She's pregnant

- I don't think that anyone can advise you on what to do in regards to your pregnancy. This is such a personal matter and you can't let other people's opinions affect you.
Our baby was a complete surprise as well. I have been on the pill since I was 14 for medical reasons (I am now 21 going on 22) and when I switch types, I usually skip periods. Well I switched right around time of conception and I also have a history of cysts in my uterus. That being said, you are not alone in the fact that you can go quite a while not knowing that you are pregnant. Mind you, I found out when I was 3 months pregnant, compared to you at 6. However I do have a friend who has a beautiful 4 year daughter and she had the same situation as you.
- I believe that you need to do what you believe is right and it may not be right to ANYONE else but you! Bringing a child into the world is a gift from God. You need to decide if this gift is what you want, need and can embrace right now. You also have to remember (as Dr.Phil says) our children don't pick us, they are stuck with us. So you need to make sure that this is not only right for you, but for your child as well.
There are many options out there. I believe in abortions if they are necessary, not as a means of birth control and adoption is very successful now a days too. I think you should sit down and think about each option and write down the pros and cons to each. I was very stuck as to what to do, as well. Although my husband was very supportive, it really boiled down to my decision. These were the questions I asked myself, so maybe they can help you!
I wish you luck and keep in touch! I was wondering if its not too personal, what your decision was, my sister has just turned 17 and is 8 weeks pregnant. She is trying to decide what to do. My family and I have given all the advise we can, but we dont have any personal experience of having a baby so young, and was wondering if you had any advise as you would have either had your baby by now or decided other wise. Muchly appreciated
