Looking for advice
So I am 17, and I will be 18 in November, and I've been with my boyfriend since August 2022. I am currently due July 15th with a baby girl. When I first found out I was pregnant, it took me completely by shock and I didn't expect it whatsoever and my immediate thought was I am too young I can't do I don't want this baby. A couple of days later, I had to go to the ER, and I got to hear her heartbeat completely changed my mind, and I wanted to do it all. I told my boyfriend about my decision and he wasn't pleased at all he didn't want the baby he didn't want anything. Fast forward to currently, he still doesn't want the baby but wants to be with me and there for our kid. But says things like "I will not have any emotions or feelings towards this kid, so no matter what."
I kind of just need someone/anyone to rant to and / or give me advice because I truly love him and think we have a great future together.
Show your support
Definitely go see a counselor and maybe seek couples counseling. Having a baby is complicated at any age. Hope this helps.
Either he will make the decision to step up or he won’t and thats the unfortunate part. If you think having this baby is the right decision, then stick with it, but do not hold onto your relationship just because you want the sense of affection or to have a stable relationship for your child. If dad doesn’t want to be involved, let him go. Keeping him around for these reasons will just create a blockage in the relationship and that won’t be healthy to you. Keep your head up, and congratulations mama.

Hey Mama, it will probably be a toll on you emotionally just because you’ll love the support from your partner. He will eventually step up and be the father he needs to or it can create blockage because you’ll always choose your baby. Congratulations to you with your bundle of joy! I hope everything works out
