Q: Mommies, I need all of you to enlighten my mind with your heartwarming advice for me.

Mommies, I'm 20, I tried to abort this fetus at 5 weeks but I didn't bleed. I regret what I did because I really didn't want to do it, I was just scared and not ready. I'm still pregnant at 8 weeks now, I heard my baby's heartbeat at 141 bpm and is growing its size which was the most special thing I ever known. I'm still worried of how can this affect my future and my life especially that the father of this baby is not talking to me anymore, how can I still succeed having a baby, would it destroy my career and life? My MIND says not to keep the baby because it will destroy my entire life but my HEART says keep the baby and even though I'll have ups and downs with it, this baby will give me priceless happiness I could ever have. My family supports me, are excited, wants me to keep the baby, they are all praying for the baby's healthy and normal life in the future. Please enlighten me with your heartwarming advice. Is continuing my pregnancy at 20 a good thing even as a single mom?Thanks

Awwwww I was 17 when I had my first and wouldn't change it for the world!! Only you can make this decision but believe me it sounds as if you have a wonderful support network. It won't destroy your career, it will just delay it for a little while. Good luck for the future. We are all here for you xx

God has blessed you and is obviously sending you a message! It's a tough life lesson to learn, but it's always my belief to take responsibility for your actions. It's going to be hard, but is it fair to not give this little one a chance, especially after you've tried once to abort? You have your family, and your life as you have it now, is and should change, but this is a part of you and I promise that you will not look back and regret keeping this baby if you have a good heart. I was 24 my first pregnancy, with my boyfriend (now DH) only 3 months, on the verge of divorce to another man, and working at Hooters traveling across country opening restaurants having a blast! We found out pretty early on (after being devastated that I was pregnant) that our child would most likely have Down Syndrome. I could have aborted, but I chose life, and aside from my hubby, he's the best thing that has happened to us. This may be a miracle in your life worth fighting for. Message me anytime
