Bit of back story: I'm 21 years old and I have a 7 month old boy, the father (24) left while I was 3 pregnant however we reconciled after the birth and have been back together for four months. We still have a lot of arguments (he's very carefree and independant while I'm a bit of a control freak), but we're both committed to giving our relationship another chance for the sake of our son.
At the moment he isn't working, and I am working part time, supporting the three of us (with a little help from welfare), while he looks for a job.
I have just found out I'm pregnant again. Totally unexpected. And totally lost. Not sure if our relationship is steady enough to have another baby, and I'm not wanting to give up working, but not sure whether I want to consider a termination as I can't really think of enough reasons to justify it.
Any and all advice is welcome! TIA

I don't mean to be blunt but it seems your relationship isn't that strong anyway, so I would not be basing any decision on making that work. Decide based on you being an awesome, independent mum and what you want and feel. If the relationship works great, if not great, you will be okay & you wont be 'stuck' in any position you don't want to be in. Good luck
why don't you keep working and he looks after the kids? I have a friend who is an awesome stay at home dad.
