Please think thru this decision very very carefully. It's not one that you can change. I understand completely how you are feeling, I was in the same situation. While there are days I'm comfortable with my decision, there are many many more that I wish I could take it back. The decision to have an abortion is a burdon you will carry in your hear and in your mind every step you take for the rest of your life. There will be very little comfort from it. A child on the other hand, while challenging (yes, some more than others and some days more than others) is still a much easier decision than abortion. I wish with every beat of my heart I could bring my child back. I know it was not what I wanted at the time, but I feel in the core of my being that keeping him would have been best for everyone - and now it's too late. A child can smile back at you, love you, and have a place in this world, an abortion cannot. Think very carefully, and most importantly - do not make any quick decisions.

I had an abortion when i was 17 and im now 22. Theres not one day that goes by where i wish that i never went through with it. Anything that I see that has anything to do with babies or abortion still makes me cry. I would definately suggest thinking about how it would affect you. Unlike you I dont have any other children and I do think that once I do have a child that a part of my heart will be filled in again. So it might not be as bad for you because you can just love the kids you already have a little extra but it is definately a big deal and I dont think that mentally I could survive ever having another one.
