A YOUNG woman has revealed that she is pregnant with her brother’s baby and doesn’t know what to do.
The 18-year-old, who had sex with her 21-year-old sibling, admitted that she knows what she did was wrong, but isn’t sure she can follow through with an abortion.
Keen to open up on the situation and desperate to receive advice, the mum-to-be took to social media to share all, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/Advice thread, the anonymous woman, who writes under the username @needadvice3265, simply titled her post ‘I’m pregnant with my brother’s baby’.
She then confessed: “I really don’t know what to do. I’ve literally been crying all day.”
The young woman begged for advice and stressed: “This was not rape, I consented.”
She then gave some context to the situation and explained that her parents divorced before she was a teenager and whilst she primarily stayed with her mum, her brother went to live with their father.
Following this, she continued: “We started messing around once I got into high school. But, we didn’t actually start having sex until this year.
“The only night we could have conceived… Basically we both were in really bad places with some stuff going on.
“I went to his place to not be alone. We drank and then had sex.
“I know about condoms and birth control but we just didn’t use any and I don’t take birth control because I wasn’t sexually active except with my brother who normally uses condoms.
“I know I really f****d up. I’ve been feeling weird and sick and missed my period. I kept waiting but then got close to the second month.

The teenager claimed that when she told her brother about the pregnancy, he was “shocked” and “mad”.
She acknowledged: “He kept yelling that he thought I was on birth control.

And despite the accident, the woman shared: “We come from a religious family so I can’t imagine going through abortion.”
Unsure on what to do next, the young woman begged: “At this point I don’t know…I could use advice.
“Please don’t be mean. I’ve been beating myself up all day. And, scared of what our parents or friends will think.”
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the woman’s chilling confession and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their advice and guidance.
Not only this, but at the same time, users were horrified at the sibling’s incestual actions – and countless users slammed the Reddit poster as ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting’.
[quote credit=”Reddit user “]What you did was a whole level of f****d up and disgusting[/quote]One person said: “Abortion is the way. This baby won’t be healthy. And YES, you can help it. Having sex with your brother is 100% a choice. Please, seek therapy to deal with all of this.”
Another begged: “Do not have this baby. Stop the incest immediately.”
A third simply commented: “Gross.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “What you did was a whole level of f****d up and disgusting. That child is going to have all sorts of medical issues due to inbreeding and being attracted to your brother isn’t normal.
“You need to get therapy, cut yourself off from him and move on with your life.”
As well as this, another user agreed: “Anyone telling you to keep this baby is flat out wrong. You need to have an abortion. Start making calls TODAY.”
Mum-to-be shares honest update
Following the barrage of comments, the anonymous woman later shared a candid update, as she explained: “I’m really starting to lean towards abortion. I could always lie about the father and say I don’t know.
“But, the genetic issues are really a big factor for me. I don’t want this baby to suffer a bad life.
[quote credit=”Reddit poster “]To all the Incest comments, I know it’s wrong. But, I can’t help it[/quote]“Then I have to think of me and my brother’s lives. We are too young for this. And, then if anyone found out … I don’t know what I would do.”
Not only this, but she also highlighted: “And, to all the Incest comments, I know it’s wrong. But, I can’t help it.
“And, I really promise I wasn’t groomed or being forced. I was the one that initiated messing around. We just went through a lot separately and together.
“In a way, sometimes, it doesn’t feel like we are siblings. But, I want to talk with my brother today and see what he wants to say. I want to be fair to him because it’s his baby too.”
