friends help: I still need help. - Help.com

Well first you should probably quit smoking and drinking since you are responsible for your babies life and this stuff is not good to do while you are pregnant. Start saving every penny you can so that you will be able to take care of your baby and provide the baby with a good life. I wasn’t happy with the guy I was with when we started to get closer, but now I love him so much and I feel he taught me true love. The reason i couldn’t love and be happy with him was because I was still holding on to my ex. You have to leave the past in the past. Look foward to Your new life as a mom, your child will look up to you and give you more love than you could ever imagine. Begin to take some mothering classes and you will probably meet some girls that are going through the same stuff as you, that can help you and be good friends. Because you are not alone, many people are around you, you just have to look in the right places.

Choices in life are never easy to live with but live we must. There is not a person on this Earth than hasn’t made a bad choice or two.

Can you talk to the father of the baby and try to work things out?

I don’t know how old you are but, there are other possibilities like giving the baby up for adoption or possibly your Mom or an Aunt can look after the baby while you work or go to school.

You have to look out for yourself because you are pregnant. You are not alone and others have travel down the road you have decided to take and they made it.

Please don’t be down on yourself. You owe to yourself and your baby to remain as positive about this experience as possible. You are very important and you are going to be a Mom soon. I wish you all the best.

The only advice I have it what has already been given.

Your young, you make mistake and you learn from them, that is what growing up and becoming an adult is all about and the catch is that sometimes the mistakes you do make you can’t learn from, like becomming pregnant.
But, you are pregnant and you have to deal with that fact because soon enough there is going to be someone else in your life who will rely totally on you so you need to get your act together now.

Stop being depressed about the situation you are in now and do something about it. Other people will not fix everything for you, you need to try and fix it yourself and only then will the people around you help, when they see that you are making an effort to change and to be responsible.

Thank you LazyDaze I couldn’t have said it better.

Does anyone know about your pregnancy?

Talk about it to your priest or whatever your religion to the appropriate person. I know there are Catholic groups who could find potential adopting parents to support you financially while you are pregnant. It seems that you are very young. Life’s ahead of you. Do not despair. We all go through good and bad times. But do let the father know before doing anything else.
