I went for my first ultrasound yesterday and im having a bit of trouble dealing with everything. I will most likely get an abortion because my partner and i have discussed it and think it is the best option for us but everywhere i go i get reminded that i am pregnant. I was excited yesterday when i went for the ultrasound and although i didnt get to see much it was still something inside of me. Today i went to the gym and told the trainer and she was telling me about her two kids and i feel like i should be feeling excited and i want to be excited but i know whats going to happen. I dont really know what to do and how to get through the next couple of weeks. I dont want any opinions on abortion or anything like that i am just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing. If you dont have anything nice to say then please dont answer my question.

First of all you have to do what you need to do and what you can live with, you are making a decision that will be with you for the rest of your life. I would like to say that I had an abortion at 17 and I still think about it even though for me it was the right decision (I am now 34), I am pregnant and have had no problems either with the pregnancy or getting pregnant as a result of the abortion. Being pregnant is an exciting, scary time and it brings a lot of emotions with it. Think about what your doing and the reasons why...you have more than one option and no decision is final until you've gone through with it. Good luck in whatever you decide!

Sweetheart, it's okay to feel the way you do. I had a pregnancy scare last year october and was excited to the point of shouting it at the top of my lungs. But then i found out i wasn't pregnant and my world shattered into a million pieces.
I understand that you and your partner have discussed an abortion but think about the repercussions. If you have an abortion, you might not be able to conceive in the future. My advice to you in this case is to check your fertility now and in about 2 weeks time. You still have 3 weeks till the cut off for an abortion. But it's not my place to advise you on anything. I'm just asking you to think about what you're about to do and think carefully before you do it. Your body belongs to you and that's all there is to it.
I know that having a family is real expensive but don't let the thought of money put you off having children. I would have a baby tomorrow and i know that i am secure in the fact that i have someone who loves me and accepts me for who and what i am.
Make the right decison before you take action.

YES it is ok to be scared!!!!!! i mean even people who plain to get pregnant are even scared. you should go over all the options out there and not just abortion, there are many other things you can do.

it is a very confusing time, when i wanted children but could not have them for medical reasons i wanted another one as if it was the only thing in the world, everywhere i looked there were babies, prams, expecting women. When i finally did become pregnant the whole world fell apart, it was at the wrong time, i had just retrained, got used to not having another, gained more Independence as daughter was now 9, you name it, it went through my head. I did manage to come out the other side with a little boy.
Good luck with what ever you choose to do.

I am only 7 weeks along and my partner and I think it's probably best to have an abortion too, but my heart keeps telling to me keep it. So I am going to. Follow your heart, you'll find a way to make it. If you really love each other you'll make it. This will be the greatest thing that has ever happened to you.

Of course your partner wants you to have an abortion. He doesn't want the responsibility. I'm not against abortion that's a woman's choice. I have 2 wonderful children and I couldn't imagine not having them. (Yes, their mother wanted to abort the first one). Getting pregnant and having erratic hormones causes allot of emotional issues. Please make your choice wisely. If you make the ultimate choice please remember the possible birth date and every year buy a birthday card for the child you decided not to have. I'm sure you will make the right decision.
Give that baby a hug for me......

If you made your child out of love, then welcome him with open arms. Don't be afraid of the responsibilities. It is just part of our life. If your BF woun't take the responsilbility, He's not worth it.
