regret

I was 4 weeks when my daughter's  father attacked me. I am now 32 weeks regretting that I kept the baby. I am so angry I don't want this baby because  she is a part  of him, however I am a responsible  person and do not what to give her up for adoption . The more I reflect on what he did, I become detached I get and I know it is not good for  the  baby.

You already have two children whom I'm guessing you love more than life its self, this baby is no different and it will love its Mommy the same way your other two do. The baby's father had no love for this baby, this unborn life, this amazing blessing from GOD. GOD has an enormous amount of faith and trust in you. I dont know how you were attacked by that man as in what way, but please believe that God has big plans in store for you and the baby and your other two blessings since the child wasn't hurt in the attack and you are still here to nurture and love all 3 of them. Please share your worries and thoughts on here and always try to see the silver lining in the situations you are presented in life and just know that there is always someone there to listen and some of us have lived the same circumstances and may have amazing insight. The grass isn't greener on the other side but it may grow a different way over there and whoever's side it is may have an enlightening insight.

Adoption isn't "irresponsible",  mikie,  it's the most loving sacrifice a mom can do for a child she isn't prepared to parent.  You aren't leaving your baby on the side of the road - you're relinquishing her to a couple who desperately pray every night for a baby like yours.  

As hard as it is,  relinquishing your baby is an act of great sacrificial love.  

Best wishes.

At 32 weeks you have come too far and you are strong. See that baby as a source of your happiness instead of pain. The baby is innocent and should not bear the burden of his father. Give up the baby for adoption if you know you regret carrying her that far because raising her will not take just 40weeks. All I know is the deserves love.

Just remember she's also part of YOU!if you feel really detached I would consider adoption, but if you do want to keep the baby I'd focus on the fact that she's part you as well.and the whole situation is part of your life and a reminder of what you have been strong enough to overcome

Your baby is part of him but you can show it love and care and it will grow up to be nothing like it's father , a person isn't born to hate or be mean it's raised that way , and if you can't  show the baby love , a family out there is waiting for a baby who can , you don't want the baby to feel unwanted also . I hope you pick what your heart wants you to do. <3

You should consider adoption then if you don't want the baby. Why should a child have to grow up with a mother that regrets keeping her? A baby deserves to feel loved, not resented.

I do want to consider adoption because I already have two little girls. I do want to live with the fact that I gave my child up for adoption. The resentment comes from being attacked which also put my kids in danger. This entire pregnancy  has been very stressful due to their father's  behavior, in and out courts, being pregnant and alone. Maybe the love of this child will come once she arrives
