| oh, doubts about having the baby? im 18 years old, i wont be done with my one year college course until next dec. but somehow couples always seems to make it work. even those who only have min. wage jobs... ↑ |
| Lizzie, I just want to say that it's sooo wonderful to hear that you have sooo much support from you family and friends! That is extremely important with such a new change that is happening to your mind, body and life in general. I'm also proud of you that you will complete school before the baby comes-- that too, is extremely important to the rest of your life and the baby's life! Your doubts are normal. A couple of reasons come to mind... first , your hormones are messing with your head, second, you are young and the reality of it is scary --- thats's totally normal(plus I'm 30 and I have my own fears of having a baby because my expectations of my self are very high!) AND third, because you come from sooo much support you feel like you have to move forward with raising this child... you have time to figure it all out... I promise you, if your family and friends are in support... they most certainly will be supportive of alternative solutions like adoption. DON'T be sooo hard on yourself... if termination is out of the question (I agree) then you have some months to plan what YOU want... you have time to talk to doctors and people who can talk to you about your worries and overall feelings! There is no easy answer... just educate youself and work on YOUR confidence with the situation! Good Luck! ↑ |
