Angel,
Sorry to learn that you are in a troubling situation and are faced with making decisions you weren't expecting to be faced with.

1st, a very close friend of mine is an RN and she has told me that you really shouldn't worry about damage having been done to the baby. It is unlikely that the alcohol had any effect on the baby.

2nd, this same freind of mine witnessed abortions as an RN and has know become strongly Pro-life based on her experiences. She has seen the humanity of the unborn, even int he 1st trimester and she has seen that abortion is an act of violence that ends the life of a tiny human being. She has also seen the devastating physical and emotional effects abortion has on women. Please REALLY educate yourself about fetal development and abortion.

As an adoptive mother and as a biological mother of 2 children, I encourage you to give birth and either raise or place your baby. Having been pregnant twice, I know that your body is already telling you that you are pregnant and is preparring a safe place for the baby to grow. Only you can protect your son or daughter, just as only your birth mom could protect you. Yes, it is VERY scary right now with lots of unknowns, but what you can know is that you are pregnant with an innocent human being who is dependant upon you for his or her safety. You can know that once you decide to give birth, you will find the strength to do what needs to be done to either parent or place for adoption. You will feel a love for the baby like nothing you can imagine. Don't you even now feel the baby living inside you? Wait till he or she moves! Oh my gosh! AMAZING!!! And even though it won't be easy, once you see and hold your son or daughter you will thank God that you didn't choose abortion! I have known women who have aborted and wish with all that is in them that they had faced their fears and gave life totheir children. They regretted it IMMEDIATELY.

Our daughter's birth mother was raped and impregnanted at 13. SHe was in 8th grade. She almost aborted the baby twice...once at 20 wks and once at 21 1/2 wks. She was told lies by the clinic. Told that at 20 wks the baby isn't formed yet! Told she would die if she disn't abort (she never had a moments problem during the pregnancy and delivery etc), she was told no one would want a bi-racial rapist's baby! LIES!!! They didn't tell her about fetal development, her risks, options, or even what type of abortion they would be doing. They didn't even put her to sleep or dilate her before hand for the 2nd trimester, 20-30 minute long D & E abortion they were performing. She stood up for herslf and the baby at the last moment and chose life! She finished up the school year, delivered and placed her daughter with us, and started high school. If she could find the strength at 13, then I know you have the strength to choose life for your baby too!!!!

Blessings to you and if I can be of any help to you during this time, PLEASE contact me!!! I can help you find resources in your area to address your needs and I can offer friendship. We can talk about pregnancy stuff if you want!

Take care!!!
