I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I'm 18. The baby was unplanned as I was on the pill. I've just finished my A-levels.
I had a really bad start to my pregnancy with a suspected ectopic, thankfully on my second scan everything was there and there was a heartbeat.
My boyfriend is 21. At first my mum was really supportive but over the last few days she's turned really nasty. This morning she told me I've "fucked my entire life up" and the best thing for me is to get an abortion, get rid f my boyfriend and go to uni, get a job and then have a family. That's okay for her but I'm the one who has to live with an abortion for the rest of my life. I said that to her and she lashed out at me and hit me.
I have a part time job and my boyfriend is an IT technician but doesn't earn a great deal and I'm really, really worried about money. his parents have said we can live there. I can't help thinking my family is right and that my life is ruined. I love my baby already and don't know how I could go through with an abortion after seeing its heart beating on the scan. I just don't know what to do. I just needed somewhere to write this. I'm terrified that we'll have no money and that our lives will be rubbish forever and so will our baby's.
My mum was young when she had me and when I was younger she had MH problems and I have vivid memories of being kicked and hit as a child, and being told things when I was 5 like 'the police are coming to take you away to a naughty children's house and you'll never see me again'. She was physically abused by her mother as a child. I just feel like my whole life is a mess and I'm so worried. :(
