Bonding with baby

I have a very close friend who is currently pregnant with her 3rd child. We are only a couple weeks apart in our pregnancies.  Her husband and her had seperated for apart period of time apart and got back together.  She became pregnant shortly thereafter and contemplated abortion,  even though it went against everything she believed in. She has since decided to keep the baby, but still worries about having to raise 3 children on her own if things don't work out. My question is, have any of you contemplated abortion or know someone who has, yet decided to keep it? And if so, have you or someone you know been able to have a successful bond with the baby?

Yes she surely will because with or without him its still hers.. I can't wait to have my baby and I can't stand him at the moment..but has absolutely nothing to do wit our sons or my unborn daughter... She's going to love the baby just because its her baby and the baby going to bring so much joy and fill in all the blanks when he/she arrives..  She made a great decision

Thank you.  I tried to tell her it will be ok. She is worried about whether or not she'll love this baby.

I have two sons and this is my third baby and its a girl... I wanted an abortion because of the same fear but my spouse thought we can handle it and its no need to do so but now I'm 25 weeks and me and him are on a break because things have been hectic and we always arguing but I feel depressed sometimes but I can handle it... Financially things are ok but that still doesn't make things easy its going to be hard but I'm slowly preparing myself for doing it alone in case we don't get back together...

I contemplated abortion because I was told to get rid of the baby by his father. His father and I were not together, it just sort of happened,  so I knew I would have a lot of explaining to do to my family and I surely didn't want to have that conversation. I moved back to my hometown amd found someone who wanted me and my unborn baby and I am the happiest I have ever been. I would have never forgiven myself if I had gotten rid of the beautiful life inside of me.
