Pregnancy & Birth Discussion

To have an abortion or not!!!!!

I\'m a 28 year old single mother of two (girl 5 and a boy 3) and i\'m currently 12 weeks pregnant. I\'m not so thrilled with this pregancy because me and the childs father is not together, we never were. When I met him I explained to him that I did not want to be in a relationship because of me being in school, he was fine with it and then 4 months later we had sex and I found out a month later that I was pregnant. I told him and he immediately said that he is not ready for a child, reasons being, we aren\'t together, he works alot, and he doesn\'t feel that he\'s finacially ready with all the bills that he has, well neither am I. I already have 2 children, i\'m in school, i work full time and I have no interest in being with him or anyone else for that matter. So I considered abortion but once I googled it and saw all of the cruel things they do to the fetus, i decided against it, well he isn\'t thrilled about my decision and he\'s seemingly trying to pressure me into an abortion. I just don\'t know what to do.

i have 3 children myself and my first one and my most recent one was not planned I know my situation is a little different b/c i am with the father. If you feel you are not financially ready for this child would you ever consider putting the baby up for adoption. Do your other two kids know that you are prego?? That would be another question I would ask myself- would my kids want me to give away their brother or sister. I would have the child and if you think you are not finacially ready I would give it up for adoption you have a tough choice to make but you need to decide what is best for you and your baby!!

Asiaclay28 please do not have an abortion. I am not able to have children and would LOVE to have one. If you can\'t afford the new baby maybe adoption. Make a family estatic!!! Like me!! Best of luck!!

Your baby is a precious gift, and if you cannot keep him/her, please consider adoption. I can\'t pretend to know your struggles, but abortion is not the answer. Your child could be the most amazing gift that you give to a childless or infertile couple. If you don\'t know where to turn, find a local church or an adoption agency and speak to someone about your situation.

My first child I gave to an adopting couple because I was getting out of a short marriage to an abusive husband. I never saw or got any info on the new parents. But I never doubted my decision.

I got married again a year later and had a daughter. When she was twenty, she got pregnant by a guy who left her. She decided to give the child to an adopting couple just as I had years earlier.

This time I was able to meet the new parents. They couldn\'t conceive children of their own. I will never forget the day we handed over the baby and the look on their faces. My daughter was able to pick them out from a number of profiles.

Your guy doesn\'t want any financial obligation, so let him know he can sign away his parental rights and you won\'t come after him for money because you will have the child adopted.

Contact a local agency to get one on one counseling and help with the legal matters. We used LDS Family Services which was free. Here\'s their website: https://www.itsaboutlove.org/ial/ct/eng/site/pregnant/.

Best wishes to you and your baby.

I understand your concern. You probably have already decided what to do now with your little one and I\'m sure you made the right choice for you and your family.

right now i cant afford my baby either. this is my first time being pregnant and trust me i know i have no clue..yet. but abortion? there are so many families that are in need of a child. theres a family out there willing to open their hearts to your child. theyve got open adoption where you still have a part in your childs life, and they will help you finacially and its not that bad.ive called an adoption agency when i first found out i was pregnant just incase i was to give up my baby i would know some about it...theres other options but its always your choice...whichever your choice may be, its going to be okay.

What they do is one, poison the child. Or they mangle the child with a super suctioned blade and suck up his body parts. Then he uses sharp prongs to crush the head that is left free floating in the uterus and then that is sucked out as well.... watch it on youtube called the silent scream. You\'ll see what happens to the child on ultra sound. It made the abortionist quit his job and turned the feminist nurse (the ultrasound camera operator) completely around. She never again spoke of abortion. Watch it I dare you.
