I'm a High Risk Pregnancy and Being Pressured to Abort

Pro-Life General

I am 35 and morbidly obese. Ive lost about 50 pounds snd am out of the "super obese" category, so im very proud of myself there. However, my body decided it was time to get pregnant. I was shocked. I was told with my age, weight and PCOS that it would be impossible. My fiance and I never used protection. I was shocked when I found out I was pregnant. I am 9 weeks along. I have been told it am high risk because i am morbidly obese, am 35 and this is my first pregnancy pregnancy. I've had a history of high blood pressure in the past, but its well controlled and I average 110/70. My best friend is pressuring me to abort. She is scaring me and telling me im going to die. I am told i have a 20 to 40% chance or high or developing preeclampsia. If I do develop preeclampsia, I have a 25% chance of it being severe. My chances of HELLP syndrome are also higher. Im absolutely terrified. I keep being told im risking my life and I should just terminate.
