  2. When I first found out I was scared and nervous but instantly in love with my unborn child and excited. I was very much in love with my partner and although unplanned, the pregnancy seemed a natural progression. Unfortunately he didn't feel the same way and put pressure on me to have an abortion, which I refused. He left me and ever since then life has been a real struggle. I love my daughter who is nearly 3, but I wish things had been different.”
