Lime baby

Nov 7, 2016 11:13 PM

My baby is about the size of a lime.
Today I booked an appointment for an abortion.
I know that it's the right thing to do, I know that I need to be healthier (I have an autoimmune disease that I need to get under control), I know I need to be more financially stable.
I know all of this, but I feel awful.
I keep thinking that this little, innocent life is gonna be ripped out of me and thrown away like some piece of garbage. I'm worried that he'll feel pain.
I'm worried that once it's done, I'll just want my baby lime back.
It's 23.00 and I'm crying in bed thinking about all this, my partner is fast asleep next to me and I have no one else I can talk to.

Wake their ass up and talk to them. Even if not their kid, it is still part of their life.

Adoption is always an option. However, I hope that whatever you decide you find love and support.

You're doing what's right for you. It's perfectly fine to have an abortion especially if you aren't financially or mentally ready.

Sometimes, I find that a little scientific backing can help life make a lot more sense. Good job for being responsible. You got this.

You are not alone OP, I went through it last spring. It was very sad, but I don't regret it. I became a member of a group on fb to help 1/2

Why? It is so unfair when children have to bear the weight of their parents poverty.

My autoimmune disease has stopped me from working sometimes and cost me a lot of money. So yeah, I want to be in a better place for a child.

Did you intentionally ignore the part when she said she has a auto immune disease? A child could create complications to her condition

I have an autoimmune disease as well, and what you are going through is my biggest fear. I want a baby so bad. I am so so sorry.

But at this time health & financial stability are more important, because if you can't take care of yourself, how can you for a baby? Its ok

It will be okay. There's no evidence right now to suggest at this early that little lime feels pain, or truly much of anything. If this is

The choice you feel is right for you right now then it is the right choice. It may be on your mind for a long time but eventually it will

Feel okay. Don't let anyone guilt you. Especially if your life is in danger to carry full term, or the baby would have been endangered

You make the decision that's best for you, but coming from someone that had one, it still haunts me fifteen years later... It stays with you

But I had made the best decision for my life and his.. But I still have all those "what ifs"... Just be prepared to have spiritual pain too

You have a autoimmune diseases, you and/or the baby would be greatly affected by this, and by getting the abortion you are caring for

I believe you should carry the baby, my reasoning is too long winded to explain on imgur, but the best gift you can give sometime, is life.

Pregnancy might compromise the mothers health. It is a sad thing but there is enough human life that has no stability. We all need to take

Responsibility for our decisions and be conscious that life is not so simple to give and even more to take away

OP hasn't said anything about her own health, and besides, the life of her child is more valuable than what little harm might come to her,

Although, if he life is at risk I would say she should try to find some way to ensure the baby's life without compromising her own, whatever
