Hi pls help, should i have an abortion?

Hi im 20 years old and recently found out im pregnant, i already have a son whos 2 and a 9 montha old and i found it hard raising him by self until i started going out with my partner now. We have been together a year and a half but were friends for about 4 years so iv known him for a while. Hes a really good father to my child and he loves him like his own, because i feel my son is old enough to go to daycare full time iv recently started working full time and i go and study one day a week to get my cert 3 in disability, i work in a disability hostel as a carer and i love my job. Everything is going really well for all of us. My boyfriend doesnt really want to get an abortion and neither do i, but the timing ov this pregnancy isent right and he doesnt want my life to be put on hold again because iv worked really hard to get back to work and school, he said we can have more children in the future and he wants us to be secure and finacialy ready before we have another child. I think he is right, so i agree with him. We already have one child, and its really hard, but i dont know how i will deal with having an abortion, i think it will be really hard, for me and my partner because he cant wait to have kids. I would jus like sum opinions of my situation and wonder what other people think i should do.

Thanksz peeps

well we went to the doctor today and we've decieded to keep this baby
i will be still working and studying up till around the last month of my pregnancy.
i wont get to finish my certficate and will have to have time off. but i will have finished most of it and when i return will only have to do an extra 4 months or so.
but we made this baby out of love and we already felt bad about just thinking about abortion.
it will be hard but i cant just kill a life like that even tho it isent the right time.
thank you for taking the time to answer

Awesome!

so wonderful to hear your decision and that you have a great plan for making everything work out with your career and your family. Yep there will be challenges but nothing good comes easy. Big congrats and keep in touch. Peace.

Timing

Hey jenn891,
Sounds like maybe you already answered your own question. You guys really dont want to abort your baby. Your partner wants a child of his own. Its great that you want to do the best thing for your present and future family; I suspect youre a great mum and partner. But the timing is never perfect, usually not even close ... and I think you already know that babies arent interchangeable, you cant just send one back and say well come back and get it later. If you terminate, this baby is gone forever and youll have to live with that fact. I hope that doesnt sound too harsh, but its just another way to look at it. Youve already got a little person growing inside you who is depending on you for his or her life. No matter when you have a kid there will be challenges, even if youre a millionaire who has all the time in the world, there will be challenges. But also there will be many joys, no matter what your situation is. Hold onto that thought and listen to your hearts, which after all is more important than financial security. You can do it! Let us know how you get on, and best of luck to you no matter what. Peace!

I think u can do it

i think tat everyone is having money problems and bringin another child yeah its going to be hard all u can do is think can u really do it
