[quote=Anonymous]Yikes OP!! What a way to start off the New Year. I am sorry this has happened to you, plus what are the odds, right??!

Honestly, if it was me, I would seek to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. I do not know how you feel about abortion so I cannot advise you on this as it is a very personal choice as well as controversial.

I would do it only because at your age the chances of carrying this baby to full-term and having it born healthy, free of genetic disorders and at a healthy weight are at low odds. Plus, I would worry about Down Syndrome as well. Also, I wouldn't want to possibly be a single mother to two young children in my middle age.

However, that is my choice, but if you are opposed to abortion then you may want to consider adoption or if you have a good support system you may even consider raising the child as a single mother. There will be many unique challenges at your age, but if you are really strong-willed and determined to keep this child, then nothing will stand in your way.

This is a very important decision either way. Do not make it for anyone but YOURSELF. Do not let anyone's political or religious views influence you either way. This is your life and you will have to live with your choices ultimately.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you only the best.

Good luck to both you and your five yr. old child. [/quote]
