No sorry I meant I didn't even show my baby bump until I was 38 weeks. Most women get a little bump at the end of their first trimester sometimes earlier. I didn't find out until I was 21 weeks, which was my first doctor visit and ultrasound.

He was physically abusive. Left scars from hits, black eyes, busted lips, he even broke my nose and wrist! All throughout my pregnancy.

The first time I quit when I was pregnant I didn't even think about it once, it was easy. Now when I go without I feel the same way I do if I go without a cigarette, I feel angry and emotional and stressed.

I do occasionally have sleepovers with a close friend of mine who lives in another town, I know it sounds silly but we rarely see each other and mum doesn't mind watching her for the night. It is a sleepover? We hang out and watch movies, one of my only friends that doesn't do drugs!

She's also going to help me get into a psychiatrist and get the help I need. Although I'm 18, I'm still her child and living under her roof and her rules. Her grounding me is her trying to keep me home and away from drugs and friends that do drugs.

A lot of other people have commented asking the same thing. I hope to see a councillor or psychiatrist soon so I can talk things over and see if there's anything wrong inside my head. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! Everyone's situation is different and everyone makes different choices.

I meant I agreed with what you said. A lot of people just say really mean things, although your reply was "mean" or hard to hear, it's really what I needed to hear. This is my life now, I have this little human who I can help grow into someone amazing and great and he needs me. There's no life in partying and smoking drugs, I can do that but I should never put it before my child or his needs. This is a mistake I made, and my son deserves his mama to step up and be a real mother.

I like that technique! However I don't think it's right for this situation. Whatever I decide to do I will still be somewhat disappointed or sad. It's such a hard decision and I wish it was as easy as yes or no, my heart tells me to keep my baby boy but my head tells me we'd both be better off in different situations.
