Is teen pregnancy really that wrong? Can I not keep my child? Why do people shame young mothers?

I'm 20 still schooling, but I'm6 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend's. I'm loving every moment of my pregnancy especially can't wait to see my little baby bump. But sadly I have to abort the child before I'm 6 months pregnant. This was the plan because I am financially unstable to support the baby and my boyfriend too. I know I will be fine if I go for abortion but does anyone thinks otherwise? Should I keep my baby? I'm not even sad about having this child while I should feel guilty. I wish I could keep this baby but for now i have to do whats right to prevent shame, isolation or the possibility of my parents kicking me out of house. #advicepls

I found out I was pregnant at 19; however, not once did I think of having an abortion. I went through the pregnancy and left home before I showed. I braced myself having to face my family’s anger and having to work to support my baby. After months of being away from home, my parents did everything to track me and bring me home. Naturally, they were angry as I am the first disappointed/embarrassment from a family that had nothing but good reputation. However, upon returning home, they made me feel that despite what I’d done, I belong. They supported me from then till now. So my advice to you is to muster the courage to talk to your family first. Let them know the situation that you’re in.
