I hope this is the right place to post this.
I just can't work out what to do. I have found out I'm pregnant, by accident, at the age of 40. I have two DC already and hadn't ruled out the idea of three, but have been shocked by my reaction. I'm not sure I can cope with three. We have moved house recently and the house needs a lot of work and is getting me down. I was planning on a career change and was about to start working it out and getting back to work, when this happened.
I am panicked by my age; health wise and in terms of if I have another baby am I ruling out any chance of a career.
I also can't work out if my fear of not coping is tied up with the current situation, ie the house and being a SAHM which perhaps doesn't suit me very well.
Also we don't have much money at the moment.
My head tells me to terminate for all the reasons above, but I am scared I will regret it and it's now or never really, so I am closing the door on any more children for good.
I have been for one session with the counsellor at the hospital and they booked a termination for me, but I am still undecided. They told me to take my time. How does a person make this decision? It's so hard to know how you will feel isn't it? Does anyone have any advice? Much appreciated....x
