I found out I was pregnant a few weeks after my 30th birthday.

I found out I was pregnant a few weeks after my 30th birthday. I had 2 young daughters and I was going through an extremely bad divorce. I got pregnant with my ex-husbands best friend (let's call him Joe). I had told Joe that if I ever got pregnant from him I would be getting an abortion... those words came from a very sad, drunk me. When I actually ended up pregnant he was guilt tripping me about trying to trap him and being a bad friend if I didn't get an abortion. I assured him that I was not trying to trap him, he was not even my type. He bothered me about it daily, until I finally agreed to go through with it. It was honestly one of the hardest things I have gone through. I never ended up having a third baby, which makes me sad. It really makes me regret my decision. I saw a Medium and she said that I was pregnant with a boy. Hearing that made my heart ache so much. As the expected due date approaches (April 1st), it is always more on my mind and still makes me feel sad. I should have an almost 10 year old child. I wish I can go back to that day and change my mind.
