I have made an important decision about two years ago. The decision was to have the second baby. My second baby was an accident and was not in my plan. When I found out that I was pregnant, i was so surprised and anxious and not ready to give birth to the baby. It’s not an easy thing to raise a baby, especially in SH. You have to take a lot of responsibilities and you have to take a lot of economic and financial pressure on the second baby. However I changed my mind when I went to the hospital to take the check. The doctor told me that the baby was very healthy and “do you still want to keep the baby?” At that time, I feel that the baby is not like an object, it’s a human. It’s not her fault to come to this world. So I feel that I should protect the baby, I should protect her life, so I changed my mind.

Until now, I didn’t regret about this decision, because I feel a lot of pleasure when with my second baby. She’s very cute and very smart, even smarter than her sister. She can react very quickly, she has very good memory, she will be quite good at her academic studies. Even though I still feel the pressure of raising the baby, I think I together with my husband, we can work harder, and make more money for the family, and give the sisters more support in the future.

Revised

I have made an important decision about two years ago. The decision was to have the second baby. My second baby was not planned. When I found out that I was pregnant, i was so surprised and anxious, I wasn’t ready to give birth to another baby. It’s not an easy thing to raise a baby, especially in SH. You have to take a lot of responsibilities and you have to take on/handle the financial pressure for the second baby. However I changed my mind when I went to the hospital for the check-up/ for the ultrasound. The doctor told me that the baby was very healthy and asked me “do you still want the abortion?” At that time, I realize that the baby is not like an object, it’s a human. It’s not her fault to come to this world. So I feel that I should protect the baby, I should protect her life, so I changed my mind.

Until now, I don’t regret on the decision, because I am very happy with my second baby. She’s very cute and very smart, even smarter than her sister. She can react very quickly, she has very good memory, she will be quite good at her academic studies/ academically/ have a good academic performance. Even though I still feel the pressure of raising the baby, I think I, along with my husband, we can work harder, and make more money for the family, giving the sisters more support/a better life quality in the future.
