    Question abortion vs adoption

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    There is a very strong possibility I am pregnant and I have a 7 week old baby girl. My pregnancy didn't go so well the first time, I was really sick a lot of the time and my depression got pretty bad. I have never had an abortion or given a baby up for adoption. These are the two most likely outcomes if I am pregnant. Of course I will consider keeping the baby but my family would strongly oppose that decision.
    So I'm wondering what experiences people have had with abortion/adoption. I want to make a well informed decision.
    Just for the record my husband is pro-adoption.
    I'm going to the doctors today to find out if I'm pregnant or not. I will know either by this afternoon or tomorrow. Until then I could really use some advice or story sharing.

    Only 7 weeks between having a baby and being pregnant again. I hope you had recovered enough from the first birth to enjoy having sex again when you got pregnant again. Why does your family not want you to keep the second child? Why does your husband want to give up a child for adoption?
    I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

    Any update with you? This is a tough situation...
