This is YOUR decision. Whatever you do, you WILL regret it if it’s what someone else told you to do. This needs to be YOUR decision. I cannot stress this enough. I was coerced into abortion by my boyfriend and my dad. At the time I thought I was doing the right thing but I had already bonded with my embryo and the idea of being a mom of two. So when I had the abortion it had really hard consequences that I did not expect. It wasn’t really my "choice." I had only done it to appease my father and boyfriend. I am also in college and it can be done, you just have to work with what you can get. Are you in community college or a 4 year? My community college has all sorts of women’s programs for students with children, and even if you don’t have something like that it isn’t all that hard to find a babysitter or work your classes around times when your husband could watch over the baby. I’ve done it, so I have no doubt others’ can to. There’s absolutely no reason to have to choose between your child and your career. It’s not fair to you or your family! Overall, this is YOUR decision. Just make sure you aren’t being coerced by anyone, and that includes societies pressures to choose your career over family. It’s a bunch of bull! I hope you are all right. Update us when you can.

Hey there,
I also had an abortion approximately 8 months ago, and I’m still struggling with it to this day. I’d be more than willing to talk with you about anything. I know how painful it can get. we can just chat here. It’s up to you!
