what will you do when the unexpected thing come out your way? It's hard to be pregnant when you dont have enough money to be able to raise a family. Besides how can you tell your parents about your situation especially if they are the type of conservative parents..ahhh be afraid..haha but just pray and GOD eill be there to support you all the way.. And what if your boyfriend is still studyng and doesn't have work? and your the only one who is earning an income.. is there anyone w/ same as this situation?

When my girlfriend got pregnant both of us weren't ready. Both of us were still attending classes in school. Both of were scared to tell everyone about us and the baby. We even come up to the point where we decided to abort the baby. We spent a thousand peso but nothing happened. We still tried and ask some quack doctors to help us ease our problem but when we found out that it will cost us more thousands of peso we decided not to abort the baby any more.
In finances, I tried to borrow some from my cousins and friends to provide her vitamins and help her with the check ups. My girlfriend come up with the idea of selling goodies such as polvoron, yema and pastillas. She sells it at school and at her mom's office.
In telling our parents, both sides, she did it first on her side 'coz its a lot easier for her to tell them. At first her mom scolded her but at the end she even takes care of her and the baby. On my side we did it later on, its like she's already on her 8mos. pregnancy when we decided to tell it to my parents.
As of now, both of us were trying to pursue and survive our little man's needs. Sometimes our parents gives us some support like for diapers, vitamins, clothes and some soaps. Both of us were still trying to make earning like doing myLot while taking care of the little man.
I decided to stop this coming school year. I want to work but until now I still got no job. Its really hard here in the Philippines to be employed. My girlfriend wants to go back to school but still thinking about it 'coz we still got no fixed source of finance.
