Dear Excited,
Regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl, I am going to use the word you to address the pregnant couple because I believe that a woman cannot have a child on her own, she needs a man for that at least as the sperm donor. First of all make sure you are pregnant. Once you are sure of that fact then kicks in the decision making time. I am sure you have had thoughts about the things I am going to mention. You know, when there is a possibility of pregnancy there are so many things that come into play. For instance your age, are you at a place in your life where you can support a child. Is your family going to be supportive of your decision to have a baby (emotionally, socially and financially)? Are you ready to have a baby? Have you thought about how you feel about terminating a pregnancy? I just want you to know that the decision is ultimately yours and no one has the right to judge your decision. They don’t live your life-you do. Have you and your partner thought about this? Is it a joint decision? If you have not had a chance to talk about it as a couple then I think you should. You know you can always have a baby and give it up for adoption.
If you are sure you are pregnant, do you know how long you have been pregnant? You might not be in a place in your life where you can support a child or maybe you don’t even want a child. Try your best not to panic and make decisions that may not be the best for you emotionally and physically. I would like to let you know that free services are provided by Mary Stoppes Nepal. Make sure you go to a reliable practitioner because terminating a pregnancy can be dangerous. It will also be advisable to get a gynecological consultation if you want. Abortion is legal in Nepal so make sure you get reliable help to avoid any complications which can affect your ability to have children when you are ready.
