I am 23 years and my boyfriend is 26 years. We have been together for 11 months. We are both born again children of God. He is a prayer leader and I am a secretary, youth leader and prayer leader. We were both even praise and worship leaders in church.
I am now pregnant, and we are thinking of having an abortion though we both don’t fully want to do it. We are very scared and demoralised. My boyfriend is very supportive the problem is we could be getting married right away but we don’t have enough money.
I am now developing feelings of resentment towards him, I want to break up with him and I also think much of committing suicide. A lot of people look towards me as a role model.
They know my believe of sex after marriage. My boyfriend is the first guy I ever slept with. I love him and deep down in my heart I don’t want to sleep with anyone else but him.

Every baby conceived is to be celebrated and allowed the chance to live and though it has happened when you least expected, your faith in God is able to carry you through. Do seek support from your family members and since your boyfriend is supportive, you can look for options of how you can work together in this journey. If you are ready to be married, you can do a civil wedding first as it does not require much financial input. Do seek to speak to a counsellor to help you figure out your feelings. And remember, you are not alone; the support from the ladies’ answers here is a show of great support for you.
