so say youve been seeing someone for 2months but you have known them for 3 years and you find out that you are pregnant! is it crazy to keep the baby so soon in the realtionship or should you take care of it?

I think the baby should be kept.I feel its not the babies fault and it didnt do anything.I think even if the other person will not want the baby thenI am sure their are poeple out their that can support you and help you out with keeping the baby.If it gets to the point and you do not want to keep it there is always people out their that want babies and cant have them and would be happy to adopt.Although some people finds it hard to give the baby up once they see it.I hope you dont think I am being harsh.I was just voicing an opinion.

i got pregnant after knowing my bf for about 7 months.. we had been going out for 6. i wanted to keep it.. so did he, he would have been pissed if i didnt want to keep it. he has stuck by me threw everything. and he loves his daughter, he would fight over her. he wants to get married.. he hasnt proposed to me or anything. i told him yes i would marry him, but not any time soon. im not going to get married before im ready just because i have a kid. so in respose, i think it all depends on what SHE wants to do. if he would leave her or stay with her. if he left her would she beable to take care of a baby on her own. ect. try to bring up different veiws for her to think about, so that when the time comes to decide that she knows that she has made the right choice

That depends on a lot of things. 2 months to some people is just getting started, but for other people 2 months is enough time to be committed. It also depends on age and financial situations. I think regardless, people should learn to use birth control until BOTH PEOPLE are ready to be parents and have a baby - regardless of if they are married or not. The decision now is not about the relationship (because many men will bail, and others will stick around) the decision NOW is about bringing a baby into the world and preparing your life for that. There is nothing wrong with giving a child up for adoption. There are plenty of happy homes with infertile couples that are looking for a baby to complete their families. That's an individual decision that each couple needs to make based on their committment to each other, their ability to care for a baby, and any other emotional, religious, lifestyle concerns they have.
