Pregnancy or Abortion?

I am 8 weeks pregnant, and I really do not want to have  this baby. But I am not 100% sure if I want to have an abortion. I do not want to put up for an adoption.  I already have 2 small children by 2 different dads. I just feel so bad that I made this mistake once again. I will be a single mother for the 3rd time.  Any advice. Should I have this baby or not?

If you don't like the question or it upsets you have the right to not read it! Just like she has the right to do what is best for her in her life!!!. Sorry to the others for ranting but as you can see I am about a womens right to chose. Whether I could never do it or not....i still believe we all deserve the choice! And I feel unless you have lived someones life...you have no right to judge them. That is all. Lol

I agree that it is totally ur choice and one u have to live with for the rest of ur life. It is a decision that I regret to this day and wish I could go back and change.

No this is not a pro life forum...this is a pregnancy forum to discuss ALL issues regarding pregnancy! She has every right to have posted her question and she deserves understanding and respect for WHATEVER decision she makes! Just because we are pregnant and love our babies does not mean that we do not have to have compassion for a fellow humanbeing in a tough situation! I am in a situation similiar to hers...am single...pregnant with my 3rd child by 3 different men. I came the closest I ever thought id come to even considering abortion with this pregnancy...which I considered it for all of 2seconds so yes I chose to continue my pregnancy but that doesnt give me or anyone,the right to judge her for trying to make a decision!

They don't have the RIGHT to judge but we all know they will, so choose what YOU think will be beat, what YOU think YOU can live with. My mom had 6 kids by the age of 22, she had two abortions thrown in there and had she not had those abortions could have Carried them gave birth and still had the following child. My point was that with us 6 kids she was single, she had 3 baby daddies, and then a different.one for one of the abortions, anyway she struggled and almost lost us, she was able to.do it and we are all almost grown and happy :)
Regardless what you choose, its your choice and if anyone judges you then they can just suck.it, you can smile and say "You don't like it, get outta my life"

I think that you should do whatever you want. I understand feeling overwhelmed I'm pregnant with my second by two different dads but my husband has raised my son his whole life and I've never had to do it alone and I don't want to have anymore either I've already signed the paperwork to get my tubes tied. I don't think I could carry a baby 40 weeks and then give it away either so I understand where you are coming from with that. But I myself could never have an abortion. Isn't there some way you could have, love, and care for this baby, and take appropriate precautions in the future? If not you should do what's best for you and your children regardless of what anyone else says or thinks. Good luck!
