Scared

I've only recently found out that I am five weeks pregnant and as much a I would love to have my baby, I am choosing to have an abortion for emotional reason of both keeping it and giving it up for adoption. As sure of my choice as I am, i'm scared that when I have my appointment to get it done that I am going to change my mind and keep it than end up regreting keeping it. What i'm wondering is if anyone else has felt like they've been in my situation or something close to it and what they did?

I have had a few friends have abortions, and they are comfortable with their choice. The decision is one that you have to live with. (I'm not anti-abortion so don't worry). I think if you look at the pros and cons of both having it, adopting it or aborting it, and think about you in all of those situations. If you could not raise a child at this time in your life, then obviously don't go with having it. But then think, if you carried this child full term, felt kicks and movement etc, would you be able to give he/she up at the end?? If not then abortion is your option. Don't just think it is the only option. Think about you handle tough situations and where you are at in your life. My friends were young, came from single parent families who struggled financially, so for them it was the best decision. I have also got friends who had kids really young, like 16, were kicked out of home for keeping the child and have still managed to succeed, get a degree at uni and live and happy, healthy and stable life. Talk to your family, ask them their opinions. You may not like them, but if they are honest people you can at least get a broad picture. Good luck with your decision. I hope the one you pick is the correct one for you.
