Massive thank you to everybody, I've read all of the posts and want to thank the 3 wonderful ladies that sent me PMs
They were all very kind and helpful.
I spoke to John and I have decided to keep the baby regardless of what he wants. Today he said when I said I wanted to keep it "well you know it's a big thing to commit to...." and it is, but I can tell he really doesn't want it as much as I maybe thought.... I don't know.... I don't think he has really thought it through a great deal. My parents are both very much behind me in this. My dad is a worryguts and is scared for me, not the fact I've decided to have the baby, the actual pregnancy etc... my mum is very supportive, she had me at 20 which is only a few years older than me... "freedom" being ruined by a child isn't a big deal to me.... not at all
I am going to try and keep working as hard as I can, over the summer I will definitely be working.
I will keep you all posted - THANK YOU!!:coffee:I need a proper cup of coffee in a proper coffee cup:coffee:0 -
Congratulations and i hope everything goes well for you Cait2. It is a big thing but from the sounds of your posts you have your head screwed on. Don't forget to come join the pregnancy threads they can be invaluable sources of information especially for first timers i'm on my fourth and i'm still learning things. :-) x:jFriends are like fabric you can never have enough:j0

Morning sickness for me both times was 5-6 weeks but it depends on each person.

Cait2 ...
You may be old enough to have a baby ... but are you old enough to look after it?
It's a serious, tough, full-time job. You can't pack it in when you've had enough. The responsibility is total. It will require skills you don't even possess yet."Never underestimate the mindless force of a government bureaucracyseeking to expand its power, dominion and budget"Jay Stanley, American Civil Liberties Union.0 -

I think I have it in me to do what I have to.Although I didn't plan a pregnancy, I did know I wanted children in the future, so I know how much I will (well obviously...) love this baby.:)Regardless of John.
And I won't pack it in or give up.0
