Hi all,
I have a consultation appointment coming up to discuss having a surgical abortion, i was so sure in my decision and yet today i am doubting myself.
I am 6 weeks pregnant, unplanned. I live with my partner and we hadnt discussed having a family in the near future so it came as quite a shock. It would be a struggle financially to continue and neither of us are ready, but now i find myself thinking are these good enough reasons? I would like a family in the future when we are more secure (living situation/jobs) but i am early 30s and now thinking that waiting may not be a luxury i have, given my age. I don't think i would cope emotionally if we went ahead with a termination and then struggled to concieve in the future. Also i feel guilty thinking like this as i feel like i am picking a future child over this one even though i don't think we could give enough to a child at this time.
I am struggling making a decision and feel pressured by time as feel like i could cope better with a termination the earlier it is done, rather than waiting another couple of weeks and the pregnancy being further on. Can anybody identify, thanks
