I was on heavy medications and living a very unhealthy live when I conceived…what should I do?

I was taking a powerful mood-stabalizing medication, drinking several cans of mountain dew and coffee daily, eating very unhealthily, and living a life of stress when I conceived…almost three weeks ago. I’m worried out of my mind- this pregnancy is unplanned, and my body was not prepared nor healthy in any way. What should I do? What are my chances of a healthy baby? If it were necessary to have an abortion in this early stage, would if affect my health and chances of pregnancy someday when I’m healthy and able?

    There is absolutely no reason for you to murder your unborn baby!But I also think that there is no reason or nobody should have the right to kill an innocent human being either.After this precious baby is born,get on birth control if your not ready for a baby.Also,there is such a thing called adoption.Someone that deserves a baby would love to have him or her.And I could care less about the thumbs down.If you think its ok to kill a innocent child,maybe you should have been "aborted"!!

    You need to consult a gynecologist who can help guide you toward the right decision. (And one who is not affiliated with any interest group that would pressure you one way or the other.)

    Unfortunately, no one can give you the right decision. But a doctor who becomes familiar with your unique situation can help you much more than people over the internet. She or he can inform the ultimate decision that is yours. I can tell you though, that women who have abortions have gone on to late conceive happy, healthy babies.

    please don’t have an abortion. You know A LOT of women get pregnant while living a "crazy" lifestyle and find out later…myself included! When I got pregnant with my son I was a party girl…and didn’t know I was pregnant! But you know once I found out I started my prenatals, healthy eating, and cut back on the caffiene. He was a healthy and LARGE baby (10 pounds!!). DON’T WORRY…your baby will be fine!!! Just cut back on the Mt Dew, eat a bit healthier, and stop stressing…you’ll be a greeat mom!!

    dont worry you should be fine. Go see a doctor about the medication but you should be ok.. All you can do is focus on being heathly now. abortions always have risks. i think your chances of a healthy baby are good.
