Please help me with some advice!!! Ok...I have a disabiling condition and I am having an extrememly hard time with this pregnancy...Hard time walking, eating, choking and everyday stuff is getting harder and harder as the pregnancy goes on. Doc's say that they don't see how I am going to get threw the rest of the pregnancy!!! I also have cancer cell's. My problem is they can give me med's to help me but I can only use them if im not pregnant!!! Do I think about termanation and starting my med's to get better, do I not take the med's and risk my health and the baby's health and worry about my parent's having to take care of the baby and me!! The father is not involved and never will be. This is a personal choice from what the doc's said..But they advised me from the beginning not to get pregnant and this was not planned at all, I planned on not putting myself threw this!! Everyday life is getting harder and harder, if im not ok how can I make sure the baby is ok??? This is very painful but what is going to be best in the long run???

If you do go thru with the pregnancy is it going to my long term physically, mentally, developing, or emotionally hurt you or your baby?

Hi...

Hi..Thanks for writing.....The effect's for me will be long term...I may not be well enough to take care of my own child. The pregnancy can put a strain on me and put me in a wheel chair. They are unsure of the health of the child, they have said the baby may not have any effects or the baby can, it's a 50-50 thing. I feel like my body is going to give out on me at anytime, but w/a child I want to be there 0 and with my condition that will not be possible in the long run.....I am sooo confused and so scared. What if I can't play and take care of my own child? I was doing really good and then this past month I had an attack and it grows each day. The med's make the attack's to where they are not as strong and go away with time. But not having anything is sooo hard/

Yeah....

That's the hard part..I am 24 week's. They only do it at this stage if there is health problem's or danger to the woman. Tha's what my doc had said. So the hard part is making the decision!!! Im stuck between a rock and a hard place 'big time"!!!

Hey girl my name is jenifer and I just wanted to tell you that I have a friend that also has cancer cells, but she has chosen not to have an abortion. She is almost to term and no major problems have come up. Im not sure how bad your case is but just know that if it's remoltly ok for you to keep the baby you should.

Hi...

I am so scared and confused!! The cell's don't bother me as bad as the disabiling part. I just want us to be healthy and take care of my baby!! This is the hardest choice I have ever had to make!!!!!!

P.l.e.a.s.e. .l.i.s.t.e.n.

24 weeks and the baby is viable. If you had an abortion now, you would be killing a child that more than likely could survive. If you could hold off a couple of weeks even and then ask your doc if they would induce you, you'd more than likely have a baby who after a few months in the nicu could be just fine. If you don't feel capable of taking care of the baby, then think about adoption, there are so many couples out there who would love to preggers but can't be. You be suprised at how quickly it can all be done too. If you can't wait that long ask them to induce now, because your baby has a good chance of survival now. My sister had a baby at 23 weeks he was 1 lb 7 oz and he is fine now, no developmental delays or anything. I urge you to please consider an early delivery, rather than killing a viable human life.

Please don't think I am bashing you about your decisions either. I am just trying to help, I didn't know weather or not you knew that the baby could survive at this point.

I agree if you are already 24 months along, do you know the procedure for an abortion is partial birth? Its horrible,

oh and in case you guys didnt already know john kerry has voted more than several times for us americans to spend more of our tax money to support partial birth abortions! That is why I am not voting for kerry, he is a horrible person!!!!

Hey Guy's....

Ughhhhh.....I hate this!!! This is my worst nightmare!!! I am starting to get a little worse everyday!!! My dad had to help me walk threw the living room yesterday and I fell into the cofee table. The doc's said that there is one medicane I can take but it would help me out but hurt the baby!! I had a mis-carriage before and the doctor's always told me that it would be in my best intresr "not" to get pregnant and I guess I see now why they said that!! If I terminate this pregnancy im going to feel like the worst person in the world!!!!! I hate myself for even getting into this. I dunno what to do Question

Re: Hey Guy's....

No one can blame you for terminating, because it's not your fault, your just protecting your child's health!
