I am sure this was very hard to share, but by sharing hopefull it will help you heal.  Please don't hesitate to get some professional help as well... perhaps that would help as well.  Sending positive vibes your way!!!

First of all, I do not believe in abortion.  Having said that, I will say that Only you and God have the right to judge you.  He is all knowing and has your best interest in his hands.  If he guided you to this difficult decision,  then please do not beat yourself up.  You have 4 other children to think about.  Yes, you could have carried the child to term and given it up for adoption.,  But who knows what would have happened to that child or to you had you attempted to carry it to term. 
   We are here for you.  I will keep you in my prayers.  God Bless you.

Sorry you had to make such a tough decision at what should be a happy time in your life.  Hope you feel better soon.  I think you made a good choice.

Hang in there.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

Dear Priscilla...    I am against abortion, but there are always cir****tances that take over - and in this case, with you being so new out of WLS, it may have been difficult for you to get enough nutrients to keep the baby healthy.  Your postings tell me that you probably wouldn't have considered this if things were different. 

I will pray for you and your children.  I think that you put a lot of thought into your decision and you made the best choice for your situation.

You made a tough and courageous decision. Still it will take time to deal with your pain. I am sorry for your loss and having to go through this on top of not feeling well. Our hearts are with you. I would definitely find a therapist or someone to help you through this. Remember you are never alone and we are here for you.

My heart goes out to you. You were in a very,very difficult situation. To decide on an abortion is extremely hard one to make.  It was between you, your doctor, and God.. With everything that you've been through, you need to concentrate on the 4 areas of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and the spiritual.
Believe me , this will make you stronger.
May God bless and guide you through you journey. My prayers are with you.
PS Your children are very fortunate to  a terrific mother like you.
