Amz~
Hello and welcome to our board! We're so glad you found us! You stated that you believed you were 7 months pregnant...I'm assuming you meant 7 weeks? I know you are stressed and scared right now, but first I want to encourage you to get tested to see if you are actually pregnant. If you are in fact pregnant, you have found a wonderful, supportive group of women here that want to offer our help and support. You stated that your daughter is almost 8 months, but I want to remind you that she will be a year and a half when the baby is born. My son(my first) was also only 8 months when I found out I was pregnant with my second(my daughter)...they are now 3 and 4 and the best of friends! They have such an amazing bond! I also have a 2 year old daughter and a 5 month old son! So, I don't think your situation is too crazy! Amz, remember that you also stated that when you found out you were pregnant with your daughter, you couldn't "destroy your child's life." This child is just as much your child as your daughter is and it's up to you to protect this little life! I think the fact that you've come here shows that your heart is crying out to give this child a chance. I know raising children is very difficult and draining both financially as well as mentally...but it is also an amazing gift. They're little gummy smiles and coos are just enough to remind us of this beautiful blessing we've been given. I promise you that if you are in fact pregnant, we will help support and guide you. I hope you allow us the chance to help you! Amz, listen to your heart...what is it telling you? I am praying for you today as you sort through all of your feelings. Please keep us updated!
God bless,
Tracey

Dear Amz,
After reading your posting, my heart was saying...She needs to rethink the abortion. Amz, I don't think you would be here writing unless your heart was speaking to you asking you to not have this abortion. I know that it may not be the perfect timing in your life, but honestly, I doubt that the majority of babies come to any family at the perfect time. Our last child was a complete suprise, I worried so much , but everything seemed to fall into place.
I would hate to see you do this and then come home and have to live a lifetime of regret. It will wool you emotionally forever if you are already saying you feel you will regret it before it's happened.
You say you are doing this partly for your child. What if you are miserable and loose the joy for life if you go thru with the abortion and your child looses the mommy she has now because she is living with sadness everyday. Just please take the time to think it over more okay. We are here for you.
