[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 471180, member: 1514"] Malika, I dont want to start an argument with you in Nancy's post but why do you even post or respond to threads in the PE forum? You have a 4 year old. This forum is for parents with kids over 18. I dont think the issues you are going through with J even compare to what we are going through with our adult difficult child's. Now that said. Nancy, I hope this does effect your daughter in the same way it did me. My first pregnancy happened in the fall of 79. It was certainly not planned and it happened because birth control failed. It would have been a disaster for me to have had the baby for many reasons. My gyn was convinced something was in the water because 4 of my friends all ended up pregnant at the same time. Sad but true. We all got abortions too. It was the 70's and it was the era of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. I barely knew the father well and certainly not well enough to saddle us together for eternity. I had the procedure done on 1/4/1980. Yes, I remember the date. I didnt take it lightly or go into it not knowing what I was doing. 13 days later I turned 18. I dont regret what I did. I know I did the right thing. I also dont think it should be a means of birth control or I would have had another one when I got pregnant with Billy in August of 1980. Instead I married his father. Maybe I should have done it twice. Who knows but I thought I was doing the right thing in marrying my ex but that turned out to be a disaster. When I got pregnant with Cory, the doctor's begged me to abort him because of the risks of some medication that I had been on plus they had done xrays twice to me unshielded before I knew I was pregnant. The risk was great that he would be born with birth defects (and he was). His father and I just said we would deal with what we got. I have had one abortion and one miscarriage with the follow up D&C. I do not regret my choices because they were mine to make. I am glad I had the right to make my choices. I really think my first pregnancy was probably a girl and she was given back to me as my first grandchild. Keyana. [/QUOTE]
