Abortion...i cant believe i nearly did it. ?

Question

I just want to hear other stories similar to mine. i found out i was pregnant at 23 years old.. My boyfriend was sort of a POS but we were living together and it was nice to have someone to split the bills with. I made an appointment to have an abortion, and when i went in they told me i was a little over 16 weeks along. abortion was still legally an option but i just couldnt go thru with it. i broke up with him, moved back home, had the baby, picked up the pieces and now i am a 25 year old independent, happy successful career woman and mother to a beautiful 11 month baby girl. I wouldnt have it any other way. i didnt think motherhood would suit me but ive never been so happy. i cant believe i almost "deleted" this child from my life. can anyone relate??

Answer 1

I can't relate, but I just want to say that I am so proud of you! It's refreshing to see someone who would sacrifice a little bit, to gain back so much! I just want to say thank you!! I am such a firm believer in taking responsibility for your actions, and you did just that! And now look where you are. Couldn't imagine life without her right!? Way to go! God Bless!

Answer 2

They are giving them thumbs down becuase those are the ones who spend their time on Yahoo Answers trying to convice people that you cant have a baby and have a happy life...

Luckily someone like you came along and posted your story...THANK GOD! i was so tired of people crying about how they were pregnant and "needed" to get an abortion becuase a baby would mess up their life.

I have no story to post...all i have is a simple, Thank You.

people like you make this world a better place.

Answer 3

I can't relate, however I wish I could. Over the past five years I have had two abortions and regret them every waking moment. I did it all for a jerk who doesn't care about me or my well being. I am currently 9 weeks preggo by the same person and he is threatening not to be around while I'm pregnant or even when the baby is around. I am so happy for you and your outcome....I'm hoping my issue will also be such a blessing!

Answer 6

Congratulations! Your story brought a tear to my eye. I'm glad to see that you couldn't go through with it, especially at 16 weeks when the baby has a heartbeat and you could feel possible movement. And I'm glad that you are happy with your choice.

I'm not sure I can relate, since I'm 100% against abortion. But there was one point in this pregnancy were I did catch myself thinking about abortion. I mean I'm 19, a college student, single, the father isn't claiming it, and he is also engaged with someone else. He was with me 18 weeks out of 26 weeks of the pregnancy. They hooked up the night he broke up with me and got engaged three weeks later.

Its rough to think about being a single mother, but I know once I have her, I'll be so happy. The one thing that will get to me, will probably be the fact that he isn't around to feel her inside me, or be just as happy as he was when he found out I was pregnant.

But yeah. okay. I'm done. lol

Your story made me think that I can do this, I'm going to finish school and be a happy single mother. Thanks =)

once again, congratulations :)

shut up and stop bragging about yourself over and over and over

Answer 8

You did the right thing.  God was there with you and helped you through all this. I'm very proud of you, may God bless you in many ways, and I believe that he will.  If the father of the child is not in the picture, one day he will regret it.  You did really good girl.  Don't worry about that you almost ''did'' it, look at what you have now, and how happy you are and your baby as well.  A child is a gift from God!
