• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

yea, i was raped in febuary and thot i had a misc. in may, but come to find out, i didnt. so i told her and she said, "you're 20, were raped 4 mnths ago, and this baby is by rape. u cant take care of a baby. get rid of it, so u wont have to raise a baby. it'll be over fast." i said absolutely NOT.

I LOVE my baby sooooo much. im definately keeping my baby, so abortion is not an option for me and never has been, so im excited im keeping the baby. i am 19 wks along which = 4 months. i am going for my first obgyn appt next week on monday prolly. i am praying it's a girl. i want a babygirl... :) pray that baby stays healthy and im fine too. thanks!

my friend (16 1/2) tried pressuring me into having an abortion, just cuz i was raped and this baby resulted from it. but im old enough to make my own decision for me/my baby and im keeping the baby and am gonna be a good mommy! i'm scared but everything's gonna be ok. i am personally not for abortions at all, but i dont judge anyone who's had one.

I g2g to bed cuz it's after 12am and im really tired, but u can pm me if u wanna talk to me. thanks. i'm mad i am pregnant by rape but i can't go back but God is gonna work everything out for the best for me and my baby, and i'm going to be a good mom to this baby! :) :groupray:


Have a good night and thanks for listening to my story, even tho i didn't have an abortion.

God bless you lostndown for this miracle story. You are truly a blessing to me and I know an immense inspiration for others. I admire you more than I could put into words for your bravery and for doing the right thing even in the spite of such horrible circumstances.

You are a wonderful young woman and I know that God is going to do awesome things in your life because of your love for Him and your amazing attitude.

Love, hugs, peace, and blessings to you precious sister in Christ!

Hey lostndown, you are carrying a miracle! God can make good from ANYTHING, can't He?

I just want to encourage you- one of my closest friends was in the same situation- she was raped by 3 men one night and she became pregnant.
Her little boy Daniel is now a year and a half old and is the joy of her life!

I'm so happy that you felt the baby kick! Isn't that exciting?

I'm so sorry you are having nightmares about the rape sister. I hope you have someone you can talk to about all this. It's important!

Thanks about the baby! I don't know what we're having yet- it'll be a surprise! We're due any day now!
If you ever want to talk, pm me too, ok? I'll probably be busy with the baby really soon but I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible! God bless you sister!

thanks. yea its really exciting feeling baby kick when it wants to, hehe.... i feel more movement at night when im in bed. it's cute. im excited bout being a mommy.

I've pretty much felt baby the most at night when I'm trying to go to sleep as well! It is cute, isn't it? Baby gets hiccups fairly often as well- that's even funnier. ^_^

I love the names you have picked out!

We have decided on John-Paul David for a boy and Meaghan Hazel for a girl. David and Hazel are my folks' names and I'm very excited about being able to honour them!

I'm really glad you are in a support group sister and that you have people to talk to!

God bless!:hug:

in really really admire you, i was 6 weeks preggy and i couldnt cope, my baby was created with the man i love, but becasue of my fear of children and being so young - and what would the church think ( im in a possision of leadership ) we couldnt cope with having a baby.

Your situation must have been heartbreaking, but you still seem to see the best of your situation.God will truly honour that and bless your life with your baby.

i pray protection over you, from any negative thoughts and words towards you.

XXXX
much love in christ
