well, i never thought i'd be in this situation but here i am, almost 8 weeks pregnant and feeling completely lost. i wanted kids when i was younger but not at this age. my husband is 48 and already has a 14 year old from a previous relationship. i really want to get an abortion but am terrified that it will be a terrible/traumatic experience. from all i've read, not one story of a person who had an abortion and is OK with it. the few people who know i'm pregnant tell me to think about it because it's a miracle i got pregnant at all and that if i terminate it is my last chance. i really think I'm OK with that because i nothing about having a baby appeals to me. there's so much i still want to do/experience and it does not include having a baby in tow. yet i feel a tremendous about of guilt because i am in a loving relationship, we have jobs, a house, insurance, etc... and yes, i'm getting therapy. want to make sure i do all i can to make the best decision for all of us yet i'm tormented beyond beleif... i know no one can tell me what to do, but if there's anyone out there that may be facing something similar or has been in such a situation please let me know. or does anyone know someone who's had an abortion and is OK with it???
