hey,

First of all i just wanted to say that i think this site is great.

On monday of thuis week i found out that i am 6 weeks pregnant. my partner is 21 and earns a good wage.

i am strongly considering abortion, however i know in my heart that i can raise a child, i feel verry selfish for considering it however i really dont know what to think now.

i am not ready for a child, i have already started getting morning sickness....... i dont know what to do.......... one minuate i think that i can do it and the next minuate i think i cant.....

i spose its more complicated as i suffer from severe clinical depression and am on medication which i have to ween myself off of, which can harm the baby

i cry all the time, i dont know what to do, i just wanna have some advise from people in the same situation

please help

hon plz reconsider. I too thought of abortion and I had a miscarriage and I am so heartbroken and I cry for my little baby. Choose life please this baby will mean a lot ot you and youll never regret it.

Well hon,
First thing is talk to a doctor. I also suffer from depression myself. I am a mother of 3 girls and I am only 23. At times things can get very hard trust me. There is nothing worse then trying to get your first cup of coffee in the morning then 3 kids screaming different types of food at you....LOL... Listen to your heart and then sit and think what will be best for the baby. Just remember God gives you only what he knows you can handle, never anything that will kill you only make you a stronger women... If you need anyone to talk to I am here. I stop by these forums every night before bed....

Abortion is never the answer especially since it can make ur depression worse. if u don't think u can take care of this baby there's always adoption. i kno u don't wanna be responisible for takin an innocent life, especially ur own child's, so be responsible for giving ur baby a good life with a loving family who will be eternally greatful to u for giving them the most precious gift in the world. i kno u'll make tha right choice b/c i can see that ur already concerned for ur baby b/c ur weening urself off ur meds for tha sake of ur child's wellbeing. ur already showing the signs of being a good mother.
~Love Always~

Hey listen....I know exactly what your going through....believe me. I'm also 17 and am almost 5 months pregnant. The first few weeks when I found out all I wanted to do was get an abortion, get it over with, and get it outta my head so I didn't have to deal with the other stuff...but you know what...gettin an abortion is probably the stupidest thing you could do, you will regret it for the rest of your life &amp; you will wish to God that you had never done it....that is why I chose to have this baby and raise it myself. Giving it up for adoption is definately an opition, but you will have to decide that on your own. I promise you that you will not regret having this baby, the baby will be such a blessing!

Hi
I advise you not to get an abortion. I think you can be a mom and hopfully a good mom at that.I know it is hard. If you come to the conclution not to have this child then pleaze do the baby a favor as its mother and at least give it up for adoption. If you do give the baby up email me pleaz. Reliy on God and he will help you.
