What If We Don’t Want Another Child?
This post is inspired by a follow-up question from Michelle, who terminated a pregnancy last month because the timing wasn’t right for bringing another child into her family, but Michelle was having difficulty finding peace with this decision.
In our post to answer Michelle’s original question (Some Clarification on a Recent Abortion), The Council advised Michelle and her partner based on Michelle’s desire to possibly have this child when the timing is right. Now Michelle is asking what can be done of she and her partner decide not to have another child. She wants to know how she can release this spirit who is waiting to return to her in a future pregnancy. if there is one, and doesn’t want to “mess up” a plan that was made if she chooses not to get pregnant again.
The Council says there’s an understanding that if there’s a change of heart and another child isn’t desired, this is fine. They advise Michelle to send love to the soul who was on standby and let it know that at this point in your life what you had planned has taken a turn and it’s not necessary for it to come into her lifetime.
The soul will wait until Michelle definitely decides she doesn’t want another child. If she’s unsure, the soul will wait to see if it will be needed to fulfill the original agreement.
Listen to our full 4-minute session with The Council to receive all their guidance for Michelle and the rest of us, and let us know what you think.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

I guess bob and Cynthia and the council I just want to understand how to bring peace into this situation. My husband and I were finally to a good place in our marriage and this surprise pregnancy kind of threw it all in the air again. We are not seeing eye to eye and I have been struggling emotionally to cope with the termination of the pregnancy. I would like some spiritual guidance from the guides so I can connect to something much greater than all of this.

I’m sorry I wasn’t more clear. My husband is really adamant about not having any more children and I can say that I semi agree and I think I just want a baby now to try and fill the void that I am feeling after my abortion. The days sometimes are bright, and sometimes they are dark. I read stories of other women and I am scared that I will not be able to connect to God now because of this situation that I have put myself in. I know that I did the right thing for my family but I feel alone and scared. The council says that I need to change my thoughts, and I am just having a hard time. I wake up in the middle of the night wondering if I did something wrong and I can’t seem to fall back asleep. I need to change my thoughts but sometimes it has been very hard to adjust. This group has been a relief.

Hi, Michelle. We’d love to be able to help you be happy and sleep comfortably, but we don’t understand the part of your comment where you say, through changing my own thoughts what does The Council recommend? Is this in relation to birth control or independent of birth control? Can you be more specific in your question? Thanks, Bob & Cynthia

Michelle here again,
I have talked with my husband a lot and we have decided to not have any more children and are looking towards permanent methods of birth control. Through changing my own thoughts what does the council recommend? I would love this to be an opportunity to connect with god/source but feel isolated alone and afraid. Unable to sleep or be happy. I don’t want this forever.
