edited May 2012 in Pregnant
My bestest friend had 2 kids, both of which she had the awful experiences. Pre eclamsia, bed rest for 20 wks with both, er c sections with both, an so on. Well shes preggo again an gettin an abortion due to the fact that shes afriad wat might happen during this pregnancy. I just dont know wat to say or how to b there for her. Iv always been against abortion because babies are a blessing but i kinda understand because shes afriad that this pregnancy could kill her or baby or both. Any advice or stories that may help me b there for her? Shes 6 weeks along........ No bashing please

    The sooner the better. She can use the medical abortion (pill) before eight weeks or the surgical. There are pros and cons of each. Just be there for her if she wants to talk. Don't judge her or push her into any decision. This is a decision she needs to make on her own. If she has no one else, you can offer to drive her to and from the clinic on the day she decides. If she decides on it.

    Im against abortions, but saying that I would always support my family/friends if they had one for right reasons, so just be there and if she is 100% certain, ease her guilt and stay positive around her.

    The best thing you can do is be unbiased and supportive of either decision.

    having an abortion is hard, but at the end of the day she has to do whats right for her and her children. if it really is likely to harm her, physically or emotionally, or potentially leave her current children without a mother, then its the right thing to do.

    Thanks ladies for all ur advice. Shes having it done today, her hubby is watching the kids and i am taking her. These clinics are serious, we had to walk through protestors an everything. It was a little hard to deal with

    I'm sorry she has to go through this. :( ..not to cause any drama or anything but is there any reason why she didn't get permanent BC after her second kid?
  • emyemy
    @kayleigh27 she was suppose to get her tubes tied but she was bleeding out too much during her c sect so they had to close her up. Shes never been able to do birth control. her hubby has made an appt to get himself snipped.
    Thanks everyone

    Oh wow..well I can see why she would be afraid to carry another pregnancy. I hope one day she will have peace about it :(

    Thank u @kayleigh27 . She is taking it rough but knows that her other kids need her too, an she doesnt want to take any chances

    That is so sad. I feel really bad for her. It will get better, and her children appreciate her being there, even if they don't know what's going on.
