Well, I think I am pregnant, but 100% sure yet, it was not planned! I am 22 and I currently live with my parents (as they travel for 9 months of a year and i house sit while they are away) anyway, my boyfriend is 24 (nearly 25, but acts 17) anyway, he already has one child he never see's (Yeah i know, what an asshole right?, i should know better?) but apart from that, i know he wouldnt stand by me if i was pregnant and decided to keep the baby, its a sad reality, but im slowly coming to terms with it. The doctor has told me i have endometriosis and i should have a child asap, otherwise it might not be possible. My parents dont want me to have children, not for a long time, they dont even want me to get married they tell me i should work and travel and do everything first... i know they would make me move out if i want pregnant, or guilt me into not keeping it... so, i dont have anyone.
what would you do in my situation? I'm from Western Australia (I know theres prob not many WA people here, but if want can you help me of the government help i would get?) also i would go back to work after having the child. should i take this opertunity...

What is your "opportunity"!?! Do you mean getting pregnant with this teen age acting "asshole" (your words)!?! You have got to be kidding. Anyway, I think you know what most people would say about the man of your choice. I think you should get another opinion about your endometriosis. It might not be necessary that you get pregnant RIGHT NOW in your life. Good luck!

Oh, I mis read your email. You think you are already pregnant. Well you answered your own question about taking the opportunity to get pregnant. I still think a 2nd drs opinion would be in order. Too bad the father is an "asshole". That ain't going to fun.,

if your pregnant...then your pregnant and live up to your 20 year commitment. If you are not pregnant...don't I repeat don't get pregnant by this guy...take it from someone who is in a situation very much like your...except I have PCOS, I unfortunetly got pregnant by a 26 nearly 27 year old who still acts like he is 12 sometimes. I am 22 weeks pregnant and couldn't be happier about the baby, but the father just drives me up the wall. He heard the baby had a club foot and his responds was my baby's going to be retarded. He refused to help with anything and all he is one big pile of negativety. He doesn't directly talk to me...he has his friends and family spy on me...if I try to talk to him like an adult he throws this tantrum...and says I got pregnant on purpose and he doesn't have to F*** talk to me...and he wants nothing to do with me or the baby...my reply is if that is true then call of your team of spys and sign over your rights. but he won't so please please don't get pregnant by this guy...if you are then good luck and happy headaches. :-)

If you get rid of the baby...especially the way you are talking...you will feel like you commited murder. My friend used to manage a pregnancy center, She said "I guess I know a little too much about the aftereffects of abortion (we counseled many who suffered greatly, even those who were very pro-choice). " that is a direct quote out of an email she sent me when I first found out I was pregnant and all of my ex's friends and family were tring to talk me in to an abortion.

Are you pregnant? You have me so confused. Sit and think about this. Your 22 years old and that means you make your life decisions. No one else does it for you. Is having a baby what you want? What in life do you want? Will the baby be part of that or get in the way? Now if you are pregnant now and you feel it;s gonna get in the way. Think of adoption please. If you need more (m bostick 25 at yahoo dot com) anytime.
