[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH really wanted kids and we got pregnant earlier than expected, literally honeymoon baby.  I was gunning for a big promotion at work and the timing would very possibly have killed my career, so I wanted to end the pregnancy.  He wanted the baby but was supportive.

We are now expecting #2 and the topic has honestly never come up.  Neither of us resents it, although we are a few years older as parents than we would have been.  I think now that we are happy with children it was the right decision and we are so happy there would be no value on dwelling on that time.  I suppose had things not worked out (secondary infertility) it might have been harder but that is not the case for you.

I wouldn't dredge up the issue unless you think there is something to discuss.  Timing your reproduction is a major part of modern life and is largely a good thing for familiies (in my opinion and it appears in yours too).  Life isn't perfect but this is really not a problem in the scheme of things.  Save your  worries for your current pregnancy and hopefully, future child.

Sorry, to be clear, we now have one child (2) and are expecting #2 shortly.  We've been married 7 years or so.[/quote]

So you aborted your first child for a job promotion?[/quote]

She did it for a promotion.

Holy shit, I knew that this area was full of selfish and self absorbed people but this is INSANE.

I can only imagine what crap parents you all make -- oh, let's find a nanny to raise our children and make sure there are plenty of sitters for the weekend and when I need to do my girl's weekends every month to get away from the hour or so a day I spend with my adorable children.

No. She did it so her future children could have better lives, supported by her career.[/quote][/quote]
