knowing that when your period one week late, your baby is already a boy or girl, they are three weeks old and their heart is already beating.

If you are not able to have another baby you should not have had sex. Plain and simple. Why not take the consequences instead of the easy way out?

That completely depends on your situation. If you aren't going to take care of yourself during your pregnancy then the child very well might live a horrible life being born retarded or deformed. Then you should have one. If you can't keep the child and the thought of having a child wandering around and not being able to see it and be with it then abortion is an option.
If you simply don't want to raise this child then you should give it up for adoption.
I have personally had an abortion. I was 13 and without choices facing poverty and homelessness. It was the best and worst thing I ever did. Don't have an abortion unless its really necessary. It feels like having your soul ripped out of you. Not exactly the painless operation doctors claim it to be.

If you cannot support the child, cannot go through pregnancy and adoption because of health or mental issues, then yes, it is the responsible thing to do.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but there are no lists of parents waiting to adopt- I used to volunteer at a shelter for abused children, and some of them have been waiting for years to be adopted. Abortion is never an easy solution, but sometimes it's the most responsible one.

I would NEVER be able to get an abortion now that I have children! I know what a gift they are and could not do that to the little person in there. I f I could not afford them then I would give them up for adoption. I had an abortion when I was a teenager and never regreted it until I had my daughter and realized how precious they are.

I think it is acceptable if it is in the best interest of your existing children. I can't imagine putting them through a pregnancy, just to give their sibling away. If the pregnancy is "the enemy," I think it is the right decision to terminate it.
~~Don't come on here, posing like a person with a real dilemma. You abuse the good intentions of decent people who care enough to give you advice. Get a life . . . and a brain! The abortion debate is a waste.

No...if you don't want the child then give it up for adoption...there are a ton of parents who can't have children and would love to raise your baby as there own. Its not the babies fault so just have the baby and give it up if you don't want it like I said.

It is your choice, not the choice of strangers on a message board. Talk to a doctor or go to a Women's Care Clinic and discuss your options.

You should consider giving the baby up for adoption if you don't want the child. There are plenty of parents to be just waiting for their child.

I would never get abortion--regardless of whether I had kids or not.

No you sholdn't get an abortion. You will regret it later. And I know for your question that you are a loving and caring Mom. Your baby will thank you later in life.
