writes:My ex-boyfriend and I dated for almost a year on and off. I found out I was pregnant at 14 weeks, im now 17 weeks and he's offered several times to pay for me to get an abortion. That to me is not an option. Im having the child either way, however, I'm relatively by myself no friends and family as I moved out here due to work placement. Now more than ever I cannot resign to go back home as I need the work insurance. Is there anyone out there who has experienced something similar to me and how did they cope with a situation like this. Im constantly on the verge of tears and I cannot even rely on my childs dad.n

Personally i have never been in ur situation, but i just wanted to said that i admire you not to be too influence by your boyfriend to abort the child and to stick to want you want.
However it will be hard but worth it as you will love your little baby, but you will need to think long and hard about what will happen when the baby comes when it comes to work etc for example you will need babysitters etc and you will be tired and stress out. maybe you can reduce the hours you work etc or try to get transfered to near friends etc. I also think that no matter wat happens you need the support of your family as you need advice, consoling etc. So talk to them about your fear etc. But dont worry everything will work out.
Also I am unsure of were you are, but i know where i live you should be able to find groups of other single mothers etc who u can get support and advice from and make friends, so in your spare time look for information about this in job centre, creches etc. they should be able to point you in the right direction. so just just remember your not alone there are plenty of women out there in your shoes and there is support for you. heres a website too look on there are probably more out ther and actual groups in your area http://www.singlemom.com/
Good luck and I hope everything goes well.
