I am married, 37 and have 2 children. Recently, I have become pregnant, accidentally. Our first two labor and deliverys were agonizing. Both were c-sections, one was an emergency. My daughter suffered a damaged eye. My son was in the NICU for 4 days. Now 11 and 9 they are happy, healthy kids. My husband was very traumatized by these events and vowed after our second child that that was IT. No more kids! So this pregnancy has come as a huge surprise. Although I didn't want any more kids, I feel that we could manage a 3rd. My husband on the other hand is adament about not having a 3rd and has asked me to have an abortion. He feels that the pregnancy and all the worries that go with it (possible birth defects, etc) will put him over the edge. If he goes down we all go down as he puts it. I am confused and could use some advice. I don't think I can go through with an abortion. But I don't want to jeopordize my family either.
