Everything is going to be ok, right now all that matters is that you focus on the fact that you are going to produce new life.  Don't miss someone who never appreciated you enough to use self-control, think about it, why does he want you back?  If he is truly sorry it will show in his actions.  Did he ever apologize to you face to face or tell you that he wants you back face to face?  This baby is your responsibilty nowand it is time to start taking care of it.  if your ex wants no part in it, his involvement may not be the best.  Maybe later on if he can get his act together.  When your child grows up, s/he will respect you and look up to you if you do your best to keep him or her safe and fight for its life.  Imagine how much you want your parents protection and love right now? Try and think of the best way to communicate with them because in the end, you will need their help.  It's time show dedication to your baby and to yourself.  Also, I don't know how spiritual or religious you are but my suggestion to you is to find a way to nourish that part of you.  A lot of strength can come from prayer and trust in God if you allow him to guide you.  This experience is going to show you what you are really made of.  Ecclesiates 12:1 tells us to remeber our creator when we are young, it will turn out the best if your lean upon him when you need him most.  

Also, if you are able to muster up the strength to tak to your parents, I have a few suggestions:

if you feel that your parents are a bit harsh or are afraid of their criticism:

-pick a time when you're relaxed and they are not busy. 

-speak from the heart but don't be ruled by your emotions.  Show respect to your parents and they will be more likey to listen and help. 

-Think about how you would open up the conversation with your parents, you could even write it out. 

-If you feel that their repsonse to what you have to say seems critical, you could also say, "I am trying to hard to do what's right, but it's difficult when I feel I am beig criticized all of the time.   Can we talk about it?"

I hope this was helpful to you, this is really huge and you probaly feel alone right now.  Remember your allies: your parents, counselors who can help you and God.  I suggest that you get in touch with your school couselor or a teacher/adult you feel close to and ask for assistance in planning this pregnancy.

I also want to let you know that a lot of my suggestions came from a publication that I have been using for quite some time, it is called "Questions Young People Ask: Answers that work" published by Jehovah's Witnesses.  It has been very useful in my own decision-making and I have a feeling it would help you.  If you would ever like a copy I encourage you to email me at schleiva@gmail.com. 

Stay strong and please don't give up!

u wouldnt hav this problem if the idiot new how to pull out

r u serious! you need to stay out of this relationship if he's...............HITTING YOU>>>>>>>>>> Like really! If I had to question if someone might hurt my child there would be no questions about it.

Like Ariel, I am not going to sugarcoat anything--

About the Father, DITCH HIM!!!!!!!!! He doesn't "love" you if he cheated on you 12 times! There's definitely somebody better for you out there. Also, if you think he's gonna hit you, don't have anything to do with him. Once again, if he really cared about you or "loved" you, he wouldn't hit you to begin with. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! And crying over a jerk like him isn't helping you or your baby. Your baby needs you to be a strong mother, and you cannot do that if you're crying over someone like this guy.

About the family, they're going to know sooner or later, so it might as well be sooner so you have more time for options. If they know now and disown you or kick you out of the house, you have the option of abortion (if you absolutely need it--not that I'm suggesting it) or going to a friend's/relative's or something else. If they decide to help you through this, maybe they can a) give you more advice on this guy and b) support you financially and emotionally through this; it would be another weight off your shoulders. If they find out later, it's going to make life LOADS harder than it can possibly be.

Anyway, good luck and take care of yourself. You and your child should be your top priority; forget about him, please, for you and your child's sake.
