Q: Abortion because of UNbearable Morning Sickness

I am 27 years old and Monday starts my last semester of college. I found out on July 14, 2009 that I was pregnant. I had 1 previous abortion 5 years ago and vowed to never do it again. I have always wanted the husband and baby type thing, (so I thought). Anyway, the father of the child is just a family friend who was having trouble with his current girlfriend and we hooked up while they were on the outs. He didn't try to get back together with her until a week after I told him I was pregnant. She has no idea that I am pregnant and I have not heard from him in 4 weeks. He lives 5 minutes away, no telephone call or nothing. Despite this, I felt that I had enough family support and financial support to raise this baby on my own.

I had experienced a little nausea from the begining, but nothing major. About 4 weeks ago it kicked into overdrive. I vomit all day. The smell of outside and even my own clothing makes me vomit. I have been hospitalized 2 times already because my electrolytes were all out of wack from the vomiting. They are threatening to hospitalize me for good if I don't start eating six small meals a day.I have tried all week and continue to vomit until there is nothing left to throw up but the bile in my stomach. A lovely array of yellow and green stuff that has a welcoming acid taste. I am on bed rest now and can't work because I suffer from motion sickness as well. They have tried all types of medications including ZOFRAN (same medicine chemo patients get) and none of it has worked. It makes it worse. I finally just can't take it anymore. This pregnancy will interfere with school and disrupt my entire life and I am starting to hate it for it. I made the decision to abort it today and I haven't felt this happy in weeks. I feel horrible for being happy about getting rid of a growing child inside of me. All of my family is so happy that I am pregnant, but I am not. I have lost a total of 17ibs in 4 weeks. Is it wrong to be happy about an abortion?

When you are that ill during pregnancy, and NOTHING is working, abortion can seem like a silver lining. So, feeling happy is not wrong. I would not call what you are feeling "happy", I would call it relief. You should not feel horrible. Some pregnancies are really rough on one's body. Your next pregnancy could be easy as cake, but this one is killing you. Not literally, of course, but you know what I mean. Being in school, being literally drained of all your nutrients (be it the fetus draining you or your stomach draining itself via vomiting), yeah I can see how an abortion at this point would relieve you and make you feel better, even happy. Abortion comes with all sorts of feelings, and all of these feelings are normal. It doesn't help that you have all sorts of hormones raging either. If abortion is what is best for you, then go for it. Just be sure to think it completely through so that when you look back on things, instead of feeling regret, you know you had a valid reason.
If you for some reason change your mind about your abortion, morning sickness more often than not, goes away around the fourth month. But for some people, it stays up until birth. I don't say this to convince you to abort or to even stay pregnant, I am telling you this so that you know. There is no way of telling if you are one of the ones who has a rough first few months or if you are one of the ones that is going to go through vomit hell the rest of your pregnancy. If the misery and sickness you are going through right now would be put at ease by abortion, then go for it. Regardless of your emotions, you have to do what is best for you. Good luck! Smile
