Unexpected pregnancy causing a war HELP?

After my son was born 8 years ago I had my tubes tied because the doctor said it was to risky for me to have any more children. my husband and I were fine with that we had 3 kids and were happy. Well somehow I am pregnant, even the doctor that did the tubal is amazed but says it does happen although not very often. The doctor wants me to abort due to medical reasons ( I almost died having my son and I have MS and would have to quit a lot of my meds ) however I actually like the ideal of having another baby. My husband and parents agree with the doctor and tell me it is to risky and to think about the other 3 and what it would be like for them if they lost me. I love my kids and my family but I feel God wanted me to have this baby and it is truely a miracle how can I explain that to them. We haven't told the kids yet because my oldest remembers what I went through with her brother and know she will be scared. HELP.

    It's risky, for sure... and a miracle just the same.

    I certainly understand your family's feelings on this situation. They fear losing you and this baby. But, the fact is: you have a new life inside of you, despite all odds. God is the giver of life... and no child is conceived without him.

    There are so many ways to track / monitor pregnancy these days. There are medical innovations galore. No one can make you have the abortion. This is your choice - to keep the baby. NOW: this may cause the "war" you reference to continue. This is your test... and theirs. Obviously you are a believer or you wouldn't have mentioned God in your question. That being said, you will not suffer alone - mentally or physically. Regardless of any harsh words or anything else you family can dish out, you can press on in faith.

    You may already be familiar with the prayer... if so, just read the words again... "Thy will be done."

    Take care. God bless.

    Let me get this straight. You have a loving husband and 3 wonderful children at home. You had your tubes tied because it would be too risky for you to have another baby. Despite this you are pregnant again. Having this baby could cost you your life and leave your children motherless and you are not willing to abort because of some "god". You are the most selfish person I have ever met. Forget about your god and do what is best for the family you have now.

    I can totally understand where you are coming from. I had two very life threatening pregnancies. The reason I had my tubal was to prevent orphaning my children.

    Is it worth another baby to risk your three children growing up without a mother?

    Only you can decide, but your husband should have an equal vote. He is facing raising three children alone. That isn't fair.

    There are times I miss the smells and coos of a baby. Or the pudgy hands. I have decided to be a fabulous aunt! When new babies come into my family I herald them!!!

    What is more important, the chance of another baby or raising the three you have?

    Only you know what is in your heart and why.

    I totally understand the guilt of a medically necassary abortion. If that is the route you choose, think of it as saving three children vs one.
