Am I making the right choice?

Hi pumpkin, my name is Enya and I am 16.

I truly believe that God does not bestow upon us more then he knows we can handle. Although you feel alone, scared, nervous, please know that you are not alone. Take Meg for example, she chose life for her children and look at her now! She is a happy successful mom with 4 beautiful kids.

If you kill your little baby you will regret it for as long as you live. Could you imagine not having your eight or ten year old around? every child deserves life, no matter how small!! Please dont punish your little baby for existing. After all, This child was created in love, you should embrace it! Love it and be excited, its ok!!!! God wants you to rejoice in this miracle.

I know you can do this! Do you attend church at all? Try talking to a priest or pastor, or attend the church service and ask God to show you the way, to take away your pain and help you to embrace this pregnancy. A little prayer you could say would be:

[i]Dear Lord,
Lord I am lost. I am alone and confused. I have discovered that I am pregnant, and seek your advice. Father, please show me the way, please help me in my time of need. Lord, I do not want to give up my little baby, but I dont know what else to do. Please help me to find the strength inside to give my child life. Thank you Lord, In Jesus name I pray, Amen.[/i]

Pumpkin you and your little ones will be in my prayers! God Bless!!

I agree with Pumpkin21, there is no contraception that is 100% effective 100% of the time other than abstinence….the important thing to remember is that it can not only affect your health but put a baby’s life in jeopardy, just make sure that you make healthy choices and never put being sexually active on a more important level than life itself….Love Meg

When you look at the big picture minus what anyone but you wants this life inside of you is worth the sacrifice of personal comfort…I can relate to being lonely during two of my pregnancies that I spent single and alone…it was hard, I cried myself to sleep sometimes but the big picture is being lived out now, that was a short time period, I now have a wonderful husband,he married me even though I had two kids from two dads…I am not lonely anymore but I also do not have a deep wound in my heart from the guilt of choosing a man over my children or choosing an easy life over my children and if you ask anyone who knows you will hear that living with the regret of abortion is not easy….the big picture is life, the big picture is that this baby will grow up and be an adult in the blink of an eye and you will wish that you could still swaddle him/her in your arms the big picture is that if you get the abortion you will never forget it and live with regret the big picture is that anyone who asks you to take the life of your own child, not to mention their own child as well, has only their best interest in mind, not yours not this baby, but his….You have a responsibility to this life you created and I beg you to not go on Thursday to be lied to by someone who gets paid to take the lives of the innocent…this baby inside of you needs you…he/she is 100% dependent on you, you have many many thousands of other women on this site to share your experience with, the harsh reality is that there are thousands of girls who share their experiences on here that are sharing in order to prevent you from doing what they did, that is to take the life of this baby, your baby….I hope and pray that you will find the strength inside of you to Stand Up for yourself and your child….I am here for you and please let me know what you are going to do….Love Meg

i think you have the ability to be strong and you already know what it’s going to be like raising a child since you already have two little ones. I think everything will work out for the best, just keep your head high! 🙂

It is always a beautiful day when someone sees God’s opportunities as blessings and embraces them without fear and doubt. We are only doing for you what we would want someone to do for us.

God will continue to reward you for your choice. He will bless you with many graces and continue to put loving supportive people at your feet.

My best wishes for your pregnancy and we’d love to walk through this journey with you so please let us know how things progress.

Prayers of health and peace,

I am sure I share in your joy as much as the other women on StandUpGirl. It was wonderful to hear your update and also to hear your heart speak out with your understanding of where God has brought you in your life. It is a point of maturity and growth, both emotionally and spiritually to lay down your burdens at his feet and to ask him to carry you. Motherhood is a constant act of selflessness from the moment of accepting the life inside you at conception, through the years of raising a child, until the time when they are ready to make their way on their own in the world. We are called to be selfless and put the life of our child first….at all costs. The rewards of that kind of love toward another may not always gain recognition or praise from the world…..but from your child, you will never live without knowing that they admire you, accept you, thank you, and LOVE you. That is why you were blessed with this baby.

I will pray for you and your healthy pregnancy.
Many blessings and supportive friendship,
