Pregnant and alone. /: -
May 4th 2010, 02:41 AM
I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant. It's not confirmed yet, but I'm most likely 6 weeks along. The only thing I've decided is that my parents NOR my boyfriend are going to be informed. My parents would kill me for my age and the age difference in me and my boyfriend (he's twenty, I'm sixteen). And I'm not telling him because I don't think he needs the stress in his life right now. Although I think he suspects it anyway.
I'm debating between adoption and abortion (my boyfriend would lean towards abortion. He's already shared that view). I'm also leaning more towards that way, but I want to know everything I possibly can before I make the decision. Although I'm pretty sure I have but 3 weeks to decide if I want an abortion - as I'm not sure I can do the in-clinic. It sounds too hard, so I'd lean more for the pill form.
On top of that, I'm broke. I lost my job. He's broke. He lost his job. We're both trying to get back on our feet and we can't pay for the necessities that come with pregnancy. I haven't had my pregnancy confirmed, I haven't a clue how far I am other than a guess, and I can't pay for hospital visits and such.
And if abortion is my path at the end of this, I can't pay for it. I don't know HOW I'd get money. I'm feeling trapped already.
Is there any advice that I can get on the matter?
Any tips on dealing with the pregnancy I have before me?
I've been sleeping so much lately. And I've been so unbearably nauseous. What can I do about that? Crackers haven't been helping and it's getting ridiculous looking I'm taking in BOXES of crackers at a time.
On top of that, my back is hurting and my ankles swollen. And my mood is swinging each and every way at the drop of a pin.
I've cried over the stupidest things and my depression is spiraling downward because of this.
Any advice on how to help ease this?
I really don't need my depression worse right now... /:
