Hey, it's Beth! I just want to let you know why some of you aren't getting my answers to your emails.

too soon pregnancy
Hey. I am 22. I already have three children - 3 yrs, 2 yrs, and a 3-month-old. I found out that I am 2 months pregnant again. I don't know what to do. I am not happy at all. I was happy with my other children, why not this one? Adoption has been running through my head. What do you thank I should do?

Answer
Dear Michelle - I understand you're in a tough spot right now, probably confused by and maybe even a little scared of the feelings you're experiencing. Having mixed emotions about being pregnant, even if you've been pregnant before, is very normal. Maybe there are things going on in your life that weren't there with your first three. As good a mother as you are, maybe you're feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought of another baby, since you know what's ahead. I recommend you share your concerns with an experienced consultant through OptionLine. Their number is 1-800-395-4357(HELP), or you can visit www.optionline.org (IM available). They'll put you in touch with your local pregnancy help center. You'll speak with your own consultant about your situation, and she'll listen to your feelings, help you sort through them and offer real, practical assistance to help you through this. You're not alone, and you don't have to figure this out by yourself. Their number is free, 24/7, and they're ready to listen and help - give them a call! And Michelle, please feel free to email me again, anytime. As a mother of six, I know precisely what you're going through! Beth
