Hey
I think everyone else has hit the nail on the head, so I'm not gonna go on too much.

Other than to add, that you do need to tell your parents. They may need to help you out with medical care etc. Also this child is their grandchild, they need to know.

Your boyfriend, he may be 19, and legally, an adult. But there's a lot more to being an adult than just being 19. I know I wouldnt have been ready for a baby at 19, I did a lot of growing up and maturing between 19 and the age I am now, 23. I still dont think I'm ready for a child.

There's also the financial side of things-babies cost a lot on their own, but then there's rent/mortgage, food, clothing, household bills etc etc. Yes there will be help out there for you but you need a plan, a budget, work out your incomings and outgoings etc. Are yous both going to have jobs? How are yous going to financially support yourself and this little person who is coming into your life.

It wont be easy whatever route you choose but I wish you all the very best

Take care
