Sometimes the best kind of motherly love you can give is to realize, like you have, that a baby isn't the best thing for your family right now. Your choice is valid and supported. Peace be with you.
Abortion help
I have a son who just turned 1 on the 4th of july. My SO and are still trying to get our lives together and be able to be completely independent. We are currently living in a three bedroom apartment with my mother and we are just barely getting by now. It's hard but we are making it and my son has everything he needs. Today I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I absolutely can not have another baby right now. We can't afford it and its not fair to my son. I never thought in my life I would be considering an abortion. I very much so believe that children are gifts but I cannot have another one right now, I can't see anything good about it, my mother would literally have a heart attack. I also can't consider adoption because there is no way I can carry my own child and give birth then just hand it over. I am so upset. I know we should have been more careful but I am just so beside myself. I know what the right thing to do is. But the right thing is going to ruin alot of people's lives including my son's.

Only you can make this decision. I know with all my heart that my abortion was the best thing I ever did and I don't for a second regret it. However it doesn't seem like that is what is in your heart. Make thsi decision carefully and as soon as you can. My advice is to sit with your husband and put pen to paper. The answer will come to you, even if it's because you decide to have an abortion and it feels so wrong you know it's wrong, then your decision is made. Good luck. Maybe wander over the abortion support room and speak to women that have been through this. Xxx
Hello Carlie, At this very moment you must feel anxious, scared, simply terrified. I've been there. I was 19 and decided to terminate a pregnancy because I "was too young and irresponsible" now that I am 29 and a career woman I regret it and always will. I chose to terminate my first pregnancy because like you "it would ruin everything". But when I see children that are 9-10 years old I wonder how my kid would have turned out. It's awful! It's traumatic. Everyone has a different experience. But my significant other and I regret our termination and we still cry about it. I have a son now and he's 4 and how he wishes he had a sibling. Carlie there are so many programs in the U.S. That can help you carry your child finacially. Food stamps, section 8 for housing (you don't have to live with your mom anymore), and so much more. There are TONS of options. Please I am here if you have any questions. I will keep you and your family in prayer.
You have to do what's best for you, but in all honesty this child is a blessing in disguise. If having this baby is completely out of the question, maybe you could consider placing the baby for adoption, there are so many women who struggle with infertility . God would never put more on you than you can bare. But don't beat yourself up for it if you choose to not have this baby. And maybe take precautionary measures to prevent this from happening again. 💖

Thank you nicole, I had no intentions o debating my faith only trying to encourage 💖
I feel this baby will be a blessing, no matter what huddles you will have to go through. Things have an incredible way of working out in time. I understand you need to do what you feel is right for your situation, but i think you will reget aborting. This child is a blessing. ( i am strongly pro-life, but can't judge you for doing what you think you need to do.) In my opinion,give this baby a chance to live and you will be so blessed by this new baby! Good luck to you in everything! :)
