How to tell my dad im keeping the baby?

You are doing a wonderful thing in more ways than one. You are showing that you love this baby by preparing to keep it and support it. You are also showing that you are responsible by making sure that you have your plan in place already, before you have the baby. WIC is a great option for helping with the milk for the baby. Diapers can be quite costly but if you are lucky (and your baby doesn't have too sensitive skin) you can use cheaper ones (one of my baby's had sensitive skin so I had to buy more expensive, the other baby, not so much). Make sure that you stay in school, even if you have to cut back some cles to take care of your baby. A college education will be worth everything to you in supporting your child when you move out on your own. I don't know your father so it's hard to say what he will ask. He will probably ask you why you chose to keep the baby? How do you plan to finish school? What about your social life (going out with friends, dating, etc.)? Just remember that some of your friends are not going to support you (I had friends that didn't and I was 28 when I got pregnant the first time) but those are the friends that you don't need. A baby is a lot of work but it is also a lot of fun. They give so much unconditional love when they become toddlers. Daycare can be expensive too but you might could get help from the state until you finish school. To the people on here that are giving you a hard time, don't let them bother you. I am a "taxpayer" too and I would much rather give money to help a single mother trying to support her child while she finishes college. No shame in asking for all the help you can get for those years. Good luck and congratulations. I know it wasn't planned but you will love your child the first moment you lay your eyes on it. :)
