Hi there. I will first say that this post has been moved to the woman's choice forum where it is safe to discuss abortion and that is an appropriate choice for some women. There is no judgment here if a woman chooses to abort. There are times a doctor will suggest abortion and when that is the case, you can get a second opinion and I'd recommend it. However, no one here is a doctor to tell you that your doctor is wrong or that you should not take their advice. It would be unwise to follow advice like that over the internet and ignore the medical professional care you are given. Many states allow termination at any point in pregnancy when it is for medical cause. The life of the mother always supersedes that of a fetus. No one expects you to give your life to save another. That is something you may choose. But know that most women would not die for a pregnancy. If the situation IS life and death, then this is something for you to weigh carefully and make a thoughtful decision that feels right to you knowing that either choice is scary and emotional.
I don't know what is going on in your personal life and therefore, that is influencing your thinking here. That can be hard. It's difficult to have a child alone if it isn't what we desire. For that reason, there are also many states that allow abortion up until later points in gestation dependent on the state. You can check your state. Just so you have the information. I will not judge you for arming yourself with information.
However, that is a really hard decision to make and should be made very carefully. If you are depressed, please please please talk to your doctor. they can help you. Medication CAN be given during pregnancy if someone is suffering greatly from depression and anxiety.
I'm here to talk to you any time and again, will not judge you when you say that this might be a bad thing for you to have this baby. That is life. We are not all at the same point in life or have the same circumstances and sometimes it is good to talk. Even if you'd never go through with an abortion, it helps to talk it through.
Stay strong. I hope everything works out for you hon. Here any time you need an ear. peace and hugs
That is so sad. I hope everything works out for u n ur UNborn child. I believe that God only puts so much on us so b strong.
Get a second opinion!! Sometimes dr just want a dramatic case i had a dr once tht almost sounded happy when he thought i might have a tumor bc he had nvr had a case like tht before. I did not go to him ever again! And luckily i did not have a tumor it was a sist there is always a chance the er dr was wrong.
No please don't don't think I will end my little girls life... I fully be live in letting things be in God's hands. So I'm not ending a life.. I will carry her full term. And pray everything goes Wil but of god sees fit to call and Angel to get her wings then I pray it is me and not my sweet girl.
23 weeks I'm sry I thought it was the same as 6 ms. I'm going to see an mom tom.
An ER doc wouldn't tell you that. I know that you are having issues with your relationship and with depression. You need to remember that your baby didn't do anything to you. Your baby is innocent. You need to talk to someone about this stuff. You were talking about drinking Jack Daniels when you were 5 mos pregnant. You only have 3 months to go to ensure that you don't severely damage an innocent life. What would you think if your mother dragged you into her troubles when you were inside of her?
Please, talk to someone about how you are feeling and don't harm yourself or the baby.
Are you 6 months along or 23 weeks? In an earlier post you were 6 months
Did they say why maybe you should see a mfm doctor as far as dad it's your life your talking about it totally up to you
I hope you can discuss your options reasonably! Also, get some more detail on the actual level of risk, and reasons why. Doctors tend to be risk-averse.
Sorry, just re-read it. Why will you die if you go full term?
Contact your state's "Right to Life" (pro-life) movement and ask if they have more information on your specific condition and options.
Why will you or the baby die?
