abortion?

Im 6 weeks pregnant. I have a doctors appointment Feb 6. My boyfriend has two kids and is on child support for both. He really wants me to get an abortion. But I lost my first child Aug 28. He was stillborn. Today I scheduled for an abortion and that appointment is Feb 5. Since I will be 9 weeks it will cost me 550. My insurance doesnt cover it, and I didnt qualify for the assistance. I've been crying all day. I really dont want to get an abortion. I don't know what to do.

In my honest opinion, think of yourself right now. Getting an abortion won't mentally sway him and it won't affect him much. You're early in your pregnancy, but you already can feel your body's change. Aborting can also damage you mentally if you really don't want to. Think about yourself, before him.

This is not just his baby it is also yours and you are the one carrying it. I understand it is hard choice but there are other choices than abortion, there are many families that can't have babies and if you and him are not ready that is always a choice, don't let him tell you that you HAVE to get one there are always other options and people who will support you stay strong hun you can do this :)

If you can't afford an abortion, how do you plan to afford to raise a child?
Nobody will force you into terminating a pregnancy... but maybe if you're in such a dire financial situation you should look into adoption. And using a reliable form of birth control in the future, until you can afford to become a parent.

Sweety, it's extremely easy to tell that your heart is completely against it. If your heart is telling you not to get an abortion then don't go through with it. Your bf doesn't have to pay child support if you don't want him to. Worry about you and your pride and joy that will be making a wonderful appearance and think about all the firsts that you will have with that bundle of joy of yours
