You may have people telling you this pregnancy will ruin your life or you can just have a baby when you’re ready and you should have an abortion. But what you think and feel about this is important and you can and should listen to your own instincts. There is support available to you to help you create a positive plan for both you and your baby.
Getting advice on your pregnancy options from people you trust is really important, however, it is also important to evaluate where their opinions are coming from. Do they truly care about you and what is most valuable to you or do they have selfish motivations for their advice? Is their advice coming from a place of fear? Does their advice align with your values of what you believe is true and right? Who do you have that you know will give you the truth and truly care about what is best for you and your baby?
Deciding to keep your baby is a beautiful, brave choice. It is life changing, but it can be an amazing one. Every woman has a right to support so that she truly has positive options to choose from. The right to choose should always include the right to keep your baby and be supported as you do so.
So don’t ever let someone tell you that you are selfish or stupid to keep your baby. Think ahead to those moments when you hold your child in your arms, hold their hand as they take their first steps, and hear their sweet little voice say “mama” for the first time. Look at all the successful people who say, “Thanks, Mom! You sacrificed so much for me and I couldn’t have done it without you.”
It’s okay to keep your baby! And if this is what you needed to hear to know you were doing the right thing by having your baby, we’re glad you’re here.
You’ve got this. And we’re right here with you. We’re not going anywhere.
