Deep feelings toward keeping my baby, that I cant shake, when all logic is absolutely not.

Has anyone experienced this before?

our situation is absolutely not right for another baby really, and ultimately it will leave us worst off and stretched in several ways. I had an abortion a couple of years ago, and I had no feelings like this and knew that was that.

It almost feels like intuitive? It is making me so stressed and I try to push it down, but it comes back up, like almost a real feeling of love in my heart.

it could just be anxiety etc, but when I think about terminating, my throat closes up but it does not match my thoughts.

its making it so much harder

@13MAPARTHELL I don't think you are wrong to want your baby. I accidentally got pregnant less than a year after getting married and we weren't ready for a baby, in many ways we knew it would leave us "worse off," as you said. But we knew we wanted a child, and decided that there was never going to be a perfect time. And if we were "worse off," we have never regretted it, and we would never trade our daughter for more money, a bigger house, more holidays, or anything else. It's natural to feel protective and loving toward the tiny life developing inside you. Love is not always rational, love is always a risk. Have you talked to your partner about this? Is he saying you should abort again? I hope that you are honest with him if part of you really wants this baby. There is no shame in that, and most of the time a resourceful couple can find ways to make it work. Good luck to you as you work through this.

I had this feeling. Which is now my current toddler. 5 years prior I had an abortion but I had zero feeling if towards the baby, and it made the decision and action very easy (although the healing emotionally after was tough!). I think our gut guides us sometimes, and there are no explanations or reasons for it. I went to about 3 abortion appointments and just couldn’t do it this time around. It didn’t make sense to me at all.

I wish you the best whatever you decide and good luck x
