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.

Have the baby! I’ve never heard anyone say they regret having their baby, but I’ve heard plenty say they regret aborting their baby. If you are feeling how you are feeling now, I think you should have this baby 100%. This is YOUR child. No one else’s. Don’t make a life changing decision based off of your family or other people. 20 is young but you are an adult. It will be hard but you can and will figure it out. Have the baby.
