my husband says that he want to keep this baby.i tried to make him understand that it will be hard for me.but he does not want me to abort this baby.
pleas ,help me in this condition.what shoul i do?should i keep this pregnancy or abort this baby?and how do i let my husband understand that i m not ready physically and mentally for this second pregnancy.and how do i terminate second pregnancy?abortion or there r some pills which can help.please reply me as soon as possible.i m going through a very hard condition.i need help.

AnswerThere are Abortion pills you can take, however, they can not be used for women over 6 weeks. There is also adoption. You can have the baby and give them up for adoption. You should sit your husband down and go over all of the financial, physical and mental aspects of having another child and make sure he is listening and reading all of the statistics. I understand where you are coming from. It would definately be hard for any woman to raise 2 children, both still in diapers.
