Okay...so here's the situation: You and your hubby/wifey are havin your very first baby!! YEAH!!!! How exciting. You and your mate have been trying to have kids for years and it finally happens! Keep in mind that this is your only chance to have kids of your own. You're three months pregnant and you go visit the doctor for a check up. The doctor comes to you with some of the worst news you and your mate could ever hear. The doctor tells you that there is a 50% chance that you will die if you have this baby. Now granted there is the other 50% chance that you'll have tha baby and live to see him/her grow up. But the if you die, your baby could end up in various foster homes and whatnot. What would you do? Would you go ahead and give birth with the chance of you dying? Or would u just have the doctor terminate your unborn child? Keep in mind that this would be your only chance to have your own baby (flesh n blood). Adoption is always an option...but it wont be yer flesh n blood.

I've for some time now wanted to adopt some kids maybe.... so I'd save my life so I can better others....maybe that's selfish but I wouldn't want my baby to grow up without me

Hmmm...that's a very deep subject. Life is all about taking chances, so if you are adament about having a child..then I say go ahead. The odds are 50-50, so if you live then you can watch you child grow up. But if you die, which would be soooo sad, then your child would have a chance at life. Even though he or she might be shipped around to foster homes, who knows, that child could grow up to be something special. He might even find a complete cure for HIV/****. (I know that's so off subject, but ya'll know what I mean.) If you choose to terminate the pregnancy, like Nahd said, you have the oppourtunity to help out other children who need good parents. I don't know, but that sounds like a tough predicament to be in.

Why would the baby end up in foster care if you are married?? (you did say your "hubby/wifey") The husband would have the responsiblity of taking care of the child if something happened during childbirth. ANYWHO, eventhough I don't want any children, IF I were pregnant I would not terminate the pregnancy because I would rather give my life for that of a child. Unless there was a 100% chance that I would die, I would just have to go full term and see what happens cuz 50% is DEFINITELY not enough for me to **** my baby. My mother was told that she would die if she had my big brother but she just told the doctors that was a risk she was willing to take and I would do the same. In the end, momma was fine, brother was premature but still okay, and she ended up having me 7yrs later, so you can't always go on what doctors say, sometimes you have to rely on God. :wink:
