| | | Nicole, this is your decision. Either way it is your choice and not anyone elses. Everyone has the right to their on opinion and to make the choice that is right for them.
Bless you. |

| | | Nicole,
Have you spoken to your parents about this yet? Regardless of what you decide, I really think you should.
I wish you the best of luck with your decision.

| | | No, I still haven't talked to anyone but Bobby and that's how its going to stay until I feel I'm ready to talk to my parents about it, which could be a very long time.
I look at it like this.. What they don't know won't hurt them.
And I feel that this is my decision and nobody else's. Afterall it is MY body. I could tell them and they could tell me what they think and everything, but still that won't change my mind at all. I'm going to do whats best for me right now, and thats that. |

| | | Nicole, I only suggested it for your own safety. I don't know if you read my post on the other thread before it got closed, but I explained why I feel this way.
I don't know what they have told you about abortion, but if my friend's experience is normal, there is no way you can hide from your parents what is going on. When she took the pill she became very weak, pale, and literally felt like she was going to die. She even called the doctor thinking that she was dying. I believe these pills work by giving you a dose of hormones, which could have an effect on your blood sugar. I would think for safety's sake it would be good for them to know what is going on in case they need to monitor you or get help.

| | I don't think your friends was "normal".
They also have the surgical procedure, where you won't have all those side effects.
I've done my research and know what to expect.
Thanks for the thought though  |

| | | You're welcome. She is the only one I know who has had an abortion (who has talked about it at least). We're just concerned for your safety.

I will not say one way or the other on the descision. That is not my say to say.
I will just say my prayers and support will be there for you both as it is with all my friends in tough or trying times.

| | | Dear Lord... I am praying for you and your unborn baby. I am praying that you will practice a responsible form of birth control after this experience. I am praying that something will change your mind...Love in Christ
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Thanks but I'm going to do what is best for me.
I have my reasons for considering this.
and this post is really old, I have since then made an update to this, and if you don't get a chance to read it it says I'm not sure what I'm doing now. But again like I said I'm doing whats in my best interest right now. |

| | My prayers are with you - my pump was a God-send before, during, and after my pregnancies. Do you have one? If not, have you considered one? Keep us updated! Your A1c is looking better every month (or 3)! Quote:
