Hello, I am 11 weeks pregnant and I’ve struggled with making a decision from the moment I found out at 4 weeks. I’m 27 years old, this is my first pregnancy and I’m married.
About a year ago my husband admitted to cheating on me with several different women. I’m broken to my core and I can’t imagine having a child with someone who could hurt me so badly. My abortion appointment is tomorrow and I’m so afraid that with my fragile heart I will regret this decision. My husband of course wants the baby and me, however I can’t imagine the idea at this time of bringing an innocent life into such a fucked up season of my marriage and life. Any encouragement is needed. Thanks.
