Need advice - keep or terminate? :(
I'm 28 yrs old and my husband is 27. We've been dating for the past 10 years and we recently got married (6months ago). I just found out this morning that I'm pregnant and we weren't really planning for this. We haven't even gone on a honeymoon yet and are saving up to go in Sept. We spent the last several hours just discussing if we should keep or terminate the pregnancy (my guess is I'm 4 wks pregnant right now). We love each other a lot and have a great relationship and he's a very supportive and wonderful partner. Touchwood and thank god for that. I don't think I've a stable job right now (there are a lot of layoffs and I lost my job and found another one within the same org in 2 days by sheer luck I think). So we're in the process of building an emergency fund and a baby is something we haven't yet financially planned for. Practically I do understand his hesitation given that we're not financially prepared right now and we had a lot of dreams of traveling around the world, etc. Also, not many people in our friends circle are even married let alone pregnant, so my husband feels that we may become socially "left-out" if we do go through this. Don't get me wrong, we would absolutely love to have babies of our own and we just don't know if this is the right time for us to do that. We are meeting a gynec next week to understand what an abortion or keeping the baby might mean for my body, but we're so confused right now. Would love some advice. :( How do we know if we're ready? Please help.
