I called my local pregnancy crisis center and explained my situation. Kathy arranged for us to come in and have one of their counsellors talk to my husband. I was sick to my stomach on the day of our appointment because I knew I was tricking my husband by saying we were going to an abortion clinic (The only way I knew how to bring him in). The counsellor brought me to a room and they took my husband to another room. Janet, my counsellor, explained to me that they will talk to my husband and show him films and other matertial. We were there for a good 1-1/2 hours. My husband was quiet when we left. After that session, he never mentioned the word abortion. He tells me he has "feels like a woman going through mixed emotions". He keeps asking can we do this again. I keep reassuring him that we are going to be okay.

Just want everyone to know that I am having a boy (per ultrasound). I have been praying hard that he would change his mind. I am gland I found this site and its resources, which enabled me to find a way to change his heart.

My prayers are with every woman who goes through what I have gone through. God finds ways to make it through.

Thank you so much for this site... I do not think I would have made, if not for these ladies at site or the ladies at the pregnancy center.

Hi, Dimples,

Thank you so much for letting us know! I am VERY happy for you. Congratulations!

Don't feel guilty for wanting to show your husband the truth. What he did to you was unfair, and he put you into a position where the only way you could get him to listen to you was for you to do exactly what you did. Better he should find out now, this way, than after it was too late. I think there are several stories in the Bible where someone deceived someone else, and God blessed that person for having done the right thing. The midwives in Egypt deceived their masters and claimed babies were born too fast for them to kill them, and Moses was hidden in bulrushes. Rahab hid the spies and let them down over the wall. Lying means not bearing false witness AGAINST your neighbor. When yo do it to protect your innocent neighbor, then there is nothing wrong with it. Corrie ten Boom hid Jews in her home to protect them from the Nazis. When Nazis came to the door, she'd lie and say there were none in the house. The Israelis planted a tree in Israel for her. If more Christians had been brave as she was, many more lives would have been saved.

Your husband needs time to think, but he will be OK.

Hugs,
Pat
