As a parent of three...and pregnant with #4...I can tell you that no one, let alone a child, should be making life altering decisions alone during the first trimester of a pregnancy. It's like a bad case of PMS on steroids.

I'm in in my 30's, in a stable marriage, with great friends, and adorable kids...a great support system. I still would NEVER make a life altering decision during my 1st trimester...or at any time during a pregnancy. Because, I know...from experience, and the way my husband cowers in fear before me, that I am insane during that initial surge of hormones. There's no calm, logical thinking. These are children we're talking about, who already have enough hormones surging, and who should NOT be making these kinds of decisions alone. They need a support system...and that should be their parents. Whatever the decision in the end...they shouldn't go through it alone.
