I have four children and i am expecting my fifth child I got pregnant last year and lost my baby...I was devistaded! I dont want to have this baby, it was not planned and I am having a very rough time. I have 2 boys and two girls the girls are twins. I dont know what to do! I am 9 weeks any advise.
Reminds me of this story this lady told me, she is quite old. I was pregnant with my 3rd at the time. Some how she got to talking about her 5th child she said the child was unexpected and she was in her 40's. She said she cried and cried and both her and her husband did not know what to do, they had no money.
Anyway, they decided to keep it. She explained that now she is so happy that she did, because her last is so special, he gives out the most love, calls her all the time, is calm and sweet.
Another lady I met at the clinic, she told me she was 43, her youngest was 11 and she got unexpectedly pregnant, she also cried and cried both her and husband were shocked about the whole thing. She had the baby with her she was coming back for her check up. She said now she couldn't be more happier.
Everything we preceive is a state of mind, it will be all right if you wish it to be. If you really can't deal with it then yes adoption is always an option, so many people desire to have babies and can not.
Denise, would it be possible to give up for adoption? You could even do an open-ended adoption if you felt that would fit your needs better. There are so many parents that can't have children and would be so very blessed with this human life. This is a topic that hits close to home. I hope and pray that you are able to come to a decision that is right for you and your whole family. My best wishes and prayers are with you! Best of luck. :-)
You can either keep it or consider adopting the baby out to somebody wonderful who couldn't have any children.
BUT... please do not do abortion. It is violation of God's command. He cherish every baby he knitted into our wombs with his own hands. So if you murder his treasure, he is not happy with that. So let it grow out, respect God's life of mankind. Who knows, you may change your mind once the baby is born. :)
Before you decide, did you know that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer? And mental problem.
Discuss with the expert or the doctor about this issue if they are inform about it. Most likely they might tell you there is no evidence for this because it political incorrect subject.
Please do not consider abortion. You have a special baby growing each day inside you. Please know that there is much help for women in your situation. Look in your phone book for crisis pregnancy centers. They will help you and show you how to carry your baby to term without abortion. They will do what ever you need in your circumstances to help. If adoption is what you choose, they will help you with that also. At least give your baby a chance to live. I've been in your shoes and chose the wrong option. Everyone's comments above are loving comments for you out of sincere concern for you. Please hear them. I'll be praying much for you. Denise
thank you so much for your comments. I have decided to keep my baby even if its not a good time for me and my family.....I guess I just pressured by family members nagging about the whole thing but know I feel much better know that I have told that its my desicion and I am going to handle it my way.... I love my children with all of my heart.:-) thanks to all for being so supportive even though you dont even know me at all I greatly appreciate it
Denise, I'm so happy that you came to this decision that is right for you and now you feel better about it. You sound like a very caring and concerned, loving mother-I applaud you and am so happy for you and your family. I think CONGRATULATIONS are in order!! Health and happiness always.....:-).
I will still be praying for you and the baby as well as your family. I am happy for you. My last baby was born when I was 41 years old. He has brought the most joy in my life. I do love all my kids (4 others) but this last one, just something about him, just hearing that word MaMa in the morning when he wakes up, I love you when he goes to bed makes it all worth it. You will see. I promise. Good luck to you and God Bless, Denise
I FEEL FOR YOU, MY STORY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I HAVE A 19 YR. OLD, I GOT REMARRIED THIS JULY WILL BE 10 YRS, I HAVE A 5YR OLD AND A 2 YR OLD WITH MY WONDERFUL 2ND HUSBAND. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I FIRST GOT ENGAGED I BECAME PREGNANT, MY OLDEST WAS 10 OR 11 AT THE TIME, AND WE DECIDED TO HAVE AN ABORTION. IT WAS A TIME IN OUR LIFE THAT WE WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD MARRIAGE AND BE STABLE BF WE HAD A CHILD. I THINK ABOUT THAT CHILD ALL THE TIME. HE OR SHE WOULD BE 8 IN NOV OF THIS YEAR. I LOOK AT MY 2 CHILDREN NOW WITH MY 2ND HUSBAND AND IT KILLS ME TO THINK OF WHAT I DID, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND I COULD NOT LIVE W/OUT THEM. I KNOW GOD FORGAVE ME FOR MY SIN, BUT FOR SEVERAL YRS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET PREGNANT I WOULD OFTEN WONDER IF GOD WAS PUNISHING ME. I HAVE PUT IT BEHIND ME BUT IT IS A REGRET THAT I WILL REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. WHEN THE BABY COMES, EACH ONE HAS SPECIAL JOY AND MEANING THEY BRING TO YOUR LIFE. YOU NEVER KNOW, HE MIGHT BE THE GIFTED ONE OF ALL. WHATEVER CHOICE YOU MAKE IT IS YOURS AND YOUR HUSBANDS. JUST THINK ABOUT PROS AND CONS OF BOTH, BY BECOMING PREGNANT AGAIN YOU HAVE TO ASK WHY? AND ONLY GOD KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THAT. KERRI
