re: Forced into abortion

don't feel forced into it by him. it's a decision you ultimately have to make yourself. if he decides he doesn't want the child, then that is his decision and you should be prepared to raise the baby on your own. if you decide you don't want to keep the baby, decide it for your own reasons, not just because he didn't want to be around. if you let him sway your decision, you will resent him and that decision for the rest of your life. believe me, i know. if you need to talk, i am here.

This. You WILL resent him if you allow him to force you to do something you don't want to do. I understand where you're coming from. Baby number four was a surprise for us too, although my youngest was 3 at the time. She is now ten months old and I couldn't imagine life without her. She definitely holds my heart!! So many things in our life have changed for the better since we found out we were expecting, and so if your husband is concerned about financially caring for a family of six, please remember that a lot of things can change in just a very short period of time. Don't make a permanent, irreversible decision based on temporary circumstances.
Good luck, I hope it all works out!! :-)

DON'T DO IT!!!! It's your body ~ not his. You should not do it if you don't want to . If you go through it you will always be resentful towards your husband for it, and you'll be very depressed after wards. Be positive maybe he'll have a change of heart if you go through with this pregnancy. If he loves you, he will support your decision. I wish you the best, good luck and be strong !!!!

Thank you everyone for all your advice and kind words. Last night was an emotional night and we have decided together to keep the baby. It will be hard financially and space but we think we can make it work x
