Hi, Missy.

I've known of many women who've regretted having had an abortion, but I've never known of a woman who regretted NOT having had an abortion. In other words, once your little one is in your arms, you will be incredibly grateful that you DIDN'T have an abortion and will hardly even be able to imagine the world without him or her in it.

You'd be amazed how developed your little one is already. His or her heart is already beating - it's not a BIG heart, of course, but the heart is actually beating at 18 days past the point of conception! Absolutely amazing. By 10 weeks, he or she already has ALL of his or her organs - they just need to grow in size - and he or she has brain waves and tiny fingers and toes. We tend to think of the developing embryo as a mass of cells or blob of tissue, but it's far more intricate and developed than that. (We all start small ;-)

I wonder why your daughter isn't excited about your pregnancy. Does she feel threatened? Embarrassed? You have two children right now. You might end up choosing an abortion, but that doesn't erase the fact that you were pregnant. It's your daughter's little sister or brother that is inside you right now.

It's not going to be easy being a single mom, but the rewards far outweigh the drawbacks.

Hang in there and keep us posted. (I'll say a prayer for you and your children ;-)

Sharon
