Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
If i move i would be moving to my mothers,she wants me away from the father and i truly think that is the best way. I have been to counselling since finding out that i am pregnant and it is helping me cope with the situation of having the abortion....I know its not going to be easy but it will help me cope,and i will be able to go back on my meds which also help.I can start fresh and cope with my decision without seeing the father in my face everyday. Selfish yes,but so is the way i have been treating this child already.

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
I can see where you're coming from Eileen. I'm not going to lie, I'm sad that you're going through with the abortion, but like I said, only you can decide what is the best move for you. I'm glad that you have been going to counseling, that is a big step and will help you get through this. Your Mom is right, I don't think you should be near him either, plus she has been tremendous support to you and will help you get on your feet. I really wish you the best....

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
Kelley, i am sad too...and have been this whole time. I haven't been fair to my growing child and i have been very selfish throughtout the whole thing. I am scared that i have hurt the baby because i have had lots of cramping and my pregnancy signs are deteriorating little browny looking discharge coming but only tiny. I havent been to my Dr and the cramps have been going on for about a week now.
Im so tired and i want it all to be over and as selfish as that may sound, im sorry but thats my honesty. You have been a great friend Kelley and i appreciate everything you have said,you are a very wise and loving person and we need more like you in our society. I hope we keep in touch here is my email since i cant i.m you...Thank you for everything!!!!! xxxxx

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
I'm sure you have been sad...I can't imagine being in your shoes. You can't blame yourself for this whole situation either. It sounds like you might be miscarrying, hard to say...the stress could have been too much. We'll keep in touch, your appointment is next week? Let me know how you're doing...I'll be thinking about you and your little one. (((HUGS)))....

I feel like im not growing and am not sure what the stuff is coming out of me. The cramps have been continual and alot of the symptoms dont feel like they happening but there hasnt been any blood...just thick brown stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if i am miscarrying after my foolishness! but i will surely keep in touch...xx

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
I just wanted to say shame on those women on here who were
chastizing this woman and preaching their own values to her when she is
obviously in a hard time and in need of support. This board
CLEARLy states that it is for support only and those of you spouting
pro-choice propoganda while this poor woman is suffering should be
ashamed. Do you honestly think she has not thought about the
reprecussions for her own life? If you are not able to offer
support-then keep your opinion to yourself. This is a support
board, not an opinion board!

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
hi my name is sharlayna and im 20 years old live in new zealand and am pregnant with my first to a guy that i have knowin since i was 15 years.. i love him he was my first love, when i told him that i was pregnant all he wanted me to do was to get an abort even thogh he said it was up to me what i did he also made it clear that it was a bad time and he wasnt ready to to be a father. i dont think there is ever a good time to be pregnant it happens for a reason. i didnt listen to what everyone else was saying and telling me to do, i did what i thought was best for me i kept my baby and am now 18 weeks pregs and loving every moment and making the most of it. everyone is coming around to the idea and are getting excited about the baby!! You have to do what you feel in your heart is rite for you and noone else no matter how much you love them, he should be more understanding to you and your feelings if he cares about you. just make sure that you dont regret what you do i wish you all the best whatever you choose. goodluck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
I'm glad you realize that you are selfish....as well as immature. Good thing you also acknowledge you've got issues with depression....and probably some other mental issues to boot. (Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?). I sure hope that you give some SERIOUS thought before you EVER decide to reproduce.....again. BTW...the $50 a month charge for birth control sounds like a good investment of money for you.....I'm sure your unfertilized eggs will also thank you.
Kelley, to you I would like to say "Thank you" for all the time, energy, worry, prayers & effort you put forth in trying to save this baby's life without once being judgmental. You are truly a rose among the thorns. I can usually keep my opinions to a dull roar, however, I was unable to hold my tongue on this post. I do hope that in the future I will be able to follow your wonderful example.

Re: Emotionally and Physically drained.
In my opinion, people need accurate information and unconditional support in order to make good decisions for themselves and their lives. What we would, or would not do, in their situation is irrelevant. I think there's a more constructive way to offer our advice to someone who is reaching out...
For all the people posting on this thread that state they believe in God, let's not presume we know what God would say or how He would judge any of us. Let's just pray for others, for God to give them guidance and peace...He will judge us ALL someday.
