Basic background: I am 8 months pregnant with a mans child that I thought I would be with forever. When he met me my mother had an extensive talk with him about the fact that I had MS and that it can be a very unreliable disease but would most likely at some point be disabiling. I am almost 30 and he is 40. My mother also told him I had never been able to conceive and had actually tried fertility drugs with my ex husband. He continued to persue a relationship with me knowing this. I was friends with this man for over 2 years prior to us dating and was there for him thru the ending of a 20 yr marriage, his home burning down, him losing his business, his teenage daughter getting pregnant, etc. 3 months after we moved in together I found out i was pregnant. I didnt believe it at first and was kind of freaked out bc I had given up hope. He was excited and made several comments about how he prayed for it to happen and that he never wanted to use protection bc he wanted to give me a child. After finding out I was pregnant I had to stop all my MS injections and depression/anxiety pills, etc that help my MS. I started getting scared and we started having problems, he didnt seem to want to listen to me, was very jelous, somewhat controlling, etc. I threatened to leave him several times, yet never did mainly because we are having a child together and my thoughts were that if it could work I needed to stay. So over the past 8 months I will admit that I have been very emotional, very needy, and bossy at times. I started having problems comprehending info and dealing with problems, so i went to see my doctor, because these issues were effecting mine and his relationship and the doctor informed me that the bundle of nerves connecting the left and right side of my brain have been severaly damaged bc of a relapse, probably right before i got pregnant. Most of my MS problems are congnitive, visual, speech, a few physical.
A few weeks ago we all had to move into my parents house bc he is rebuilding his home after a fire, and our lease elsewhere ran out and he only had a few weeks to go. My boyfriend and I got into an arguement a few days later bc his 20 yr old son jumped into one of our conversations and was very rude to me and I said something to him. When I asked my BF why he was mad at me and not his son, his response was “bc he didnt mean it like that” I asked why he always assumed I meant things rude and his response was “bc your just that type of person, rude, hateful, mean and demeaning”. There was some yelling and I asked him to leave bc I just couldn’t deal with it. So he left and we saw each other here and there and I was really hurt bc I do love him so much. We spent Christmas together then him, his kids and his mom whom were all at my parents house for the holidays decided to go to his mothers and did not invite me and made it clear I wasnt invited. That started an argument bc I was crying saying I felt excluded and he didnt understand that.
I have started having complications with my pregnancy and cannot shave my legs, take a shower by myself, etc. I am really scared and asked him to move back in, bc the baby is so close to being here and I feel like we needed to work things out if we could. He tells me he loves me but cant commit to me, then goes on about how he has no intentions of marrying me, and just made me feel like complete crap, hes blaming this on me for me asking him to leave and for me yo-yoing him as he puts in over the course of my pregnancy. I begged him to come talk to me so we could figure something out and talk, he said he didnt ahve time, then he told me that I couldn’t “rush” him into loving me and that I couldn’t “make” him commit, which i understand but that hit me the wrong way with me being 8 months prego and all, so I was like “fine you want out then come get your crap” so he shows up 10 mins later with all the time in the world. Gets his stuff, and as he was leaving I gave him back the cell phone I had of his and he grabbed my hand said he loved me, and I told him I did him to but I couldn’y “just date” a man I was having a child with, and then here comes his 20 yr old walking up all bowed out like im gonna kick his dads butt. So we didnt get to talk, my BF just told me he was doen and was throwing his hands up and that I pushed him to that point, etc. I personally cannot see that I have done anything bad enough to make him want to leave his son and me. We both had said stupid mean things, but nothing deathing cruel, we both have just done stupid things, but there has always been honesty, faithfulness, and I have always worshipped the ground he walked on. My only complaint was when he lists things important in his life, its God, my kids, my mom, my home, my dogs, you, our unborn son, and my friends and other family. When I list importance out its God, him, my son, my parents, other family members, my dog then my friends. His mom treats me bad bc he doesnt stand up for me and when he

Ive been so ill with my third pregnancy and found my depression has returned and also the anxiety attacks I suffered after the death of my sister. Its been a hard decision but I feel so ill and weak and often cant get out of bed. Is this a justifiable reason for a termination? Everyone I have spoken to thinks I am thinking for the right reasons. Also as I have been on anxiety and depressant medication, no health professionals can guarantee there wont be any harm done to the child which is another of my reasons.
So to those of you who think I have no RIGHT to abort a child. Shall I call you all up when I have a sick disabled child who cant walk or talk? Dont say I should have used contraception either as my depression and anxiety was a lot better before I got pregnant. I think those of you who are anti abortion are selfish and fear your own feelings above that of a child that could potentially be born disabled or born in the wrong circumstances!
Im sure half of you cant read properly. ADOPTION????? I am sick during pregnancy why would I consider adoption once its all over. We wanted this child in the first place and Ive searched high and low for answers to medication and NO ONE can give me any. Think about the child being brought into this world with a mother who cannot bond with it due to post natal depression????? SELFISH ALL OF YOU ANTI ABORTIONISTS. Im not doubting my decision by asking you this, I just wanted to see what opinions there were out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have many of you actually had depression and anxiety so severe that you cant get out of your room? Think of it this way, I have two lovely boys who will suffer if I continue to be ill. We wanted this child from the start but need to think of my health and how my family are suffering. Those of you who think aborting a child hurts it. Do you remember being in the womb then????? You obviously have never been in this situation and I think I am thinking of the child life, and any potential downfalls before they happen.
Ok well this is the part I chose to leave out because I didnt feel it right to mention but now I have seen such awful judging remarks I will tell all. The death of my sister was actually a murder, she was taken to a back lane and had petrol poured over her and set alight and left to die!! I have suffered since with anxiety due to this yet I am being called a “Murderer” for preventing another life from coming into this sometimes awful world. What did they get for doing this to my sister???? Not very many years thats what. So all of you anti abortionists, think about the evil in this world too before making your nasty remarks and thank you to all who stated that it is my choice.

A man’s sprem is good for a woman.

In addition to its central role in reproduction, various scientific findings indicate that semen has certain beneficial effects on human health, both proven benefits and possible benefits:

Antidepressant: One study suggested that vaginal absorption of semen could act as an antidepressant in women; the study compared two groups of women, one of which used condoms and the other did not.[4]
Cancer prevention: Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer,[5] reducing risk by “not less than 50 percent.”[6][7] This effect is attributed to its glycoprotein and selenium content, with apoptosis being induced by TGF-Beta. A related urban legend parodied these findings and claimed that performing fellatio at least three times a week reduced the risk of breast cancer.[8]

SAN ANTONIO – The father of a newborn baby who authorities say was mutilated, killed and cannibalized by his mother said Tuesday he wants to see her executed. Scott W. Buchholz told The Associated Press that Otty Sanchez, the mother of 3 1/2-week-old Scotty Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez, seemed fine in the days before the killing, even though they argued.

However, he said she told him she had been diagnosed with postpartum depression and was going to be admitted to a hospital for treatment.

I am 21, just got hired for a $7 an hour job (almost finished with vet tech college studies)… but I have this terrible urge to have a baby. Almost every girl I went to high school with has/will be a mom recently. I can’t help but be jealous, or is it hormonal? I feel this way mainly before my period starts.

I am not trying to get pregnant (*I didn’t know where else to post this*)… My gyno has said I am at a high risk for miscarriage (and in the summer I went through one, not sure if it was the antibiotics I was on, or the mess up of skipping pills while I was terribly sick and vomited everything back up — including my non-dissolved pills and water), as well as pregnancy complications.

I have to write an essay about sugar. Here’s my essay so far.
Could i have some feedback?

Sugar
Sugar is very high on the glycemic index. It’s digested quickly and provides calories but has very little nutritional value. There are different kinds of sugar and some are worse than others. Fruit sugar, fructose, is less harmful than refined sugar. People have evolved to like the taste of sugar because the sweetest fruits are often the ones that have the most nutrients.

The average BMI in North America is 27.1, which is overweight. Sugar is clinically proven to cause obesity, which causes heart attacks. Sugar can cause a variety of medical conditions including alcoholism, Multiple sclerosis and ovarian cancer. Sugar also causes skin to age faster. Too much sugar can affect your brain and make it harder for you to learn. It can also cause depression, emotional instability and epilepsy. Sugar is in almost everything we eat, even places where we don’t expect it. Sugar also causes dental carries, because the bacteria in your mouth eat it and produce acid as a by-product when they digest it.

My first pregnancy was traumatic, as I spent the whole 10 months (a week before I delivered) working for a heartless biotch who constantly stressed me out. Of course I know a good percentage women become depressed during pregnancy, and I had battled depression in my teen/high school years so I was no stranger to the symptoms. I would spend most nights crying alone in bed for no reason at all. My husband did not know why and I had no interest in telling him as most nights, I did not know either. I was detached from my mother, my husband, my friends, my life, etc. Finally after my son was born I began feeling happy until he was about 6 months. I then saw a therapist and worked closely with him and was on homeopathic remedies that worked wonders for me. I stopped taking them as I found out I was pregnant with my second child. The depression has hit me again and I find myself just going through the motions. If I don’t get out of the house during the day I feel trapped, alone, and sad. Today my son and I went to the Lake/Park and this made me feel happy for part of the day. I cleaned when I got home which kept my mind off it. I don’t have many friends and most of them are busy with work/life etc..My husband works late hours and I am usually in bed when he gets home. I spend most nights now sitting on the couch or in bed crying after I put my son to sleep. I feel worthless, (of course tired because of the pregnancy), sad, SO alone, and very anxious.

I can’t go through this with another pregnancy and I just need some advice. I know that they offer SSRI’s for pregnant women and I’ve heard they are safe. I need input from anyone who has been in this situation and prevailed or anyone who was on SSRI’s during their pregnancy and found no harmful side affects on their babies.
