Abortion *Trigger*

I am having a really hard time lately with this pregnancy. I'm not quite sure if I want to continue it. I don't want BD to be involved AT ALL and I feel that the only way to avoid that is to avoid having his baby. I don't know what my rights are exactly and I need to research that before I make a decision. I'm also on a lot of medication and my health hasn't been so good lately. I don't know whether I'm just really emotional right now or if I'm really doubting this choice I've made. My mom who is adamately against abortion is even seeming to be supportive if that's what I choose to do. Although she is saying, "for your health" and things like that, when I know good and damn well that if I have an abortion it will be lastly because of my health. I'm not sure if I can raise a baby on my own without BD's financial support, and If I do continue the pregnancy I want to tell him that I'm not pregnant anymore. So I have to be sure. I'm so confused, I'm gonna take some time to think this over and make a decision very soon. Any advice from those of you who have been here before would help a lot. Thanks.

I havent had an abortion before, but i have had feelings like that when i was pregnant. Just remember that no one can tell you what choices you can make, it is your decisions not your bds or your moms. I hope you figure out what decision will be right for you!

with all these conflicting feelings, you might consider getting out a trusty pen and paper and writing a list of reasons why you want an abortion and reasons why you want to continue the pregnancy. Once you've brainstormed--which you can do over a whole week if you need to--you might have a better idea of what you're dealing with and how YOU feel about it. Sometimes it can be hard to tell which feelings are yours, and which are coming from what other people want from you, you know?

I wish you luck! The truth is that you can make either choice work, as long as it's your choice. I'm sure you will figure out what is best for you.

I don't want my BD involved at all either. I'm due in like 2 weeks and I will just make the best out of the situation with him. I've never had an abortion, but everyone here will support you what whatever choice you decide on. Think it over and maybe make a list of pros and cons. Good Luck.
