Hi sweetheart, I don't think you need to have a termination at all. I can understand that you are frightened about your income and your OHs job situation. Jobs come and go though sweetie and I am sure that your OH will find another job. When I was born neither of my parents were in work and we got along just fine, my Dad soon found work and my Mum was a stay at home mum. During my first pregnancy both my fiance and I were out of work but there was never any doubt in our minds that we would keep our baby. Sadly I had a miscarriage but that baby would have been cherished regardless of employment. Stay strong sweetheart xxx

I have been trying for 9 months. I believe it has not happened yet because it is not my time yet. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that baby was meant at this time. And speaking from experience... If that is the decision you go with it will follow you forever.

Oh, I was in your shoes 3 years ago, so I understand your worry. My first pregnancy was unplanned & my husband was out of work. What I made barely kept a roof over our head. He finally found a job about 6 weeks before our daughter was born. However, I knew that no matter what I had to do, termination would never be an option. If you need government assistance until you can get on your feet, use it! That is what it is for! You are only 7 weeks & a lot can change with your financial situation over the next 33 weeks. It may be tough for a while, but you will make it through. Trust me. So much that we buy our newborns isn't necessary. You can do this. I promise.

Don't terminate. You can find a way to make it work, even if one or both of you has to do temp work or something until you find a full time job. Find a way. You can do this!

Things will work out. Dont terminate, you'll regret it and its amazing how quickly things can change. People with and without money struggle when they have a baby, but most people manage. If you go ahead with the pregnancy you'll never regret it. Especially when you hold your baby 4 the first time, no matter what your bank balance is. Good luck hun. Xx

Don't do it. You will regret it, because things will turn around and get better!

If you terminate this baby you will blame your husband for the rest of you relationship. Do t terminate just because of a job. I lost my job at 3 months prego with my daughter. No body would hire me cuz I was prego and would need time off as soon as I had her. My husband also got laid of off for the winter at the same time. My daughter is 4 now. My husband got a batter job and I don't hardly have to work now. It will all work out! No body can ever afford a baby. Get state assistance and your husband can collect unemployment. There are ways around it. Please don't terminate due to a job.

Dear don't do it cuz babies are luck they always bring luck me and my husband were the same place with our first and we just pray and before I had my baby he got a better job and we were even happier so dear God always look for everyone so just have faith and look the present . I will pray for you!

please don't do it! You will regret it so much because things will get better and you'll realise it was the wrong decision and wish you didn't do it... Trust me, things won't stay like this forever, you and your husband will sort this out, I mean it would get sorted even if you wasn't pregnant, right? Think about it and don't panic, you'll be fine x x x
