What would you do...?

I just had a baby girl 7 months ago via c section.. Yesterday I took 2 home pregnancy test and both were positive. According to my last period, im 6 weeks I do not know what to do... I don't want another baby right now, and I'm scared that my c section hasn't healed and I could have complications. But I dont think i can bring myself to have an abortion... What would y'all would do in this situation.. ?

And remember at six weeks the thing inside you is barely a tadpoles... And it won't remember or feel pain if you decide for an abortion.( if that's your decision defiantly ask for the pill if it's availiable wherever you are)

Ignore  hawra and the idiotic comment. You need to do what is best for you. You c section wound should be healed and if you decide to keep it it will still be another couple of months before you start really stretching. Having an abortion is a tough call I have had one and it was the toughest decision I have ever had to make. I was 20 and was drunk at a party and the morning after pill failed. When I found out I was I decided against an abortion because it was something I have told myself I would never do but I changed my mind later because I wasn't in the right lifestyle and I wouldn't have had enough money to support a baby. So I had an abortion I hated myself afterwards but I realised about 2 years later that it was the right thing to do at the time and the right thing for the little bean that was inside of me.Having two young children at once is a pretty tough thing and if you are a single mum it is going to be even tougher. Over here in Australia there is a pill you can take as long as it's before 7 weeks that will make you miscarry and would say its less stressful then having an abortion. Otherwise you could always put it up for adoption but you do need to realise that that will also be a tough call to make .there are plenty of women who will be here to support you no matter your choice ignore nasty comments because they just aren't helpful.

That is a very difficult decision. In my opinion being a mom means doing what is absolutely best for your child. No one knows yourself better than you and if you know you're not a position emotionally /financially /etc to handle two babies under the age of two I would definitely look into all your options, especially adoption. It is the hardest decision a mom has to make but again it's about making the best choice for the child. It is definitely not a decision to be made lightly though as some parents have waited for years to be told they've been chosen to be parents, so I would make sure that's something you could truly see yourself doing. If you think you would change your mind I wouldn't go that route as it would be heartbreaking for those parents. Ultimately this is a decision only you can make. No matter what mama, I'm sure you'll make the best decision for everyone in your family to have the best life they can. That's what we do :)

I think you should keep the baby, it's not his/her fault that you got pregnant, you are responsible, I would go to the doctor and ask about it, it's unfair to keep the first baby and not want the second one.

Your incision is completely healed and the is a possibility you can have a vbac I had a very successful one. There is always adoption. There are alot of families that can't have babies that want one.
