[ Original Post ]

Im actually still 18, but I turn 19 on the 16th of this month. I found out I was pregnant on August 25th. The father of my baby, unfortunately, is not around. Hes in complete denial that its his baby, and hes assuming I "Mustt have slept around" [which is not true, at all.]] The only people Ive told about my pregnancy are my close friends. Im still torn between keeping this baby, or getting an abortion. I cant help to think that if my mom got an abortion at my age then I wouldnt be here today. But I already have this overwhelming feeling that this baby is going to be a boy. My best friend just recently got an abortion and even she says that when she sees a baby she thinks about what she could have had...I really want to keep the baby, but I know its going to be a lot of hard work and take a lot of care and money. Im so afraid to tell my mom and my stepdad about this, because Im afaid Im going to get kicked out...Anyone else know how this feels? I need someone to relate to. =/ ↓

Are you pregnant and hiding it from your friends and family? Have you kept your pregnancy a secret because of social or family consequences? Are you taking drastic measures to keep your growing belly hidden? Do you plan to share the news with your loved ones before the birth? Or are you planning to enter a facility or disappear for the last months of your pregnancy? Are you working out an adoption plan or struggling with the decision to keep the baby? If so, Gigantic! Productions wants to hear your story.
