re: My situation.

Quoting Captain Lauren + ?:" Remenber this is your pregnancy"

This. I've had an abortion and can talk to you if you want.

I also know of an abortion support message board that can help a lot, I wont post the name here but feel free to message me (this goes to anyone who has had an abortion, I just wont post because of the haters).

I think one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was this: If you don't have peace about it, don't do it. It applies to everything in life and it has never failed me. Good luck mama!  

Quoting .Rae.ღ:" Thanks for the thoughts and words! I just need to look at all aspects and right now I'm going to write a list of pros and cons."

there is always pros and cons to every decision we make in life. Our outlook on the situation can change daily so the lists of pros and cons may change with our moods no matter what the decision is about (whether its buying a vehicle, relocating, changing jobs, or contemplating a pregnancy) Dont let anyone elses opinion sway your decision.
You already know the joys and the expenses a child can add to your life. Let only your own personnal knowledge and goals for your future play into your decision.

Quoting teenexpecting:" Congratulations"

Really?

I think that people who regret it are usually the ones who didn't make the decision all on their own....

I'm sorry for the situation. You have to make the decision & live with it. Good luck!

Have you talked to your parents at all? what was your plan for when your lease was up? if you would be moving back home then i would speak to them openly and honestly, Please dont do anything based on what someone else wants you have as much right to keep your baby as he does to ask you not too, You really sound like you want to keep this baby and i would hate for anyone to be pushed into it. x

my situation when I had my abortions was similar it was mostly about finance and stability. its so hard being in that situation :'( I'm here if you need to talk xx

No I haven't...I think that would actually make the situation harder if I had their thoughts/opinions in the mix.

But I have decided that I couldn't go threw with that decision now and I probably never would. I was way less prepared when I had my first and I've done better than anyone thought I would so I can't give up on my little baby.

wishing you the best and i will be praying for you and your children!

Than you know you are making the right choice, and it IS a choice. nobody should be forced or co-erced into a decision either way, Its not a situation i have been in but i cannot imagine its easy for anyone.

  I feel comfortable enough now to say congratulations Momma! If you ever need to talk I am here for you. I faced the same decision with the one I am having now. Any help and support I can give you I am here for you.

Thank you!!

it's fully up to you mamas, i got so excited to see you expecting right along with just like we did before   but i believe god doesnt give you anything you cant handle, i feel you will regret it in the end if not now later in life; my opinion but i respect what you choose ..

this pregnancy was unexpected as well, but i decided im going to make the best of it ..
