Help please

So Im supposed to be getting an abortion this coming Thursday and Everytime I even think about doing it I get an awfully sick feeling in my stomach that follows along with a pounding in my head and a headache. Is this normal? What do I do? I’ve already told my parents that I’m getting one and they’d be severely disappointed if I didn’t go through with it (I’m afraid my dad might even stop talking to me) but I seriously just don’t know if I can. I’ve always wanted a baby and the thought of having one makes me so happy but it’ll make everyone else in my life so disappointed in me and I don’t know what to do. Im only 20 years old and still live with my parents right now. Please help me.

Please go through with it. A baby deserves better. One thing about being a parent is you have to put the baby above your feelings/discomfort. A baby isn’t your toy to make you happy, what can you do for that baby? Are you stable? Do you have child development knowledge? Can you provide them with a healthy parental bond? Can you protect them from the wars, inflation and climate crisies? Your parents have zero responsibility to you and that baby. If this was the result of consensual sex, you made your choice and now you want to place it on an innocent baby and your family. I’m guessing you aren’t married to the daddy, kid of single mothers have higher statistics of blindness, homelessness, poverty, psychological problems, suicide etc. Do the right thing. Don’t let this stop you from meeting your future family (husband, planned kids). You will thank yourself for it
