I know people will judge...but I need advice.....I am 34. I have had two abortions and am currently pregnant. Let me plea my case first....I was in a horrible 10 year relationship...gave up my career for him and he was cheating...i got pregnant and he left..i was DEVESTATED. The doctor could not find a heart beat or tissue...so i went for DC, but then there was one. I had two specialist consult with and they both agreed that something was not right, but it was still my decision. I was 30 at the time. I have always wanted to be wife and mother. I decieded to abort. IT was so hard..i morned for several years. Fast forward to 33 going on 34. I met someone...thought he was the one...got pregnant. I was so taken by him, he begged for the abortion telling me that i he wanted to spend time and have a relationship before having kids. I cried every day for months after, he never spoke to me again from the day i terminated. The 9 months leading to now...my friend (who is married) and probably kept me alive through both abortions stopped by to confort me. One thing let to another and it happened. I was on the pill. I am shocked..i have 6 weeks today, i found out today. I love him...as a friend, i do not wish to be with him. He said he would support anyhthing i choose but he of course wants me to terminate.
Have i mentioned that i am a two time cerivcal cancer surviver. ALso with my second pregnancy, i had only 6 months previous had half my cervix removed...there was concern of being able to carry a baby to full term (which weighted heavily on my decision). Now i am about to turn 35...no man in sight. I am embarressed that i am even in this situation and i dont know what to do. I am disgusted with myself for allowing it to happen...I am older, and well educated (working on a doctorate). I have a good job. But I am just so ashamed. I have always wanted children, but with htat has always been a husband. I have shame over my other abortions, and cant beleve i am contemplating a third.
Will i ever have the marriage thing? Should i just count my blessing for this baby no matter how he came into the world? Or should i wait for my prince charming than have the children? I am no fool, i understand the scarifices of motherhood, but i have traveled the world, had two very fulling careers, educations.....but what do i tell my child when they want to know who their dad is?
Please help...

Hi Scared,
Have the baby. You've gone this route before and want it. Don't be ashamed of that.
I will say, and it may seem harsh, but the men you have been looking at are not worthy of being "princes" they are jerks. Take a hard look at who/what you are dating now and try to find someone that really does care about YOU and won't take advantage of YOU.
There are nice guys out there, really.
Good luck.
