Im 17 weeks pregnant and not sure if i want to go through with the pregnancy. What can i do to change my mind or what could i do to ensure that i dont have the baby.
I was 1 minute wanting to keep him then the next I didn't I finally decided to keep him I raised him for 4 months of his life and i got really bad postpartum depression I got to the point where I didn't want to take care of him anymore so I gave him up for adoption my mom adopted him he just turned two years old yesterday and is the happiest little boy I've ever seen honey if you are depressed I recommend you tell your doctor now so that you can get help and you don't have to go through what I did i'm 3 weeks away from having my Second son my doctor knows what I went through with my first one so she is always asking me how I'm feeling it is the greatest thing to know that my doctor is there to help me because with this pregnancy it has been one of my greatest fears that it could happen again but my doctor knows what's going on so she can immediately get me help this time but if you feel like you can't do it then look into adoption it's one of the greatest things out there I was adopted myself as a baby and I think it's one of the greatest gifts in life

We live in a time in which women have the right to choose what is best for them. Thank goodness! :>)) so, the poster must do what makes the most sense for her. You would need to seek the laws in the state in which you reside to find out if abortion is an option. Or if that isn't what you meant, consult with an adoption agency or attorney (which will talk to a pregnant mom for free that is interested in giving her child up for adoption, this is about the ONLY time you can talk to a doctor for free in life, :>)) to find out about that. Or talk to your doctor about depression to make sure you aren't going through a rough patch that you'll come out of. Raising kids is hard and I think it is admirable when a woman realizes that it isn't the best thing for her and takes action based on that. It's a brave thing to do.
wishing you all the best and here to help in any way I can. hugs

We are all pregnant let's support each other as mothers and as ladies at the end of the day she knows what's best fore her and I agree with Februarymommy its not the baby fault we lay down than again everyone does make mistakes we just have to live and learn from them :) we are all bless cause many ppl out in this world wish they was in our shoes as being pregnant cause not to many ladies can have kids so adoption sounds good but I guarantee Once u hear your bondle of joy cry and u see their face u might change your mind hun but do what's best for you:)
At 17 weeks your baby is very much alive and some women can even feel the baby kick at 17 weeks. Any woman that puts her child before herself is selfless and I have a ton of respect for all pregnant women...Being pregnant is not a walk in the park and it changes you inside and out. I believe every pregnancy is meant to be. Your unborn child was meant to be created and no matter if you raise it yourself or you give him/her up for adoption, that child will be forever greatful to you for bringing it into this world. You are not even remotely alone in this. Every lady on this app is here for you and even though I don't know you, I believe in you. Being pregnant is scary, trust me I know. But you can do it! If you ever need anything, you can always send me a message. I wish you the best!
When i was really far along with my first baby I was at a place where i felt i could not take care of her and things would get worse and i was going to do adoption but thigs got better her father and i did our best and when she was put into my arm and his it was love at first sight now things are great we are expecting another one our daughter is just a happy bouncy spoiled little bby and it was the best choice i made to find the strength to keep moving forward and trusting that god has a plan i hope you keep your baby but please dont kill that child especially how far along you are just keep faith our emotions get crazy while pregnant but find support and you can get through it
You can still have an abortion at this point but it will be very expensive because the baby is getting bigger. If you are dead set on not keeping the baby I think adoption would be the best option in your situation. Don't let others discourage you from making the best decision for you and the baby. You might change your mind the farther you get in or pregnancy or even after the baby is born, but if you don't then don't keep the baby out of guilt or because of what you're afraid others might think. You deserve to be happy and the baby deserves to be with a family that wants it and will love it. Good luck:)
I'm 17 week as well and my emotions are driving me crazy but I would never hurt my baby, even after having a complicated pregnancy. Sometimes my emotions bring me down but the only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that my baby boy will be here in couple months and everything will beoOK. Hang in there your not alone in this, I promise it will be worth a wait. I feel like my due date is so far away but every week is a new kind of excitement for me.
Did you feel this way when you found put you were pregnant or is this new? When I was about 6 or 7 weeks along I got really really bad depression and wanted to commit suicide. My husband and I planned this pregnancy so I was extremely shocked that I was feeling the way I was feeling. Turns out it was just the hormones, a lot of women experience depression during pregnancy, it is normal I promise. I stuck it out and had a lot of support from my husband and eventually the further along I got the better I started to feel. I'm 18weeks and super excited about my pregnancy. Stick it out, it's a little to late for abortion but if you feel the same way as the due date gets closer give it up for adoption! Hope you make it through this, I'll keep you in my prayers!
Baby girl you have to fight it! Everyone has their own struggle and story so I don't judge but I do believe you should wait it out. Your baby depends on you
Don't feel bad, our emotions get the best of us during this time. Don't let the negative comments bring you down, just remember you're growing a beautiful baby and there are other options out there if you're not ready for motherhood. Good luck!:)
Do wats best for yu at the end off the day **** happend all babys are not planned
Thanks it helps a lot. I think its just my depression that is making me think this way.
Your baby is way far along I agree you should have the baby and give it up for adoption but I know that option will be hard once you see your baby's face. May I ask (if not too personal) why you would want to terminate your pregnancy now?
500% agree ^^ adoption is such a good option for you and the families out there looking for babies! Especially since you're so at along

17 weeks is pretty far along, your baby is developing and is a little sweet baby. Maybe you should think about carrying the baby then giving it up for adoption after birth. Lots of couples out there that would love a baby!
