It is too early for us to have another so we have made the choice to terminate the pregnacy. Is ther anyone here who has had an abortion after giving birth to previous children? How did you deal with the emotions of the abortion while seeing your children on a daily basis?

To the question asker - do you have any charity organisations in your area? I know in the UK we have an national organisation that gives support to women who go through abortion. An organisation like this is probably a much better place to go as you will get non-judgemental support from them from experienced people who have been through what you are going to go through. I hope you find what you're looking for.

 I am a firm believer in life begins at conception so if my answer sounds judgemental I'm sorry I don't mean it to.
Being 6 months pregnant myself with my first child I can't say I can put myself in your shoes. All I can really say is make sure you think this through properly before going and doing it because the backlash can be quite bad.
Make sure it IS what both you and your husband want.
My sister had a baby 10 months ago and I asked her what she would do if she fell pregnant again so soon after Jenny was born and she said she didn't know but she didn't think she could have an abortion either.
I haven't had an abortion so I can't tell you how to cope after. Just make sure it's what you want to do. I would also advise chatting to someone else about it like a counseller or someone. Your doctor should be able to refer you to one. It might come in handy after to talk to someone about it.

personally my own opinion i wouldnt have an abortion at all not after having children. i wouldnt be able to deal with the pain. with my oldest daughter she was 3 months old when i got pregant with her sister they were very close in age, as the same with my 2 boys. i have 4 children. and i couldnt cope with having an abrotion. now that i see my children. i had an abortion in my life when i was younger and i regret it now that im of age if i had say so then i wouldnt have had it done but becasue i was under age my parents made me do. but honey please do think about your decsion long and well make sure this is really what u want to do. good luck to u with whatever your decsion is...
