Hi, Anna,
I am so sorry for all you are going through.
I will try to address some of your physical problems. First, perhaps the best remedy for nausea is ginger tea. You can sip the tea or ginger ale. Also, your doctor should be willing to give you something for the nausea which will be safe for your baby. In addition, there are some natural supplements that may help with the emotional issues. One of the best is phosphatidyl choline. They give around a gram per dose, and it is just a B vitamin. There are other remedies you can try. Here is a link to a site that has a lot of information: DrMercola.com Also, there are other sites. Try using search terms like GERD, herbs. A lot of your symptoms will be relieved to some extent once you are no longer in a turmoil about your pregnancy.
Yes, pre-cum can do the trick. As for your boyfriend, he sounds like a loser. I'd distance myself from him if I were you. You may be able to keep him out of the picture. Here is a link where you can get help with all your issues, and they should be able to help you find a lawyer who will advise you on how to get him out of the picture. Document every fight you have with him. Document his DUIs. You will need to build a case that he shouldn't be in the picture. To find an organization near you that can help, go here: pregnancycenters.org If you don't live in the United States, let us know, because we have another link for the rest of the world. When you find one near you, go let them talk to you and tell you how they can help you.
As for things like stretch marks, there are remedies. But I think they have to be less important than your state of mind. As long as you wear a bra, sagging breasts is not really an issue. They may sag, but you don't have to look like they do. A lot of your symptoms will ease up. Nausea rarely lasts past the first trimester. When you are less tensed, your blood pressure will go down. Your brain asks it to go up when your blood vessels are constricted so it can get enough oxygen. Stress can certainly bring this on.
You don't sound like a good candidate for abortion. You are too upset and unsure, and you are in a panic. People don't make good decisions when they are in a panic. It is really hurtful that a woman has to even THINK about an abortion. You should never be presented with this level of turmoil. The availability of abortion robs a woman of her joy. That's wrong. The emotional aftermath of abortion can also be very deadly. You will be far worse off than you are now.
I hope all of this will help, and please feel free to ask questions. You will be in our prayers, and we love you and your baby.
Hugs,
Pat
