    At 8 weeks pregnant, with no partner, and a good Uni place lined up for a few months time I know what I would be recommending for my own daughter.

    Don't we all!

    I'm confused - in the OP's first post she says she's recently found out that she's 8 weeks pregnant yet further on she says that the negative reaction from her mother has been going on for 6 weeks?!

    I noticed that, 6 weeks ago she would have been conceiving and unaware of being pregnant. What with that and already having a scan think this is a wind up.

    I think it's a wind up too. First post says she has no family support, then a few posts down her aunt and grandmother can help her.;)

    Why is the father being let off the hook and the taxpayer expected to fork out instead?
    If the BabyDaddy can opt out paying for his child can I as well?
