I think the best idea is to have an Ultrasound a friend of my husbands got pregnant wasn't in a stable relationship, was sort of in limbo in her life... my husband went with her to the abortion clinic where she has an ultrasound. He said she squeezed his hand so tight when she heard it's heart beating she stopped the blood from flowing... she started crying and told my husband she was wrong and there was no way she could have an abortion... it might be best if you do the same you may feel the same or you may not... you can only know the answer. it might be tough with a baby so young but that don't mean you can't do it...

good luck

baby girl... you're 19, don't consider yourself to be stressed... how you welcome this blessing into your life is up to you... if you have a good relationship with your parents, open the door for conversation and apologize to your mom for not being honest... when i found out that my then 16 year old was pregnant, i was hurt... i didn't want her to be judged by others for making the mistake of not using protection... many of her friends' parents forbid them from socializing with her... but being the supportive mother that i am, i was there for her 1,000% plus... went to lamaze classes, maternity shopping, baby clothes shopping... she even allowed me to name her daughter... (combined sanaa latham with alliyah...si'niyah)... to this day, i'm glad she chose to involve me by first telling me... parents who belittle their children, despite the age, for getting pregnant need a serious dose of reality check... talking to the youth about sex is not an option anymore, it's a priority... they can't expect perfection in an imperfect home... too many parents worry about what others may think of their daughters getting pregnant out of wedlock... this is 2008, these aren't the days of limitations... don't be mislead into thinking that a child will hinder you from persuing your dreams & goals... just don't get pregnant again until you've finished college and has started your career... in other words, use protection... if your parents refuse to listen or are angry, tell them to keep in mind all the good that you've done... and consider that they've made mistakes in their youth too... when parents show anger and turn their backs on their children, they don't realize this is what keeps their children from being honest or talking to them about what's going on in their lives in the first place... seek a support group... no matter what you choose to do... a couple of my daughter's friends didn't tell their parents they were pregnant right away and ended up being kiced out... which i've told them they were wrong for doing it, if they were close to their children and didn't instill that fear in them when and if they make mistakes, they would've came to them sooner, like at the decision to start having sex, not after conception... and as for an abortion, not my choice, although i'm not 100% against it depending on the situation... but the longer one waits, it goes from a "simple" procedure, to actually delivering a baby... to the point of inducing your labor, making you push the baby out as if you carried it to full term... when the baby is delivered, you can see facial features, fingers, toes, hair, the gender, everything... (the films they show on abortion are real) so unless you don't mind living with that vision, i wouldn't suggest it... if anything, consider foster care or adoption... but if you think you may change your mind and want your child back in the future, you might want to really consider keeping him/her... the choice is yours... if you believe in YaHWeH, pray for understanding baby girl~

im 19 too. my closet friend got preg. when she was 17. She swore u pand down that getting an abortion would be the right thing, same reason as you. we finally convinced her to go ahead and keep her child. needless to say, she had a son, hes a few months old now. her parents kicked her out of the house and shes now staying with the baby's father at his parents house.

the fact of the matter, this is a life that is growing inside of you. the best option for you is to let it live. you have choices of course: adoption and caring for it yourself. abortion only brings despare and pain.

my friend, once a rebelous teen who never wanted to have children, is now a VERY happy mother. it was Gods way of telling her to grow up and be responsible. Its not going to be easy at first but if you trust in yourself, you'll make the right choice. just please keep in mind that a person's life is in your hands; theres always adoption. i thank my birth mother everyday that she didnt abort me. i got a second chance at life because of her. i may not know the woman who gave birth to me, but i live in a very nice home and ive had a wonderful life. please respect your baby enough to give it the life it deserves.

love and peace
