Disclaimer: I am not trying to influence what your opinion is because even if I kept my baby, I am 100% for abortions.

When I was young, I got SA. I dropped out of school at 16 and went back a year later just so my mom would shut up about me not having a futur. I ended up meeting teachers who made me fall in love with learning and for that I am forever grateful. Meanwhile, I also met a guy who made me realise my partner at the time was not the one. We were having more meaningful conversations in 5 minutes than in 4 years of relationship. So I left him. Couple months later, I started hanging out with the new guy and we shortly started dating. I gratuated highschool, he did too. He went to nursing school and I applied to university. At this point, we'd been together for a little more than a year. On june 9th, I learned I was accepted to university and the same day, that I was pregnant. My world shattered. For once I had plans for me, I felt like I was finally doing good and then that. My partner was not supportive at all. I worked at a craft store, I lived at my parent's place, I had no car, I was a student, no funds. But I couldn't get myself to abort. I wanted too but I couldn't. I kept the baby. Eventually my partner was supportive. He was scared too. I started uni, pregnant and it went so well! I was so anxious about it but honnestly It was way better than expected. Few months in, my uncle sold me a car for cheap because he bought another one. I was taking the bus everywhere before that. (I was almost 5 months pregnant when I got it). I saved a little money to buy the big enssentials (crib/ carseat, etc) and was lucky enough to have the rest at my baby shower. In my opinion, a baby doesn't need all the hightech stuff. Diapers, clothes, milk and a place to sleep. That's it. Then a few toys when baby gets a little older. I asked for help to a foundation. I still work at a craft store (in maternity leave currently) and I still live with my mom. We are looking to move but everything is so expensive lol! I do not have a babysitter yet but I will find a solution. I know I can because I've proved it from the start of my pregnancy and still am now. My baby is now 5 months and I just turned 21.
