Thinking about my options

I just recently found out I'm pregnant. Again.

My son is 16 months, and I got pregnant with him when I was 16.
I decided I was going to keep him, and everything has been going as smooth as possible.

4 days ago I found out I'm pregnant again.
I'm 18 now, almost 19.

My son's dad is not around, and this one won't be either.
I cannot handle having two kids by myself at such a young age.

I have always considered abortion as murder, but I know I will not be able to go through another pregnancy and be emotionally able to give him/her up for adoption.

I know now that the best thing I can do for my family is to pick abortion.
It's killing me, but I really am starting to believe it's what I must do.
I'm just not ready yet to have bring another child into this world.

best of luck in your decision

Do what you feel is right ans what is right for your child too. Had I been in a situation like that, I would choose abortion too. It does not make you a murderer by any means. Good luck.

Sometimes the decisions that are best for you or your family are the hardest to make.

I think either way it will be hard, but you must do what you feel is best.

Good luck.

That is a tough position to be in. I wish you all the best with whatever decision you make.

You need to make the best choice for you. You have three options. Abortion, Adoption or keep the baby.

I had an abortion and it was an extremely hard choice but in the long run it was best for me and my situation at the time. I do not see abortion as murder as long as it isn't your birth control where you just have sex and get pregnant, abort and repeat.

Just think through your options and figure out what is best for you and your family.

My best friend went through something similar but she was a bit older. She was very prolife but knew that she had to do what was best for herself and her daughter, who is high needs. It was hard for her but I went with her when she had it done and to this day she knows she made the right choice. You have to think about what is best for your situation. Good luck Hun with whatever you choose and just know that if you do decide to terminate, it doesn't mean you're a bad person or a bad parent, it means you made a hard choice to put your current child first.

It's okay to feel conflicted. Sometimes the best choices are the most painful. It's a good thing to focus on being the best you can be for yourself and your son and if terminating means you'll be able to focus on him and making a good life for the both of you, it's right.

you answered your own question in your last paragraph. you know its for the best. it is hard i wont lie! i have had 2. no-one takes it lightly i dont think. good luck x x x x
