Hi I'm a 22yo SAHM, with a 21m boy and a 8m girl. I just did a pregnancy test as I'm late of 2weeks period and feeling a bit of stomach discomfort. Turns out it was positive. Currently, we are staying at my mom's house and planning to apply rental hdb by next year. Our finances for these 2-3 months is a bit tight. My husband asked me if I wanted to abort or keep and understand our current situation if I wanted to abort.
I feel so lost. I know that if we keep the baby we have to be ready to face the situation of raising the baby along with my 2 other kids. But at the same time, I feel that if I were to abort, I would feel guilty about it and maybe It will make me emotional and affect my other 2 kids. I feel like I won't be mentally stable to take care of my 2 kids if I abort :( I'm already feeling emotional and my hands are shaking just thinking about it.
I was planning to register my 2 kids to childcare and receive some subsidies while I go and look for a job and help out my husband. If I decide to keep the baby and after giving birth, I plan to use the patch as a birth control.
Pls don't judge me the only birth control I used before was just condom. I know it's not easy raising a kid but my husband and I are willing to work extra hard to save as much money as we can while waiting for the baby and our rental house. We are willing to do whatever it takes to raise our children properly without asking help from our family. Pls help to advice.
(Extra: If any Muslims reading this pls advice)
Also, i wanna know as a muslim what is the view on abortion regarding my situation whether if it's permissible or should I keep and try my best to take good care/help my husband with finance?
