Re: lost and lonely

To lost and lonely,

I, too, once felt like I had caused major birth defects when I was pregnant for the first time many, many years ago. And I used this to rationalize an abortion that has impacted me psychologically for too many years. I had been drinking alcohol during the first few weeks of pregnancy, and even though I did not know much about development, I did know that alcohol was supposedly harmful to a developing "fetus".

At this point, I would encourage you to let your baby develop as it will. If it is totally unviable, you will probably miscarry.

There have been many instances of even doctors telling mothers their babies were not normal in the womb and encouraged to have abortions, and they turned out perfectly fine.

Is there a Crisis Pregnancy Center anywhere near you? Do you have a pastor you can talk to? I will pray that God will lead you to others who can support you through this time in your life and help you make wise deicisions.
