abortion

Please no mean comments as I am scared n confused i am a mother of 5 children ages 5 4 3 2 and 4 months. I'm going back to school in September to finish my last year of school. I will be a paralegal. So my issue is now I just found out I am pregnant again and I'm 9 weeks and I'm due the end of march I don't finish school till April. My children's father has just located to alberta for work so I'm by myself looking after the children. I don't know what to do and at the same time the children I already have are alot of work. And I'm deeply stressed and depressed. This pregnancy has me so tired and emotional. My children's father says he leaves the decision up to me but I'm scared of the abortion procedure and that I may feel guilty afterwards PLEASE HELP

There is No birth control that works 100% you knew that and chose to have sex knowing the risks and this is the consequence (blessing) of that. Now you have to deal with it. I'm not trying to be mean but it's true. Abortion stops a heartbeat. I don't agree with abortion No matter what the case may be.

If you already know you'll feel guilty, then you will feel guilty afterward. Abortion can be emotionally crippling and some women even need extensive therapy afterward. If you are worried you can't support your baby, you can always give the baby up for adoption to a loving couple. There are thousands of couples who want children but can't have them. Is your spouse going to be away even after your pregnancy? If he comes home maybe he can help you if you choose to keep the baby. You could also look into getting a nanny if you're financially stable enough to do so. Ultimately the decision is up to you, it is your body and your right to do with it what you feel is best for you. I would suggest getting on some hormonal birth control, not just condoms, so this doesn't happen again. Good luck in your decision.

You can do it momma be strong no babys life deserves too be taken don't make a decision you'll eventually regret or be sad about & if not than adoption is the absolute best way too go give that baby a nice home too loving parents who don't have the same opportunity too carry a child as you do ♡

I honestly think you should look into adoption.  Abortion will just mess up with your mental health.

All these girls can sit here and tell you to keep it but really no one else knows what your going thru but you I don't believe in abortion neither but if you feel you can not do it again then get on birth control are get your tubes tied whatever is best for you condoms don't all ways work and I dont think people understand how much having so many kids actually puts a toll on your body just do whatever you feel honestly I wish you the very best remember every one has different beliefs and no one can judge you

That's a tough one. You could always give it up for adoption, but then im not sure how your  husband would feel about that and already Having older kid who'll understand what your doing with baby which could bring up questions and possibly resentment from them. But you don't have to tell them about the abortion EVER. If I was in your shoes, id keep it because it's another blessing, BUT financially id be stretching every penny to survive. Hmm, at this point abortion looks like the best opportunity, but mentally that would probably break you. /: Your strong, don't listen to others who "don't believe" or "could never do it" they arnt you, they don't have your life, just remember do what's best for you and your family.
