A female United Kingdom, *axwardle86 writes:

I found out a couple of days ago that i'm pregnant. I'm 20 years old have 2 kids aged 1 and 3 and my teenage sister is living with me. So i already have a lot to deal with and am thinking about an abortion. However when ever i see a new born baby i want to cry. I know i probably wouldn't be able to cope with another baby and know i would be doing the best for my family if i had a termination. But i can't help but get the feeling i'll regret it for the rest of my life if i do have a termination. My husband says he'll support me either way as although it would probably be for the best if i really couldn't go through with it he would stick by me and we'd get through it. I don't know whether i should terminate or not? and if i should then how can stop myself feeling like the worst person in the world?

jaxwardle86 agony auntFirst of all i want to thank everyone for theyre help and advice. We have to decided to go for the abortion as either way is gonna cause a problem for me emotionally and physically but i have to put the kids i already have in front of me. And at least this way it won't affect them. Please don't think i'm bad person i'm not doing this for myself (if that were true i know 100% i'd keep the baby) tc xxxx

I think you should listen to reason. I know its hard, but you have a 1 in 3 chance of a natural miscarriage anyway, so what is the difference. life sounds very busy and I dont think you could cope with another child. dont feel guilty there are 5 other people you are doing this for.

David Lewis agony auntI think you already have your mind made up that you would rather keep the baby.

Deep inside, you are confronting your feelings and heart is telling not to terminate.

Just remember that first time your child looks at you, you already have 2, so will know what I mean.

I feel termination is the last thing you want and may cause psychological periods later in life.

I hope you make the decision which your heart is telling you.

Best wishes, I am here if you want to talk, just as you offered your support to me.

jaxwardle86 agony auntThats all very well and good but if i keep the baby i will have to have another ceaserean section which would then mean i could never have another baby. And i know i could never ever give my baby up for adoption that is not an option for me. it would break my heart to hear that first cry then have it whisked away from me. thank you anyway xxx

No.Do not have an abortion.If you really can not keep the child give him up for adoption.It is a good thing that your husband supports you.It will make things a lot easier.Remember that that child deserves a chance he did not ask to be here.
