Hi Pixey, I've been in a very similar situation to you, and being an only child, felt like a huge dissapointment to my parents. I know it's hard to get past that, but your parent's dissapointment is going to turn into respect and pride in you for being a great mum!! (which u already are for choosing life for your precious bub)

I am a single mum and i understand your concerns totally about your baby not having a father around. For starters your baby may end up having his/her father around regardless of how the father initially reacts (often times it does change).And while ideally your baby should have a dad around. It doesn't proclude that child from having a happy fullfilling life if he or she doesn't. If your parents support you i am sure your own father would be a great person to be a fatherly type figure for him or her. You're very lucky if you have supportive family i am so happy for you in that regard. If you had an ultrasound now at 12 weeks you'd see all the arms, legs, fingers, feet and little profile. One of my children at the 12 week scan was sucking their thumb even (how cute is that? lol). Your baby is allready fully formed in miniature. I reccomend that you have a scan any time from now and see for yourself. You could google 12 week ultrasound pictures also but there is nothing quite like seeing live footage of your very own baby swimming around inside your body. An abortion clinic would scan you before 'the procedure' but they would not let you see it for fear that you would change your mind- because you probably would. (then they wouldn't get your money)
I can vouch for abortions being damaging internally. My current pregnancy is high risk for that very reason. So i am being monitered closely for complications.
