Also too, just wanted to add in, that if your boyfriend gets mad that you don’t choose abortion, then remember that hes really not worth it at that point. Of course this is only if he knows what abortion is all about, but I think everybody does these days especially when you have shipping trucks driving around with pictures of aborted babies on it. (which i think its unnecessary, tbh.) But anyways, we all know the ‘truth’ of abortion, or at least most people do.

I think we should stop calling the baby “it”. It’s not an “it”. It’s a human being…child/baby/he/she.
I am very concerned that the OP has had a change of heart. This is so so difficult for her. I went through this myself. My boyfriend didn’t want the baby. My family was telling me that my education was more important. I chose to destroy my child.
It’s so hard in this world that is full of hate and judgement of young women with a child. No one looks at her with awe about how she chose to keep her baby despite all of the social stigmas going against her. People see her and the child as a inconvience.
This social pressure can really push a young woman to make a tragic decision.
It is a shame.

Serap… I just wanted to thank you for being so upfront about your own situation. It’s very hard to share something that you’re not proud of with those that natually condem the action. Yet, your experience offers some very important information… A truth that must be made known.
And so thank you and May God bless you and yours!

Thank you and as a Christian, I think it is very important to support this young woman even if she makes a tragic decision. Anyone who judges her should really take the plank out of their own eye.
What this woman needs is support from someone close to her. If she is lacking that, then this baby’s life is in danger. Mother Therese saved many unborn babies during her vocation…she provided these women with love and support and a roof over their head.
Mother Theresa also said that for women who choos to destroy their babies; if they truly repent, confess and put their pride behind them and allow themself to believe that Jesus has forgiven them, they can show their support for life by giving life later in their journey.
Abortion is very sad and it’s easy to see why so many young girls choose it. It is more accepted by society than keeping the baby. It is a horrible mess we are all in.

Remember that is much easier for two to do the same thing together than for one to do it alone. Just stick together. You didn’t get here alone.
Glad to here you have an appointment to start getting the care you and your baby need. Keep us posted.

Before you go back to the physician, please call one of the contacts that I gave you. I have a very healthy mistrust of OB/GYNs. Especially in countries like Canada, where doctors work for the state. Their laws require that they present the abortion alternative. If they did not put it on the table at the first visit, it’s going to show it’s ugly head at some point. They can’t impose it on you. But it should never be an option in the first place. None of us should have the option of killing our children.
If you don’t want to use those contacts or you call and do not feel comfortable with them, please email me and I will get you more contacts. I’m even giving you my email in public, just in case someone else would like to use it.
br_jay@franciscansoflife.org
or you can go to our webpage or our blog and get our contact information from there. You can even call collect any day between Tues and Fri.
Go to our other website and find links for 800 numbers that you can call from Canada. www.respectlifemiami.org or go to www.priestsforlife.org and pick out one of their 800 numbers.
Please stay in touch.

Dear Celestielle,
i know both of you feel overwhelmed by the fact that a new life is present in your body. Do not let this fact to push you to commit a really bad action. To try to supress a new life, the life of your baby is by no means good. Defend and protect your child, only you can do it. You have the power to do it. Do not let sinful hands destroy his/her life. Pray to God to give you strenght and it will be granted.
Listen to our Brother and receive the counseling of spiritual guides because only when we walk in life with Jesus we can be sure that we are walking in the right path now and for the rest of our lives.
Abortion is taken as a convenience, but it is a crime. Do not be part of that, dear. Let your child growth inside you, give him/her your love, the love of a mother, so that he can feel also loved. Do you know that babies in the womb can also feel the feelings of the mother? Love him, as you have been loved and cared by the members of this forum.
May God guides you and may Him shine upon you and your child.

Dear Celestielle,
It is true what Brother Jay said: i have been in one of those centers and i have had beautiful memories of it. Young moms getting the necessary help to keep their babies, not with a face of unhappiness or regrets, but we a face full of confidence, love and determination to preserve the life of their babies. Happy faces proud of having their childs, more aware of what it means to become a mom, not only when the baby is delivered but even before that, that this is the stage where you are in.
It is a labor of love what they provide in those centers, labor of so many people who give their unconditional support to the future moms and dads as well as to their child.
They provide you with counseling to the couple, to help them be more aware what it means to become a father or a mother. Even for single moms to be there is always help for them. They give classes about how the baby develops, the demands and needs of a baby, the demands that a pregnant woman might require when time comes to deliver her baby. They provide skills for the parents so that they can get a job and contribute their share to the responsability of raising a child. You won’t feel misunderstood there or left alone. They provide you with all the needs your child might require during the first year of his/her life, from food, diapers, cribs, toys, etc.
Even if your boyfriend does not accept going to the center that our Brother have recommended you, i really encourage you to go before taking a decision.
I speak for the child that is inside you. Do not kill him, but protect him and love him. He deserves it. You are the mother, you know what a feeling is to be carrying a child, a child made of your own blood and flesh. Defend that life that is already there. Defend that life that is telling you: do not kill me but give me love and your protection.
Abortion is a convenience, but we can not deny the fact that it is still a killing. we should not kill what is born from our own flesh and blood, he is a gift from God and we should respect his/her life and be thankful that we are able to have the gift of motherhood even when other women who could be better than us are not in the position to enjoy what a pregnancy and motherhood mean.
If you have any questions regarding to what i wrote, just send me a message.
I pray for you and for your beautiful child, dear.

Hi, I was the very first to respond to this thread and I’m quite joyed to read this!
You had another post that said you didn’t think anybody would be following the thread, but I, and I think many, many others have been sick to their stomachs waiting to hear good news like this.
I hope that if you and your boyfriend choose to raise the baby yourselves that you’ll start another thread or blog with a joyful title so that we can follow your progress and continue to stand by and support you!
Best of luck and god bless!

It is very frightening, especially if you’re younger. But like everything else in life, this too shall pass. I always say the same thing. The worse that can happen is that people will rant and rave. Well, guess what, people rant and rave about all kinds of things. It’s almost natural to human beings.
Once the ranting and raving wears off the rest is just a matter of getting organized and ready for the baby. You’ll have a lot to do caring for yourself during your pregnancy. You won’t have a lot of time or energy to pay attention to the nonesense around you. As the months move along and you get closer to delivery, you’ll be tired and excited at the same time. You’ll be uncomfortable and impatient, because you can’t wait to see what the little one will look like. Your back will heart and you mind will whirl with all kinds of beautiful ideas for clothes, a crib, playing with the baby. It’s a mixed bag of feelings and emotions.
GUESS WHAT!!! All of these things together remind us that we’re very much alive and that we’re human beings. You will feel what no one else can feel for you. No matter how much others describe it, it’s not the same as when you experience the ups and downs of motherhood. I guess this is what makes mothers so special. No one can feel what they feel and no one can love like they love.
This is what you need to keep in mind. No one will feel what you will feel and no one will love as you can love. It’s all yours, the feelings and the love.
Don’t be shy about contacting the Catholic pro-life movement. After a few minutes of chatting, they’ll feel like family, as if you have known each other all of your lives.

If you have an ultrasound, please request to hear the heartbeat. Once you hear the heartbeat, you would never be able to let this baby go.
And yes, your baby has a beating heart inside of you right now.
