terminating!

I been racking my brain and crying my eyes out thinking about terminating this pregnancy and I've been getting stomach cramps since this morning. I think it's all the stress but i just can't help it.  I can't clear my mind.  Do anyone have any tips for clearing your mind?

As far as calming your mind, try doing an activity that doesn't require much brainwork. Just enough to focus on whatever it is. I'm in counseling, because of various reasons, but my counselor suggested coloring. Just plain coloring, and it works very well for me to calm myself down when I have overloads. As far as terminating, I would talk to someone before making a decision like that. Its something you'll have to live with for the rest of your life. There is also adoption, so I would talk to someone who can help you.

I'm glad you found humor in that its not a joke. You knew what kind of person he was when you had the first. So why did you think he be any different the second time around? You Dont have to rely on him financially nor can you force him.  At the end of the day you know what needs to b done. It's your choice

Yes I am losing hope and your right my babies didn't ask to be here. I pray everyday but again I'm not really to religious or believing. That's good you and your daughter made it threw. I couldn't imagine being put in that situation. My baby doesn't sleep and is always crying I don't get downtime or a break.  I'm overwhelmed and beyond stressed out.  The woman next door to me was murdered and whoever did it left her kids in the house with her.  It's so much going on I'm terrified to bring another child in this world with everything that's going on with me. Just have to find that faith...

Hahahaa. The whole look up abortion videos thing made me laugh and scared me all in one but thank you that's the first time i actually smiled today. My baby dad will forever be the way he is I'm not the first he did this two and he left me before when  was five months pregnant with our first child. Him not being here financially has a lot to do with it and me not wanting to do childcare is the other part.  Thank you though I just need to find faith and a way to clear my head.  My migraines are horrible!

You should speak to a family planning specialist, they can refer you to a counselor and talk about what options are realistic for you. I dont know how far along you are but the general options are parenting, adoption, and abortion. An abortion is a very personal decision and asking on here you will get very biased answers. Some would say only god can truly judge you, so make a decision that is best for you and your childs life. Good luck.

Have you prayed lately. Everyday you post on here it seems like your giving up hope. Things don't happen overnight but with time it will. Like I told you these children didn't ask to be here. But what's done is done. I agree with Valerie watch YouTube ur whole mind set Will change. I had my daughter at 25 weeks born at 1 pound 7 ounces. She had to stay in the nicu for 3 months. I didn't know what the outcome was going to be. But shes now 10 months n 18 pounds. Some women cant have children so dont take it for granted. Don't take the easy way out ur better than that.

You Want to clear your mind of thinking about terminating your baby? Go on youtube and look up abortion videos. That will change your mind completely. I know your stressed out about your baby daddy but I promise even after you abort this baby he will probably still be the same since you still have to deal with him because you already have a child with him. I'm sorry your going through a lot, we all have hard times but killing this innocent baby won't make anything better. You can get help in your community. You can get free childcare and get a job when baby gets here or even now if your up to it. There are plenty of programs that help women in your same position get on their feet. Helping with baby things, bills you name it. You can do it. Just put a little faith in yourself.

I understand with your feelings of wanting to end your pregnancy. My physical pain wasn't bad but my emotional situation was unbearable. consider bringing a life into this world that is part of you and even though it may be uncomfortable now it won't last forever. To help relieve discomfort try taking a bath and tyeneol. Both are safe ;) and just because you're feeling not so well now doesn't mean in the next week or two your body won't feel alot better. Good luck to you and God bless you and your baby.
