Sounds like the only thing you should be considering getting rid of his HIM!!!! Did he not use protection? If this happend before you would have thought he would realize he could be in this situation again.

Do you have any friends or family that you can lean on for support?
I would start there and if he doesn't understand that your serious about keeping the baby then he needs to go.

I too am interested about your support system, not including him. Do you have your parents or friends that can help you? Do you live with him? If you live with him does he support you financially? I don't want to meddle but these things can change your situation.

You obviously can't choose to not have the baby if you can't handle doing it again....so you need people around you to give you guidance in the keeping the baby department. He may come around (sometimes they do) but for you and that baby, you guys deserve better treatment than that. You and the baby are valuable people who can have a great future, with or without him, that's his choice to make.

Yes my family has been very supportive. When I found out I was pregnant again and after telling my boyfriend and him telling me to get an abortion, I just broke down and went to my mom and told her everything. It was a real relief, I had felt so guilty about my abortion that the only person that knew was my boyfriend and he wouldn't talk about it so I had to keep it to myself. My mother told me that my Aunt had been through the same thing (she passed away years ago) and that she understood, and also that my father (who passed away last year) had wanted my mom to abort me. She told me it was my body and my choice no matter what my boyfriend wanted me to do. And if he wanted an abortion then he can go get one himself.

Luckily my mom and step dad have really been there for me, they are letting me stay rent free until the baby comes and then I will be looking for a house to put a down payment on and they are also buying me my crib, changing table and rocking chair.

I have 4 sisters, one older and three younger as well as an older and younger brother. My older sister is excited and is also helping me and my younger brother and one sister that live here are still trying to get use to the idea. My older brother and two other sisters don't know yet since they don't live here and we don't keep very good contact.

(My family is very big and confussing as I have one whole sister, one half sister, two half brothers and two step sisters. My biological father who's deceased an ex step dad and a current step dad.)

Men often come around later. In truth, if he doesn't, you still have a wonderful little souvenir, and best of all, this little being is a part of YOU! Made by you, and tied to you forever. I didn't have my first until I was 38, and everything I did before then seems meaningless by comparison, tough as it is now. Lots of people aren't good moms at first. That's why we grow, learn and change. It is worth it. Betcha you didn't walk very well when you first started walking, and look at you now!!! Baby isn't growing inside him, so he's not attached yet, so it seems like something easy to take care of. Believe me, it isn't so easy. Some men never understand the bond we have, others grow their own, still others are too daft. You'll work it out for the best for yourself and baby. It's a great group of ladies here to lean on, even if it is just cyberspace, we are all real people.
