im almost 16 years old and I just recently found out that im pregnant lots of people are tellin me to get an abortion or give it up,I dont want to I would give that baby anything it ever needed and wanted do you think I should give it up or abortion?

Answer #1

I wouldn’t let anybody get in my way of makinf a right decision. You must be strong for this baby–nobody else can stad up for it, it cant stand for itself you are its only hope. abortion is WRONG! there is a better way. This child is ALIVE and helpless and can feel everything that is being done to its poor helpless body. From the day of conception this child has brain waves and its fragile body is already starting to form.

A few life development Facts 20 days: Foundations of brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid. 24 days: Heart begins to beat. 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7 mm (1/4’) long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins (but stays separate from mother’s blood). 35 days: Pituitary gland in brain is forming. Mouth, ears and nose are taking shape. 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun. Pen*s is forming in boys. (Mother misses second period.) 43 days: Brain waves can be recorded. 8 1/2 weeks: Fingerprints are being engraved. Eyelids and palms of hands are sensitive to touch. 9 weeks: Child will bend fingers around an object placed in the palm. Thumb sucking occurs. Fingernails are now forming. 10 weeks: Body is sensitive to touch. Child squints, swallows, puckers up brow and frowns. 11 weeks: Baby urinates, makes complex facial expressions - even smiles. 12 weeks: Vigorous activity shows distinct individuality. Child can kick, turn feet, curl and fan toes, make a fist, move thumbs, bend wrists, turn head, open mouth and press lips tightly together. Breathing is practiced. 13 weeks: Face is prettier, facial expressions resembling parents’. Movements are graceful, reflexes vigorous. Vocal chords are formed (but without air baby cannot cry). Sex organs are apparent. 4 months: Child can grasp with hands, swim and turn somersaults. 5 months: Sleeping habits appear, but a slammed door will provoke activity. Child responds to sounds in frequencies too high or low for adults to hear. 6 months: Fine hair grows on eye brows & head. Eye-lash fringe appears. Weight is about 640g (22 oz.), height 23 cm (9’). Babies born at this age have survived. 7 months: Eye teeth are present. Eyelids open and close, eyes look around. Hands grip strongly. Mother’s voice is heard and recognized.

This is a living breathing child, and not only would you be harming it-you’d be emotionally harming yourself. I believe that EVERY person in this world has a purpose and a destiny–this child will make an impression on this earth. There are other ways to ‘get out of this’..although a child is a true blessing adoption is a great way to relieve yourself and make another loving family very happy and grateful and blessed. This is something that you cant take back…think about it. pray about it.

God bless

Answer #2

PLEASE DONT HAVE AN ABORTION!!! I have no doubt that you would give your baby anything and everything, but in reality unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or the father is wealthy, at your age, you wouldnt be able to give him or her anything and everything. I am a mother of three, and I cannot imagine giving one of my kids up for adoption. I have to say however, I can respect a woman or girl a whole lot for realizing it is in the best interest and loving your baby enough to be selfless and give that baby a chance to have a good upbringing. You have a very difficult decision to make and I think talking with your parents would be the best way to go in making a decison. If you keep the baby its going to be hard, I promise you that. All I ask is PLEASE dont have an abortion.

Answer #3

you definitly shouldnt get an abortion you should keep your baby but if anything adoption

Answer #4

it is no one elses decxision but your. If you want to have the baby, have it. Don’t let anyone make the choice for you. I had gotten pregnant this past december, and mt mother forced me to get an abortion. I hated it. And I had to only because she threatened me saying that she would charge statuitory rape on my fiance if I didnt. If you want to abort the baby or give it up for adoption or havit the baby, it is your choice! so please just think about it, because it was the worst experience of my life knowing that I had to kill my baby, I live with it every day. But if it was my choice, then I wouldnt feel so bad, but it wasnt I was forced to. So please make the decision yourself! Best of luck to you, and if you have any questions or need to talk, fun mail me =] I Hope that I helped!

Answer #5

it’s a lot like the person above me said… basically, you said it yourself in your question. you DON’T WANT TO. follow your heart in this one. if you think you can do it, and that’s your decision, then do it. people will lecture you about bad decisions, but the fact is that you are already in this situation and need to deal with it.

Answer #6

I don’t personally believe in abortions, so personally I say no. If it’s what you want though, and you can handle it, go for it. If you don’t think you can handle a child, adoption would be the best option. You say you want it, and would take care of it. I think that is for the best. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do with your baby. It is your decision that you will be living with for the rest of your life. Not to mention adoption could cause your baby to have an attachment disorder if it isn’t immediate. Never doubt that you could take care of it if you believe strongly that you can. Maternal instinct, even at 16, can be very strong, and the best thing for your baby. I hope you make the decision that is best for you, and your baby. Not what is thought to be best by parents, friends, relatives or anyone else. Good luck, and best wishes.

Answer #7

if you want this baby have this baby, it’s nobody elses choice, don’t let peopel decide for you but remember, babies take up all your time, you give up your teenage years and young youth to look after the baby, and babies cost a lot of money ,but thats not whats its about, if you love it, care for it and protect it as any mother would, go for it. best of luck, erin x

Answer #8

Answer #9

UM. NO. honestly I would just take the wrapp, killing a baby to me is to heartless. no one can tell you what to do. think of the person that you could bring into the world… and think of the person that you can take OUT of the world…

Answer #10

I had a baby at 14 years old and it turned out to be one of my biggest blessings. please dont make the mistakes my best friends regret. God will take care of you both as long as you just ask. you’re getting ablessing that a lot of people cant recieve.

Answer #11

You are the only one who can decide, but if you don’t want an abortion, don’t have one.

Answer #12

No! this is your baby if you want to go around the world sayin wheres my mommie a baby can live without a father but a mother is were the heart is have you ever seen a person get on stage and say hi dad no its hi mom.

Answer #13

no matter what you say at 16 you are not ready for a kid. you can go through with the pregnancy but I would put the kid up for adoption. its the best for both of you. this way you can finish school and go on to a career. just think of all of the possible outcomes of having the child, physical, mental and money wise.

Answer #14

DO NOT ABORT YOUR BABY. If you feel that you cannot take care of the baby or that you are not ready to take care of it, put it up for adoption. A chance at a life is better than no life at all.

Answer #15

there are lots of couples who want to adopt and an agency is not the only way to go there is a type of adoption called independent adoption which my husband and I are trying to do right now if you would like more info about this option please let me know

Answer #16

if you feel up to it keep the baby. they are wonderful. I just had one. they are hard to take care of. but its not that hard. abortion is murder. I would give it up for adoption if you cant take care of it.

Answer #17

NO abortion. Either try to work it out so that you will have the support you need to finish high school or strongly consider adoption. It will be the most difficult decision of your life, so please make it be the right choice.

Answer #18

you are a male

Answer #19

its nobody elses choice but YOURS! if you want to keep the baby then do!, but babys need all your time and attention!! they are incredibly expensive!!!.you should have used contraception! then you wouldnt be in this situation, and you wil also have 2 mentally physicaly and emotional prepare urself for lots of sleepless nights! being with you baby 24/7 good luck x

Answer #20

You are very young to be pregnant and to have to decide to keep the child or not. Babies are expensive and take constant care. It is not easy work. You need to sit and think this through. What are your plans for the future? College? Being that you are 16, your parents would be the ones to really care for the baby. Is that right for them to ahve to do? Can they financially care for another child? There is so much to consider. I do beleive that there are so many couples out there that will adopt and care for your child very well, should you decide to put him/her up for adoption. You’ve got a lot of thinking to do. Also does the father of the baby know? What does he say or feel about it?

Answer #21

FIRST OF ALL CONGRATS :)

IM 15 AND I WANT A BABY, BUT IM DONT FINK IDE BE ABLE TO LOOK AFTER IT, because I AINT GOT ANYMONEY, I MEAN I NO MY MUM WUD HELP PAY, BUT IDE FEEL GUILTY.

PERSONALLI I DONT THINK ABORTIONS ARE RIGHT, BUT YOU NEED TO DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT

HOPEEE I HELPED…:)

Answer #22

this is your choice and if you think you can care for this child and in this case it seems to me like you have the right idea about this situation knowing that you will have to give your baby everything in the world will help you a lot.=] I think you should keep it and haveing this baby doesnt mean give up your schooling because you can be a great person and live a wonderful life with a beautiful baby girl or boy !!! keep me clued in k CONGRATS & the best of luck to you new mommy

Answer #23

Also, there are plenty of programs to help you support this child. You could get medicaid for health insurance for you and the baby. They pay for everything except a circumcision (sp). That includes while your pg, labor and delivery and after the baby is born. If you don’t have enough food, or the right kinds of food to support this baby’s growing needs, you can apply for WIC. They help you out with juices to drink, milk, cheese, cereal, bread, and other things like that. I can’t remember it all right now, but you can surely look it up. If your parents are concerned about those costs, these options will certainly help you out.

Answer #24

I think that you should not give up the baby b/because you could bring another human being into this world and teach them about everything they need to know.And you’re right, you could give/do anything for this child…Plus just follow your mind,your heart,your soul and decide what you are going to do…But I really think that you should keep the baby,and have a great life with the pretty boy,or pretty baby girl…Good Luck

Answer #25

NO! You should not give it up. Even if you are sixteen it is YOUR child and you do what you want to do, don’t listen to what other people are saying because you will regret it later in life. So many teens get pregnant and keep their babies, and they make it just fine. But dont do something you will regret, do what makes you happy! :) Noone can make that choice for you.

hope I helped, xoxo :)
