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

Hey babe, Don’t abort the baby. Every child is precious and while it seems that the path is bleak now, it doesn’t mean there is no way out. In terms of finances - there will be ways. Also, your parents love you so much, why would they kick you out of the house? Pls consider this carefully and don’t make rash decisions when you’re emotional. Have a good sit down with your bf and parents. Talk it out. I’m sure things will be ok. Take care! All the mummies are here for you. You’re not in this alone.
