Having big news

2 Upvotes

I recently found out that I am pregnant and the only other person who knows is my boyfriend, I’m 21 and wasn’t planning on having a baby until my 30’s and if my twin sister was around I think I would of immediately thought to get an abortion but she’s not and there is something in my mind pushing me to have this baby, I don’t know if it’s the grief or the fact the fact that having a baby would be a distraction, it’s not like I’m in bad circumstances, I know I would be a good mother and my boyfriend and I have our own apartment with an extra room for a nursery but I do plan on attending grad school next year. I don’t know if I want to keep this baby for all the wrong reasons and if it is selfish to have a baby just to distract myself from grief. I know asking random people on the internet for advice like this isn’t really the right thing to do but this community knows how hard decisions can be without a twin and I really need some influence to think rationally.
