Congratulations on your pregnancy! I wonder if it is a boy or a girl? I hope you post lots of pics of your pregnancy & new baby – there are lots of girls on StandUpGirl who can offer you support!
I found out at about 18 weeks with my first child, my son. About 22 weeks with my daughter. I found out because I had so little money with both the kids that I really needed the money I had BEFORE they were born to help me get things ready. Because I found out, I was able to find used furniture for my babyies rooms, and tell everyone what kind of clothes & things I needed. Both of the children had their own nursery, well until we moved when my daughter was about 9 months old and they had to share a room. I was able to do some simple gender specific decorations. Sometimes I wish I had left it a surprise. But I think in the end, in my financial position and the fact that I had some slight post partum depression after their births, it was better for me to find out when I did.
BTW CONGRATS MWEBER! I Luv YA!
I am sorry that you are dealing with so much pain at such a young age. Please know that God still loves you, and that everyone sins. You felt you were making the right decision at the time. You can’t keep beating yourself up about it. If you have asked for God’s forgiveness, you can pray about it and give it all to God. I do not believe that God expects us to be perfect. The only perfect person, as far as I know, was Jesus and even he went through tests on Earth. Please try to stay strong and let go of your pain – you will never forget but you have to let go. I had an abortion and it is very painful, it is the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life. God would not want you to spend the rest of your life suffering and in pain. You have to find ways to move on and to become the person God wants you to be. YOu just have to keep on trying, and try harder next time, and be stonger in your faith next time so that you can make the decisions you know are right. I had an abortion knowing it was wrong, but it was also wrong to be in a position that I needed to have the abortion. We are all sinners, every one of us. Life is very challenging and it isn’t always black & white – there is grey area and I believe that God understands what women go through, and the struggles they face. You are not alone.
