i'm posting this here because i didnt want to post it in a pregnancy forum
basically i have found myself pregnant after my pill failed, im 7 weeks and i am seriously considering a termination. i was in shock at first and after the initial shock went i was ok about things but i just can't stop worrying about my health in pregnancy.
in my family there is a nasty inherited disease that can cause death and pregnancy complications roughly 1 in 7 death rate in pregnancy, its a vascular disease and there is no way of knowing if i have it until something ruptures. the disease is a 50% chance of being passed on, average age to die from it is 48 im nearly 30.
im worried sick about leaving my 3y/o ds without anyone, he is sen and would go in care if im not around, this baby's dad i we have fallen out but he knows about the pregnancy and is supportive but we don't make a good relationship but i can be a single mum that no longer worries me its these health troubles.
am i wrong to terminate a pregnancy for this reason alone?
