Resolved Question

My husband died 9 weeks ago and i have just found out i am pregnant, what do i do? I already have a little 1.?

Thanks for some advice, my husband died on the 22nd April of a heart attack and died in my arms in the house. He was only 35. My son is 18 months old and i love him dearly. I will have this baby but my point was how would i cope without my husband seeing this baby not wanting to get rid off it like some comments that have been left. All i am saying its hard loosing my husband but to find out this on top of everything else is a big shock and tearing me up inside. Thanks to everyone who have left their best wishes. Lisa

Have your little baby, Im sure that she or he will be beautiful and your husband, where ever he is now will love him and watch over him. Give your baby the same amount of love youd give your husband and other child. You will only greive more if you abort your child, the last legacy your husband can give this world. Be sure that you children know that he loved that and that they are his (and your) legacy.

Oh have the baby to celebrate your union with your husband. There are family/friends/charitIes who will help with the finances.

Children don't need *things* they need you !

If I were you, I would have the baby but ONLY if I was financially stable. I know its hard. But only keep the baby if you are ready. :) I hope you feel better.

I would have the baby.

What would he want.....your husband. You are still raw with the loss of your husband and to find out something of this nature is upon you without him next to you is a very daunting and impossible situation for you to visualize on your own. Just for now try to live as you are accustomed.
Here is something for you to think about, though, are you a US citizen? If so, both children should be entitlled to some sort of death benefits based on your husbands employment history.
Also keep in mind, that this is his child. Perhaps this child will help you to focus on life now, instead of life passed.
My prayers for you and your family in sight of your loss.

Hi lisaholmes79
You ask: what do I do? This suggests you are looking at all available options. Surely this is a matter for appropriate Counseling. Your grief and the apparent shock of your pregnancy are enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed. Surely though your primary responsibility is to yourself and your child. You could face a number of hard choices. Best wishes and sorry for your loss.

I, ME, would have the baby. To lose both your husband and his legacy (the child) almost seems ...um... I can not think of the right words. Sometimes life is about balancing ups and downs. One life gone and another to fill it.

Sorry for your loss.

Embrace the little life that is within you. It is a part of him and a part of you. If you don't feel like you can raise this child, there are many who would love to adopt him/her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hold on to all the memories. God Bless you.

It sounds to me your either worried about having another child? In my beliefs, I honestly feel this is a personal CHOICE and something you better decide sooner than later! You have to be at least 9+ weeks along! Talk to your heart! The answer and THE ONLY ANSWER is there in your heart!

I'm so sorry for your loss, I really am. I have to agree with balboaguy, but I'd also like you to know that I know this is your decision in the end. Please keep safe, and may you have peace in your heart, and all the wisdom you need, as you ponder this sad question. Even when things seem hopeless, and you have nothing but doubts and fears, please don't give up. Trust yourself. If you are religious, trust G*d. I imagine that having a baby alone must be one of the loneliest experiences possibly in any woman's life, and my heart goes out to you. Take care -- Andrew
