Abortion?

[whattodo89]

I'm going to post this in a few places because I am after as much advice as I can get. Please don't flame me, I am feeling horrendous enough as it is.

I am almost 7 weeks pregnant by a man I have known for a few months. He lives an hour away so I have only seen him at weekends so it is fair to say we are as good as strangers.That said he has been very supportive, would support my choice whatever I decided.

I have been undecided until now. I want an abortion. HOWEVER... I have a 7 year old who overheard a conversation between my friend and I. He realised I was pregnant and is now completely over the moon.

I kept telling him it's not a baby it's a seed but his mind is set, he's constantly rubbing my tummy, talking about 'our angel', wanting to know how the be the best big brother etc. He has wanted a sibling desperately for years. He is amazing with babies and incredibly loving towards them. He told me this morning finding out about the 'seed' is the best thing that has ever happened to him. He keeps asking how many days until it's born and going into details about what he'll do with it.

With that in mind, I don't know if I can do it. The guilt in terms of my little boy would be over-whelming. He is so very sensitive and still cries regularly over his pet who died 2 years ago.

Now I know it sounds mad to consider keeping a baby for the sake of not upsetting my son, but I honestly feel like it would be incredibly traumatic for him to believe I lost the baby or the seed did not grow.

Please please help and please don't flame. I hate myself for not being more careful about my son hearing. What a mess.

'didn't ask to be bought into the world'

I think you mean 'brought'

Best not to give these types of posts any fuel- ignore it and reply around it.

Nuff said

Sorry your post has been sidetracked preventing you from getting the support you need. I think the only honest thing that can be said is you have to do what feels right for you, nobody else has the answer. I hope you have someone in real life you can rely on

Also reported every post. I don't know how you can support pregnancy in every case when it clearly produces hateful maniacs, such as yourself.

OP, none of us can tell you what to do, but if you are having doubts, it may be worth taking a week to think them through. You have time if you are only seven weeks.

I guess you have to work from home with 56 baby trolls.

[squoosh]

I say yes, have that last campari.

Oh, yourusername, you really are the gift that keeps on giving. You've worked hard tonight, spitting your bile all over MN. 10/10 for effort, but the content... not so much.

[FairNotFair]

No, no... You've done really well. But it's time for a nice sleep now. Maybe a damp flannel on the forehead and a spoonful or two of the Age 6 Plus Calpol. You've got school tomorrow so have a quiet day today and make sure you're up to date with your homework .

[FairNotFair]

Or skip school and go and see your GP.

OP, ignoring the sick fuck who is posting here and getting back to your dilemma, I was in a similar situation last month. My child, thankfully, wasn't aware so without that complication. I have a thread running in Pregnancy Choices and also happy to talk off board by PM of its of any help

Ok, ignoring the weirdo for a minute

Op, you must make the decision for you, not your son. I know he will be upset but he's a child and doesn't have the maturity to make this decision. For you.
