As a father to 3 girls and a grandfather, I can only say this. Communicate with your boyfriend, he has the right to know.

I do agree with you, he should continue his studies for all three of you. I don't know if you have parents you can talk with as well, hopefully you can have family support from them as well.

My daughter was lucky that we have a large extended family and everyone chips in. You are actually older than my daughter, who has a beautiful baby boy (4 now). It is a huge commitment, but in my opinion worth it.

You do have the other option of adoption, they have both closed and open adoptions. However, you will need to communicate with your boyfriend and family members to ensure you make the right choices. Remember, this is something you will live with the rest of your live.

The best of luck to you and your family..

He was a part of the whole process and still should be. Two accountable adults that did not effectively use birth control & condoms results in...pregnancy.

This is now a WE decision so tell the guy. And make some more WE decisions.

Keep us posted. We want the best to work out.

And who says he can't finish studies and have a successful career while you are pregnant and raising a child? Young married couples all around the world live in such situations and come out fine.
