Don't tell the child you are currently pregnant with, if you decide to keep it. Or at least tell the child when he/she is mature enough and mentally stable enough to handle it. My mom told me that my father wanted her to get an abortion, and she told me a few months ago. Look at me now. I have several emotional disorders and depression. Just some advice.

I personally disagree. My parents told me they concidered an abortion with me when I was very young, and I've felt really happy that they decided to have me.

I actually don't see why it would be neccessary to tell your child at ALL. It was a thought, and obviously not followed through with. There's no reason to tell your kid you though about not having them.

I agree with both of the posters above me. There's really no reason at all to tell your kid in the first place that you thought about not having him/her at all. But if you decided to have the kid, it's really kind of a compliment. Unless they're saying "I wish you'd never been born."
I, personally, was an accident. But my parents had me anyway. It sucks to think that they really hadn't meant to have me, but it's nice to know that they still wanted me enough to keep me.
I really don't see why that would cause any problems.

Well, actually I meant if one person really wants an abortion, but the partner doesn't. For an example, my father really wanted my mother to get an abortion while she was pregnant with me, but she did not want one. But they didn't end up getting one (if it wasn't obvious), because she was about 5 months pregnant at the time they found out she was pregnant. It really makes me question my father's love for me.

I don't think that really changes things. Either way, your child could take it as A. thankful that you chose to have them, or B. upset that maybe they weren't wanted.
So no matter whether it was both parents or only one who considered it, I don't think it's neccessary to tell your child.

Probably a good idea, not to tell the kid unless you're sure he or she could handle it. On the other hand, it might still do damage to the kid to know that he or she was lied to. Of course, it would help the kid to know that you chose life in the end; if you do choose life, that is.
I think it's different for every child, and it may be hard to tell which approach would be best for yours.

In 8th grade, we had to do this survey thing with our parents for Health class. Every day we got a different question, and we had to answer it and then have our parents answer it too. One of the questions was when you think abortion is right or not. I personally think this was a good idea; it would help the parent to decide whether or not to tell their kid that they were considering an abortion.

My mumsy told me the reason she nearly had an abortion with me is because my sister suffered from some neo-natal low platlet count thingy carried through the mother.

And how did you react to knowing that? I Didn't care. My mummsy and daddy would have been better off than if they had me I had it and died when they got attached.
