just need to talk...

I am 22yrs old. Me and my fiance have a 14mo babygirl who is active, beautiful, and incredibly advanced for her age. I just found out i'm pregnant today.. which makes me almost 5 wks. money of course is tight. Very tight. My fiance doesn't feel its the right time for another baby; but i feel as if i cant terminate the pregnancy as I've already had one abortion in my teens and suffered an eptopic pregnancy a few months ago... im now very stressed and in a dark hole with not knowing what's best. Any advice?

Thank you ladies. Its a relief just to hear positive inputs about my situation. Im also nervous about not being able to give my daughter as muchu attention as I've been able to give her.. esp after the new baby would be here.

I guess that's a common worry amongst all moms with multiple babies though...

Im a firm believer that God will not put you through anything you can't handle. I am definitely keeping that in the back of my mind.

In all honesty who can afford a baby right now? This baby was completely unexpected and we already has 6 kids between us. When I found out I was pregnant I wasn't the happiest about it. But with that being said I love my little angel with all my heart and don't know what I would do without her.  Its tough and money is tight with a newborn, 2,4,6,8,18,21 year old but you can definitely make it work. This baby is a blessing non the less. Goodluck!

Don't abort if you feel like you can't. Just tell your fiance that's not an option. Yeah money is tight and it might seem like you can't afford another child, but mommies and daddies always do whatever it takes. As long as you have the basic essentials and lots of love to give your children they will be happy. You never know if you will be given another oppurtunity to have another baby.

Do what's right for you.
I had a few times that I where I thought I was pregnant and thought I couldn't go thru with the pregnancy since it wasn't the right time and it was taking both my income and my husbands to pay for utilities and 3year old sons daycare, and have some extra lil bit for going out each time it came out negative I felt relived. But once I got the positive test in December abortion didn't even cross my mind, we had to cut back a lot, but its no big deal we have food on our tables and utilities. My husband found a better job.
