I'm going to get hate for this comment but I hated kids as well. Never wanted any, never got along with them, and they made me nervous. Then I had my daughter. It's totally different. I'm still uncomfortable around other people's kids but I wouldn't trade my own for the world. They are my reason for getting up in the morning, hell, they are my reason for existing. I never bonded with my daughter through my pregnancy except for the smallest amount of awe when I felt her move. But when she was born, my whole outlook on life changed. I know have an 8 month old son as well and my life consists of children's movies and diapers but I love it. I live for it. When my son sleeps in my arms, I find it so bittersweet because it's the most amazing feeling in the world but I know that one day, and soon, it will end. But even then he will still be my baby boy, same as my 6 year old is still my little twerp. Consider adoption but give yourself a few weeks to bond with the baby ( there are some adoption agencies that allow this). Of course, while it shouldn't be the reason you keep "it", newborns do go through a mourning process when they are separated from their birth mom and have to grieve before they become attached to their adoptive parents, which they eventually come to adore of course but, at least in my opinion, you need to be sure you absolutely don't want the child before you give it up. That baby, that did not ask to be created, comes to know you by scent,sound, and comfort gestures in the womb and your partner by sound. You will be the only people he/she has known in its 9 months of life. I'm going to get attacked by pro choice people ( im pro life but do not believe in outlawing abortion) but the reason I called its time in the womb "life" is because if it experiences things while there that it remembers after birth, what else could you call it? Some people aren't cut out to be parents but you can't know until you give birth and see that little human that you made. I was terrified of being a mom. I didn't want to give up my freedom or have to think about another living thing that counted solely on me but when I made the switch from pregnant girl to someone's mom, I realized that the "freedom" I was afraid of giving up didn't go anywhere. I can still go out for drinks, can still travel, can still have fun with friends, I just have to plan a little more for a babysitter or for an extra person tagging along. And that is the best part. The more people you have to share special experiences with, the better and more fulfilling life gets. It's hard of course, but it's the kind of difficulty that's fun. Kind of like a hard video game. You go through those early months of no sleep, but it passes so fast and every minuet of those kids being little is precious. All this is coming from a woman that originally HATED kids. I can't stress enough how much I never wanted a family. I'm not telling you that you have to keep it or your a terrible mom, but just asking you to keep an open mind. We are biologically built to bond with our offspring. Not liking other kids has nothing to do with the natural bond you have with your own.

Also to add to the people asking, "what is too far along?" Unlike other places, in Florida, if a doctor says a fetus would be viable outside the womb, they can say that the pregnancy is 'too far along'- this means that a doctor could deny a on abortion because a fetus had a tiny chance of survival, regardless of when in development the fetus is. Florida law USED TO cut off at 24 weeks. New laws also do not permit for abortions under psychological duress, with the only exceptions being made for risk of death to the carrying parent or grievous permanent damage to their body.

adoption please. If you're not gonna take care of it

As a blissfully happy child free person you have my commiserations. I can't imagine what I'd do if I was past the abortion point. And for all those idiots out there who think parenting is the be all and end all, I know you'll be a better parent than the majority (being a thoughtful person who doesn't go with the flow). Sadly it doesn't fix the dilemma.

I have had a vasectomy .. After 5 kids lol... And me and my wife have had no more kids .. Thank goodness lol...and it has been 9 years so i think if you used protection you would not be in this situation... On the other hand give your child a chance bc believe me i never thought i would have 5 kids but i would die for each and every one of them ... Children are a blessing in disguise ... Give em a chance who knows you may end up wanting more ... And if not me and my wife will take him or her ... Just hope its a boy bc i got three daughters and two sons

...I have no idea how my reply ended up attached to this comment. I think the one I was trying to reply to was deleted. Weird.

U suck OP

How can you be so far along and just now find out ? Just because you can't abort doesn't mean you have to keep the kid

OP, This is my worst nightmare and I am so so sorry for you. Maybe there is another state or country where you can still get an abortion. Good luck!

If you hate kids, why didn't you get your tubes snipped and tied?
