Hi everyone, i found out i was pregnant about a week ago. I told my partner i wanted to keep the baby as i already had an abortion before, that baby also would have been his. I just dont feel in my heart that i could get an abortion this time, even though this was not planned i really feel i love this baby already, i keep thinking about who they will be, what they will look like, will they be a boy or a girl? He has said if i dont get an abortion he may leave me as he will resent me and the child for it all being forced on him when he is not emotionally or financially ready. I do understand his concerns, i really do. I feel sympathy for him that this has happened at a time in his life where he isn't ready but i felt that no matter what, we would support eachother and get by, i am not trying to force anything on him, im really not. I have considered his views but feel that if i go through with the abortion i will feel i only did so because i felt pressure from him, i really dont know how i will cope if he leaves me, it will break my heart as i do really love him. He told me he spoke to his Mum and she agreed with him that he had every right to leave me. I feel insulted by that but they have both kind of got in my head and made me feel that maybe i am in the wrong for almost pushing this on him? I don't know. All i know is that i dont think i can get an abortion, its like i just cant physically do it so now i know that i will most likely end up going this alone, i will most likely be a single Mum. Im only 23 and im really scared. Ive never felt more depressed than i have in the past week. What am i in for? Will i struggle too much? I want to make you all aware he is older than me, he is 28.
Thanks.
