I was twelve when my sister was born - a 'surprise baby' mum thought she was going throught the 'change'. was a bit embarrassed at first and was amazed to find my mates thought it was great! then she arrived - love at first sight! me and my younger bro used to fight over who was going to cuddle her! she is my baby sister and i love her to bits - and that was over 40 years ago! you shouldnt worry what your kids will think hun, besides - do your kids run your life? they shouldnt! they are just kids and you are the adult.

Not true, they will talk you through all the options and not try to influence you in any way. Whatever you decide they will help in any way they can. I would encourage you to contact them.

Oh, they might mention 'abortion' but the sentence will be spoken with lots of 'down sides' and 'negatives'.
I don't think there is a more 'anti-abortion place than this!

It's very sad that you feel this way. The counsellors in these centres are highly trained professionals and give more than lip-service to the option of abortion.

They will help anyone whatever they decide and will help woman and men both during the crisis and afterwards. Please don't let your bias stop people from getting the help they need.

op? YOU still here hun? if you just want to talk then PM me. I try not to judge - honestly. you need advice and i suggest you ask GP for counselling before you make any hasty decisions.

I'm going to be shot down in flames here, BUT there is another aspect to this. No one has mentioned that there are already far too many people in the world as it is. You already have five children. We are all made to feel guilty if we don't recycle or stop flying or turn down the thermostat, but I don't hear many people saying the main reason we are running out of resources is that there are just too many of us. I can't understand why limiting the number of children we have is such an emotive issue, it's just common sense. If we are told that we can all make a difference if we do small things like turning off the tap when we brush our teeth, then surely deciding not to bring yet another human being into the world should be pretty high on the agenda? It's just plain irresponsible to claim it is someone's 'right' to have as many children as they want.

'Ducks and runs for cover'.

Not by me you're not - I thoroughly agree that its about time people realised that whether to have a child or no is not just a "personal" decision. One has to take account of the fact that there are already WAY too many people on the Planet and in this country in particular.

On a very personal level - I think it would be wrong to let ones own "hormones" do the deciding for you. I have always firmly believed in doing what I myself decide - b****r my hormones (thats just Nature's way of trying to propagate the species - regardless of our feelings on the subject).

Also - all the other people in the family have to be taken account of - both OH and the existing children and its not fair to expect them to take an even smaller "share" of time/attention/money than they already have each.

I expect thats me about to be "shot down in flames" as well - but it does have to be said.

I wonder why the OP has deleted the original post?
