Quoting Cheers!:“ loads. my shrink is a prenatal, natal, and postnatal specialist when it comes to PPD, general depression, and other mental/hormonal issues. betcha didn't know that...”
Again, what does any of that have to do with the actual uterus? Does your shrink have an ultrasound machine beside the couch? Can your shrink have you talk about your uterus and then be able to tell you if it's structurally sound enough to support a pregnancy?

PLEASE don't talk to planned parenthood!!! they are in the business of killing babies. they are going to tell you what you need to hear to make the abortion sale. TALK TO YOUR OWN ob/gyn!!! he/she will give you advise on what's best for you, not their pocket! I too have 4 kids. I got prego with my third only 5 months after my second, my third was 4 months old when i found out i was prego with my 4th. i have been pregnant for 3 years strait! it's rough on your body, i'm not going to lie, but it IS POSSIBLE. i've suffered from really bad post partum depression that has gotten worse with each pregnancy, but there are ways to deal with it. if you can't deal with a 5th child (i know i couldn't!) consider adoption. there are thousands of loving families desperate for a healthy newborn. please consider ALL your options before you abort your baby!!

After taking time to think about EVERY option I have I have made one final decision. I have decided to KEEP MY BABY.... as long as my OB gives the ok. He says he wants to see me in his office next week to see how things are looking. He will then let me know what he thinks. Best case, I might have to be put on bed rest starting at 8 months to finish the pregnancy. Worse case, I may miscaarry and samage myself while doing so. My last miscarriage was so terrible I bled for 3 months from it!
Anyways, this is the decision I can live with. This is the decision I made by staying true to the person I am. It WILL be hard, Im not denying that. But, it will be worth it even more. I;m a strong Mommy of 4 now. And I'll do what it takes to be an even stronger Mommy of 5!!

I'm so glad you decided to keep your baby. Abortions are awful and its something you would have thought about every single day for the rest of your life. Exspecially since you already know what its like to love your children. There is no other love that even compares to the love you have for your children. Alive, dead, or in the womb. You love them from day 1.

Only they will be able to tell you if your body can handle it or not. I wish you luck.

Im seeing my OB next week and our family doctor. Im hoping I can come to a conclusion and feel satisfied with it.”Personally for me, if I were in your shoes, I would not have another baby. I thought about abortion over and over with this baby. My PPD was so awful after my second. It almost cost me my life and my daughters'. I didn't want to risk it again but we chose not to. Somedays I wonder if we made the right choice. I think about what happens if my depression comes back and I have three small children under 3.5 years old to take care of on a dailiy basis aside frmo myself. I think you are the only one who knows what is best for YOU. your body, mind, etc. What you can and cannot handle emotionally and financially. What toll with another baby add to your family, your other children, your marriage. Is your house and vehicle big enough for a family of 7? I wish you the best mama and I know this is not easy for you, how could it be? But you will know what is right. Go with your gut. No regrets.

My mom got pregnant again when i was 6 months old. She got an abortion. She was only 18.. Her pregnancy with me took a lot out of her and her and my dad honestly believed that if she kept that baby that she would not make it, and they didn't want to leave their live child (me) without a mother. She has never regretted it and stands by her decision to this day. Her main concern was for a child that was already there and well.
I wish you the best on whatever you choose, and only you can make that decision.

have you talked to your doc in avdvance about meds? i've had really bad PPD that has gotten worse with each baby. i've already started talking to my doc about what i can start taking as soon as my daughter is born to try to prevent going through how i felt after my third son's birth until my 6 week postpartum when i was able to adress what i was feeling and get help for it.

When I had my miscarriage I almost died of blood loss, I was just barely conscious once we reached the hospital. But I'm happy about your decision and hope that things work out. Good luck and enjoy pregnancy again lol I've learned that it may not all be fun but should be all worth it in the end.
