simply because you were scared.

There are many people who desperately want to raise a child in a loving family but cannot do so. You can help them and give your baby a good life. You need to make a mature adult choice. Choose life, not death. Please.

Being a parent changes how you think about parenthood, and also your own life. There's a shift in your emotions that I can't explain -- natural instincts -- that will cause you to want to do everything to give the child a good life.

It is hard to see now, when it's just something in your belly. But the first year, you will be amazed at how you have risen to the challenge, and inner priorities have shifted. It's hard work, but makes a person feel like "this is what life is." There's satisfaction in providing for someone else. You know how crazy people get over caring for puppies and feeding squirrels -- imagine how that would work for kids too. You'll be fine. But line up some help now -- you'll wish you had lots of support.
