Be brave @jerlicious. I'm married but it has been a really tough journey for my partner and I to conceive. After years of fertility treatments, I'm finally pregnant with a girl. Babies are gifts from heaven. Whatever situations you are in, it is only right that they are given the best life opportunities a mother can give. With support, a child in a single family can grow up to be beautiful people too. A marriage doesn't guarantee anything. Don't let mean people get you. These bullies need to get out more.
Maybe if this happens to her own daughter she will murder her instead. =\Then is it our fault that men dont wanna be responsible? Not all pregnancy came from one night stand. Mine was a long relationship and who knew he decided to sleep around. So you mean to say i should close my eyes and continue to stay by his side and let my child grow up in an environment with his father sleeping around? What if my child follows after his footstep?
Then more poor innocent babies will suffer.
So abortion is the only option ? Trusting this to come out from a woman's mouth. Seriously..
If you are a mom, you dont fit to be a mother and i doubt ur upbringing for ur child.
So one day if ur daughter were to tell u that she is pregnant. Are u going to disown her?
What has happened. And instead of dwelling on the past. Why not learn and move on
Thanks ya. My life all along wasn't Tt smooth, i have been tru a fair share of the ups and the downs. sometimes u Canot don't believe is Fate and destiny but to an extend we oso can change own fate and destiny ya. I can chose the 'easy' way out which is abort and leave my Bf for good. Then I can start my own 'new life'. Away from the devils. But can anyone tell me wat is the right and wat is the wrong, no matter how one person do there's Alws some morons and idiots who will pin point at ur doings.
Frankly speaking, I reli does love my bf a lot (ok love is blind) aft wat he has done to me is suppose to be wrong some will say. How can he claim how much he has love me and yet stil ask me to abort. Bt he has his mind of his own or prolly some reasons behide it. People can say I am stupid or silly but wat I hate most are those people who say I do not care about how I care and spare tots for my family Or my love ones. If I don't care and only cares for myself I can go ahead abort isn't it. Then I wil not have to ans to anyone. Srly how well do the so call people who noes me or the people around me. When they made such comments did they use their bird brain and spare a tot for others feelings? So wat makes it diff from me if were to say right.
I have mention before that if were my bf who ask me to abort I will nv agree to but if were my parents whom ask me to abort I will! Bcos I am born from them and I wil respect watever decision they asked me too. And my family are supportive and asked me to go ahead and keep my baby! This is a matter of a life and death ok. If those people who do not agree with me and my family decisions then just keep it to urself. Pls go and care for the people who u love instead.
My bf has even accepted the fact that I am just trying my best to keep his baby badly for the sake us. We are still together as per normal (we keep in contact everyday and meet almost every other day) just that we did not get married officially YET. He even wanted to bring me to baby fair to get baby stuffs already but to me I think it's still to early. I think my bf is slowly accepting his baby and I am glad I nv chose to abort it all along. Choices are made by me. I noe in society there's still a handful of people who Canot accept unweds. I'm fine for others to pinpoint me but pls dun drag my family or love ones or my bb into the pics. I will bear all the responsibilities all by myself.

I totally agree with you.
My partner wanted me to abort
Then he slowly accepted the child and ended up sleeping around.
Maybe because my figure changed throughout the pregnancy. But it doesnt matter anymore.
And i agree. Its my decision. I can choose to abort and nobody would know. Not even my parents. But i choose to keep it as its a life.
You made the right choice![]()
Gal u made the right choice too. Bt I must say if I were ur age I really will not hv this courage to make this decision like u. I truly admire u to be so brave and independent ya. U will have ur happiness one day. Don't need care for those people like them. Just ignore and blocked their comments. These people will not bring us down. All along I believe in karma. We don't ned to see and witness their down comings. Eventually they will received wat they 'deserved'. They say they pity person like us, Bt I guess it is them who are the most pathetic.
I know it is not politically correct not to be supportive. But it is a fact that in our society it is not an accepted practice. This is different from single mothers due to divorce or death of spouse. Who among us can say we are 100% fine telling our daughters when they reach teenhood "never mind. You can be pregnant and mummy is 100% fine with it."? I still firmly believe one should not engage in premarital sex.
For Jer's situation, I am sympathetic. But I think for her to start life afresh, she should put the baby up for adoption.
What about the shame that you will bring to your parents by keeping the baby? Not meant to be cruel but to have a daughter who give birth out of wedlock is shameful and reflects badly on the entire family.

I kept on re-reading this thread esp that one comment. I am still sad abt it. And angry as well. Sigh!
I hope there are more loving ppl out there, rather than just passing that kinda comments.
I have always believe in agreeing to disagree. But there are always tactful ways to do it without being rude.
I am just being emo lah.
Hope everyone will have a lovely week ahead!
When I read it I am also extremely upset especially when she is a woman herself and a mom as well. Or if she even a mom or woman I wonder. Anyways, I blocked her comments cos I do not want to affect my mood for the sake of my baby. Being pregnant already makes me so uncomfortable especially when my health isn't in the best conditions. But thanks for so many other ladies who are ever so supportive and kind towards our situation. U and ur family will be bless. =) <3
I clicked on her name and click on the ignore. Then watever nonsenses she post I oso can't see. Don't ned to waste my time on such cold blooded. If I do not want to abort then I will not put up for adopt either. It's not gona be easy but I (we) can do it. =)Ohh can block another member's comments ? only if you are the creator of the thread right ? aiya these kind of comments, read liao might give you post-natal blues. ya wise decision to block her comments. if you have the capability to raise your kid, why must give up your kid for adoption. I cannot imagine the anguish of giving up my own baby away, the pain of permanent separation.
I think I could be from a different generation from all of you. Anyway, I have asked the moderator to remove my account since my thinking led to so many members' distress.
This has nothing to do with generation gap but more to reflect one's personality.
Even with my own mum, I also told her not to pass unnecessary comments until people asked you for your advice.
What's about the comment about "bringing shame" to the family? Did your upbringing taught you to be prejudice and pass judgement on others? It is people like you who likes to gossip and pass negative vibres in the society.
You do not have to close your account but learn to restraint from posting if you do not have anything good or anything constructive to say about. Don't need to add salt into other people's wound.
I am brought up to believe that being unwed mums bring shame. In fact, my mother constantly told me and my siblings in the event a rape happened, we should rather die than to live on cos our lives are over the moment it happened. During our teens, my mum would monitor our menstrual period and we would be questioned the moment our menses came late.
I thought a forum was meant to share our thoughts. I don't look down on unwed mums but I don't think I can embrace this lifestyle at this stage of my life. Anyway, just delete my account.

Mannouhana, Not sure If you can still read this but I want to say, that I am appall that your mother will teach you and your siblings to kill yourselves should any of you be raped. Many rape victims are able to lead normal and even successful lives after the horrible ordeal.
Many famous people are born out of wedlock : Oprah Winfrey, Eric Clapton and maybe even US President Barack Obama.
Any mothers who teaches her child to commit suicide just cos she or he is raped, obviously not a shred of maternal love within her twisted soul. Maybe your mom has that kind of thinking cos her own mother said that to her.
I wonder with this kind of belief, what advice will the mother give if the male of the family is prone to domestic violence, abuse/assault the wife, sexually abused the young children etc?
天晓得。Only heaven knows.
Really ... Is this year 1905 or 2015 ???
Shaking my head.

It's not about generation. I believe my parents (late 50s) are older than you, but they're totally different from you.
My parents taught me to be responsible, love & cherish those who love me.
I'm not saying you are wrong about this set of thinking. I'm just saying that everyone is brought up differently and I guess that's makes a huge difference in thinking & acceptance about stuffs.
But still, I feel sad for you because your mother care about something so vague & intangible like family name, than your well being.
That's really pretty sad.
Perhaps if she's very conservative with a very traditional mindset, she can place her chaste award that reads "Top virgin" at the bedside *pun intended*.
LOL~ She's not virgin le... She is mother of 3 liao....
Waha who's the mummy of 3?
I meant for those spinsters who can preserve their virginity till old can get such awards as companion for their old age.![]()
Mannouhana is mother of 3 le....
In her thread, she mentions her parents are very traditional and treated her unfairly...
@jerlicious be strong gal! u can do it. btw, when is ur edd? Mine in june and I reckon I will hv many bb stuffs to give away till then like new born clothes etc..let me know if u would like them k?
Thank u. =)ok no problem will contact u again before oct say ard aug..either thru pm or here lah..

Let's hope she doesn't teach her 3 children ( the way her mom taught her ) their lives are over once they are sexually assaulted and that they should go end their lives cos not worth living anymore.
Maybe the lifestyle in Pakistan is different from us.
She from Pakistan meh ? She is local right?
Hihi. Sincere thanks for ur wishes. Hope so ya. But at least he is still ok as of now. Shall see how it goes along the way ya. Stil got a long way to go. Bt watever it is I hope and pray my bb is healthy and well.Hi Jer! Hope things between you and your bf turns out well in the end.. maybe it's really his phobia from his past marriage. I wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong for your bb and hope she/he will be healthy and happy too! Jiayou!![]()

@mannouhana, This is not the time to preach about engaging "premaritial sex" to adolescents in their pre-puberty days but adults who know what they are getting into and taking responsibility for their own actions.
IMO, I salute single mothers who rather choose the difficult route of hardship out of love for their kid rather than married couples who take the easier way to abort for freedom and shun responsibility.
Just to enlighten you beyond your well , there are many financially independent women in their 30's who rather choose to be single mom than to be tied down to someone unsuitable and head down the divorce route years later.
As some of my single friends' biological clock is tickling, they are contemplating to go for donor sperm or adoption.
Even for those who opt for abortion in their teenager's days regretted their action and given a opportunity, they will choose to keep the child.
You quoted :"Who among us can say we are 100% fine telling our daughters when they reach teenhood "never mind. You can be pregnant and mummy is 100% fine with it."?
You have to understand that kids do not lead by examples but they are young individuals who have a mind of their own.
As a parent, you should let them know the pros and cons before making each decision and encourage them to decide and be responsible for it.
I do not have to wait till my gal turn into a teen, in fact I am training her from young to be independent and make her own choices. You make a mistake, you pay for it.
Parents are not there to take charge of their life forever.
Lastly, I don't think u are teaching your kids the right value if you are those who quote and see things based on the surface.
In fact I feel your parenting theory are rather twisted and might face communication issues when the time comes.
This world does not consist only black and white.
If you remain closed minded and like to forcefully impose your views on others, people will rather shut down than to communicate with you.
