Hiya all, i am just looking for any advice n help anyone out there can give me. i just found out last week that im pregnant and i am awaiting midwife appointment and dating scan.
i am going to be alone in raising this child and it scares the hell out of me. i currently still live at home but know that i wanna leave home when the baby is born becus i feel ill need my own space.
i had a termination when i was 17 due to my partner persuading me to and i am currently receiving counselling because of this so i know that this would never be an option for me again.
i currently have a loan and credit card debt which scares me but i know there is a lot of help i can get but any support or advice would be greatly received many thanks

| just take a deep breath in and blow it out. count to 20 and just relax. i raised my son at age 20 all by myself with some of my parents help. i was scared at first but its not so bad. just take it day by day and does the father know? are you sure he dosent want to be there? ↑ |

| yes he doesnt want to be there, his initial reaction was im not ready to be a dad and i think ur only option is to get rid of it before you get too attached. maybe he doesnt want it at all, or maybe his first reaction was shock and becus hes scared as hes only 21 himself ↑ |

just let it soak in with him he might come around who knows. have you told your parents? do you have a job? are you ready to be a single parent?
sorry to hear about your first situation that must have been horrible to go through. ↑ |

| because of childcare etc, plus being single it will be hard for me to work more than part time because of how much money they will take off me for housing etc ↑ |

| i think you should take your maternity leave work full time and take your child to a home daycare, someone you trust. you have to work to support your child i was 20 working full time and it was hard and it would seem like i was just working to take care of my child but thats the sacrifice you take. ↑ |

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.
