If i could either find a great but cheap babysitter, i'd probably keep it....

<snip>I know the easiest way out is to abort but is that the best??
If it is "just" a matter of assistance in looking after the baby, then please look into your options, daycare, sitters, whatever, and what leave you may be entitled to in your work, and what flexibility might be available to you. The options are rarely black and white. And given that it's the idea of having to go it on your own that's causing most of your concern, I really worry that you might regret an abortion and that it wouldn't be the easiest way out for you at all. I'm not anti abortion by any means but it can have consequences emotionally particularly if you feel like you had little choice.

It might be a good idea to sit down with someone you trust and really hash out a good list of options. If you feel you have options and can choose from them, you are more likely to feel at ease with whatever decision you finally make.
