3rd pregnancy. Unexpected, Confused.?

Do you really think you'd be comfortable aborting and then going on and raising your other two kids? Wouldn't you always wonder what their brother or sister would have been like? And sure, you don't know that your new baby won't have problems, but you don't know that it will either. Many mothers drink and more than just once during their pg's and their babies are fine. And the x-rays were minor ones...I'm sure if you'd ask your dentist, he'd say the risk is very minute. You know mothers of olden days didn't have all these safety concerns...they drank, took aspirin, and had x-rays and other medical treatments, yet most of their babies were just fine. We (women) always worry about our pregnancy health anymore; sometimes I think society puts too much "mommy guilt" on us. Most babies will be born fine no matter or in spite of what we do or don't do during our pregnancies. Can your marriage handle an abortion better than a third child? You ask specifically how people have found the jump from 2 to 3 kids. I'm not going to say it's easy, because it adds a new level to the mixture. But your oldest will be 5, and 5 is a wonderful age really. They are more independent. They are in school, so out of your hair for some of the day. I think you'd find the jump not so big after all because of this. I have a lot of kids...a lot more than 3. I seem to manage. My kids aren't short on attention or love. I don't see having more as being able to give less. Yes, they do get less one-on-one time, but overall, I give my kids more personal attention than most mothers that I know. And I know they feel loved my me and their siblings. For us, more is merrier. GL with your decision.

I am currently pregnant with my 3rd child which came as a bit of a surprise as my youngest son is also 2, however, not for one minute would I consider not having this baby. I don't agree with abortion as anyone I know has regretted it for many years. Also a friend of mine nearly went through with it, she had been to the clinic a couple of times before she decided to keep the baby and she drank a lot and took heavy pain killers etc as she was so sure she was going to terminate, she changed her mind and now she adores her daughter and cant believe what she nearly done, she was also lucky that the baby was healthy. If you really dont think you want or can love this baby then why not consider adoption, there is so many couples out there that are desperate for a baby. If you do go through with an abortion then be prepared to live with it for the rest of your life and justify it especially as you know the joy that children give, don't expect anyone to make the decision easier for you, it can only be you that decides.

Take a deep breath. Talk with your husband and then talk to your doctor. I doubt that one night of partying this early in your pregnancy wont harm your baby. Now, if you were drinking every day, I would say differently. The xrays were of your mouth. Not directly at your uterus. Minimal risk. I have 3 kids and I love every minute of it. I won't lie, it is a whole new level of chaos, but it's the best chaos I have ever experienced. My kids are 12, 10 and 6 and the age difference is perfect. You need to do what is best for you and your family. This is a decision only you and your husband can make.

Abortion. Sometimes It's best if It's done. I know a girl who had 2 abortions after her first born. I was thinking in my head 'wow if she knows her method of birth control isn't working why not get on the shot?'. Get on the shot.

Put it up for adoption. there are people out there who want kids and cant have them think about that. aborting it will make u feel worse.

well i think you have a chance of having a baby with defects since you got drunk, and i also think you shouldnt go through with it if you didn't plan or want a baby. your best option is to abort and if you will feel relieved after solving the problem then do it.

it is a not popular and unbelievable but some time it may be create because of harmons. if 2 baby are happy in life also 3 kid is may be happy.

do what you think you need to do. but before your 12 weeks!
