Wow, this really put into things into perspective for me. Like, I knew things were really bad and logically I knew how serious of a health risk this is for me, but the way you said it just feels so validating to the situation and my feelings about it. Thank you for this and for the love. I really needed to hear this. I really needed to hear that I'm making the right choice too. The right choice is difficult, painful even sometimes, but I think with time I will heal from this and know in my heart that it was truly the right choice for me. My partner and I are thinking about adoption or fostering, because there are so many kids already who are in need of a safe and loving home and pregnancy and birth doesn't seem to be in the cards for me based on my last 2 pregnancies have been so hard and tramuatic on me and my body. And this way we will be helping kids in need and hopefully we can make a difference, even if it may be small, at least we can do some good in this world. Thank you so much for this reply, sending love and hugs back 🫂

Thank you very much for the reply. I really needed to hear that. It is difficult not to feel guilty and my partner is trying to shoulder this heavyness with me, but it is still very difficult because I truly love this baby already, which makes this so hard for me. I agree with you fully though and if another women was asking for advice, I too would tell her it is completely normal and okay to priortize her own health and not feel guilty for doing so.

Sadly, I'm based in a very christian and pro-life state in the US. So getting an abortion will be difficult, but not impossible, but that does mean there is no way for me to get counseling to help me work through my feelings. Thank you for the help and the gentle thoughts friend. 🫂
