i'm married and pregnant
my husband (35) & i (34) have 2 sons. we talked about trying to get pregnant in the fall or early spring. well, i just found out that we're pregnant and it's a little earlier than we planned, but i'm ecstatic. well my husband is not so ecstatic. he asked me to consider POSTPONING the pregnancy; i'm outraged. i don't judge people who have abortions, but that's not even an option for me. we're both employed with good jobs & together we earn over $100,000 (i know that's not rich, but we do ok). he fears that our quality of life will change. we are at an impasse! HELP!

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
I suggest making your husband see this choice in a whole new light. Take a picture of your two sons, and place them in front of your husband. Ask him which of their lives you should postpone. Tell him that if you can't have three children you'd rather have this baby and loose some old baggage. When he becomes outraged you can use that as leverage explaining to him that taking the life of your unborn child would be no different than putting a gun to the temple of one of your two sons. Hopefully he'll see your side of things.

Its your baby, your body, your choice
If you feel you can take care of this baby and taking it's life goes against your values, keep it. your husband will learn to love the baby. and if hes mad, tell him he should have thought about that before you guys had unprotected fun.
