Just found out I am pregnant again. Super not ready for this. Considering an abortion. Can anyone share if they regret going for an abortion later in life?

Hello sister. First of all, congratulations. I sense you would like to keep the baby as you wanna hear stories of regret and remorse to affirm your decision. I do that too, sometimes. I want to let you know that whatever you are facing may be temporary. These are the factors and mitigating factors to consider before making the big decision. 1. Finances - if you're able to earn at least a substantial salary with cpf and still have at least 500 at the end of the month, then hey. You are able to save that money while putting aside some for Dr's visit and prepping for baby's arrival. 2. You and your partner's relationship. Is your partner a supportive, non abusive one that could help take care of the baby? Else, is your family members able to support you during this time? If yes to either one of this, then you are good to go. 3. Environment - housing, utilities, income and attention. All these are important to a newborn. Things most of us take for granted. 4. Mental health - no judgements on abortion. But are you able to handle it? Hormones, chemical imbalance in the body can sometimes drive you insane. So take a moment to consider this in its fullest. First of all, upon conception, a life isn't formed yet. What you have is a bunch of cells. This was clearly explained in the prolife vs prochoice arguments. And don't let anyone or anybody influence your decision. Because at the end of the day, you will be the one who have to make the decision no matter what it might be. All I can say is, if you are religious, leave your worries in prayer. They may be answered soon. I wish you a load of luck. And I'm sorry I can't be there for you. Hugs and kisses to you. Take care.
