Yesterday i found out i was pregnant. I have thought all day about an abortion, because the father already has three children of his own and i know i will be left to raise this child alone. I dont have any close friends, and the only person i can talk to is my mom but i need help from some one else. I am 22 years old. Is this too young? What will my dad say? I am really scared and feel really alone...

Hi hun,
What you really need to do right now is sit back and relax. Go through all your options (pros and cons). I'm 17 and am pregnant with my second child right now (same daddy). I am handling it just fine, and I'm sure you can handle a baby just fine too. I do not think 22 is too young. If you ever want anyone to talk to, I'm always here. Good luck with your decision.

You are NOT too young! You can do this! It's going to be hard, especially since the father isn't going to be involved, but the baby will be more than enough of a reward in the end.
Your dad will probably be upset at first, but parents usually forgive their kids after a little while.
If you need support, try a Crisis Pregnancy center, or try calling one of the numbers on the right hand side bar of this site. (And you can get support on this site too!)
Please don't abort your baby, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
How are you doing?

Thank you for the encouragement. I am going to keep it. One other problem tho... i just got laid off from my job so i dont have insurance. What should i do?

Well, try a crisis pregnancy center, they should be able to help with doctor appointments and stuff. I'm not really sure about anything else because I'm not really keyed into insurance and all that. But I'm really glad that you have decided to keep your baby!

Congrats on deciding to keep the baby. It will definitely be worth it. As for insurance you could always apply for medicaid (in wisconsin it's called badgercare). That's what I'm on right now and it covers maternity. I'm not really sure about a lot of insurance stuff, but I hope that helped a little.
