Found out my partner is pregnant. My parents are strongly against abortion and putting pressure on me.
Post Body

So, some back ground for you firstly...

I'm male & 25, my partner is 28. After a week or so of morning sickness, the pee test was conclusive. We were not expecting at all, as my partner has Polycystic Ovaries and she was always told she would never get pregnant.

I am definitely not ready for this and I'm adamant of my decision for an abortion. I want kids, but want to wait at least 2 years both for our maturity to increase and our financial positions to improve (we could support a child now though)

My partner went from not caring about having a child to now wanting one after finding out.

We were supposed to make a decision between us & us only as to what we would do. That is until my parents found out.

Now my mum is putting huge amounts pressure on us to go ahead with the pregnancy. I'm the eldest of 5 kids (including a set of twins) and my parents are, to my surprise (no sarcasm), against abortion.

I'm experiencing a lot of pressure to change my mind, but I'm sure of my choice to wait and decide together when we will start trying for a child. I'm concerned if I give in when I'm not feeling ready, I will potential resent my partner.

Opinions and wisdom are greatly needed (please do not comment if you have strongly biased beliefs ie: abortion is wrong)
