Kourtney Kardashian considered aborting her unplanned pregnancy before she reconciled with ex-fiance Scott Disick. The 30-year-old socialite revealed her shock news last Wednesday (12Aug09) and followed it up by confirming she had reunited with her 26-year-old former partner after learning she was carrying his child.Kardashian - who spilt from Disick in November (09) after two years of dating - recently confessed she had conceived with her former beau after forgetting to take a contraceptive pill, and has blamed the pregnancy on her stupidity and bad memory.However, when the star found out she was expecting she was faced with a life-changing decision - and considered booking herself in for a termination.She tells People.com, I definitely thought about it long and hard, about if I wanted to keep the baby or not, and I wasn't thinking about adoption. I do think every woman should have the right to do what they want, but I don't think it's talked through enough. I can't even tell you how many people just say, 'Oh, get an abortion.' Like it's not a big deal.I looked online, and I was sitting on bed hysterically crying, reading these stories of people who felt so guilty from having an abortion. I was reading these things of how many people are traumatised by it afterwards. I was just sitting there crying, thinking, 'I can't do that.However, Kardashian is now confident she's made the right decision to have the child, and the couple is looking forward to starting a family.She adds, For me, all the reasons why I wouldn't keep the baby were so selfish: It wasn't like I was raped, it's not like I'm 16. I'm 30 years old, I make my own money, I support myself, I can afford to have a baby. And I am with someone who I love, and have been with for a long time... My doctor told me there is nothing you will ever regret about having the baby, but he was like, 'You may regret not having the baby.' And I was like: That is so true. And it just hit me. I got so excited, and when I told Scott he was so excited. But I think if I had said I'm not going to keep it, I really think he would have pushed me into keeping it.
