When we find ourselves facing an unplanned pregnancy it is easy to feel overwhelmed with the decisions that must be made. This decision however becomes critically important in the sense that there is, with a pregnancy, an innocent life to take into account. It becomes, no longer, about you but about the baby whose life you are responsible for. I'm not saying you must make the decision right away. When first learning about an unplanned pregnancy you should decide who has priority before you decide anything else. Is it you, the baby's father, parents, or the baby you carry? The baby's safety and well being should always be first and foremost the most important priority. Then of course yourself. This baby is counting on you to protect them and care for them.
It is always OK to ask for help and opinions but ultimately the decision needs to be yours. There will be people who try to sway your decision, that is a given. Stay strong and remember your priorities.
Whether you decide to place your child, single parent, or get married the decision is yours. As mentors we are not here to sway your decision or try to change your mind in anyway, we are here for support and the sharing of real life experiences. We've all been in your shoes and we know how difficult it is to make any decision regarding an unplanned pregnancy.
