Abortion

I hope nobody is going to judge me for asking/sharing this. I am due to get married in 2 weeks time(postponed due to situation), but just found out im 8 weeks pregnant. It’s hard as i fear this will affect my family considering my background (muslim). The thought of knowing family will be embarrassed really gets me. I am contemplating on terminating the pregnancy as i am half hearted. What would you do if you were me?

Please don't terminate as is a life. There are many people want to conceive but couldn't. Since God, in this case Allah, want this baby to come into your life, you should happily accept. There must be a reason. Is your husband-to-be aware of your pregnancy and your thought? If no, have a good discussion with him. I understand your worry from Muslims' point of view though I am not a Muslim. As long as the baby is born 6 months or more from your Date of Solemnization, the baby is legitimize. To avoid others gossip or criticize, maybe given no choice to say a white lie that the baby is premature. You may want to seek for counseling during this predicament. Stay strong. Take care.
