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

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.

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.

Almost everyone on this forum will try to convince.you to keep the baby
There is actually an abortion forum on here where.you will probably get more support.and.moreinformation about services in your.area and support for the.actual procedure. I would talk it through with a counsellor. I ddon't know enough.about your.situation to advise you on the best course of action. All the best

There is a reason for everything. Even if it's hard, it will pass and I'm sure you will be so much happier when you get to look at it's little smile.
