Hello Monica,
My heart goes out to you. I can say I know how you feel. But now, five months into an unplanned and previously unwanted pregnancy, I can say it gets better.

I want to ask you to consider very carefully the decisions you have in front of you. No option you have will be easy. I terminated a pregnacy once, because, I was in the wrong place in my life. I won't characterize my feelings toward my abortion as regret. But I will never be the same. I often wonder what the child would have looked like or what the sex was. Not even growing this new life inside of me has erased what happened. It is burned into my mind.

No, rearing children is not easy and is not cheap. I fear everyday that I am illequipt for motherhood. I know it will completely change my life. It takes great strength everyday to overcome these fears. But then, I am a strong woman, and I am glad of my choice to keep this child. I am almost five months and just got to see my son on an ultrasound. It took my breath away to see him waving at me. He is a miracle.

Your choice is your own. No one, not your boyfriend, or your family or your friends or anyone who may give you advice can tell you which path is the right for your life. Assess your situation carefully and do not forget to listen to your intuition. Please update if you would like. The women here always have great ideas and encouragement.

Best wishes. ~Mary~

Hi Olivia,

We have no way of knowing if you're pregnant or not. And although there are symptoms, the only real way to find out is to take a pregnancy test. You can find them for $8.00 and up at Walmart (I've even seen some cheaper than that). Or, you could get one for FREE at your local crisis pregnancy center.

Please let us know that results. If you need support, we'll be here.

Take care,

Shellie
