I already have 3 wonderful kids (13, 11 and 3) and had been single for a year when I met a lovely man. First night together I forgot my pill (but took it the next day x 3). I am 41 (and a half) and it was the wrong time of the months so I never thought any more of it. Just found out I am pregnant.
I booked into a clinic straightaway, knowing that as I am in a brand new relationship that may not even last another month, I am self employed and my little business is only just starting to thrive, and just feeling like I am too old for another one (and I hate being pregnant!), it was an easy choice. They could not see anything on the scan as it was too early (just coming up to 5 weeks) and waiting for the second appointment I am suddenly starting to waiver.
I am a really strong person, I know I could cope alone if I had to, my other kids are very supportive and I have wonderful friends around me. I have no idea what the "father" thinks, it is odd even thinking of him in that capacity, all my other kids had been planned and I don't know anyone who has had a baby with someone they did not know. I do know that my relationships with my exes (two of them) has been very tricky at times and I am loathe to bring another fatherless kid into the world BUT I look at my beautiful boys and think maybe I would love to meet another person I have grown inside me.
I veer between knowing I can do this and almost looking forwards to the new venture and knowing I am being hormonal and romantic and just because I am pregnant it does not mean I have to stay pregnant.
Any advice?
PS I keep waking at 4am! But I overall feel calm and positive.
