Hello
I just found out i'm pregnant and i'm struggling to deal with it. My partner and i were definitely NOT trying for a baby, i took my contraceptive pill religiously but 3 positive tests later i feel completely bamboozled.
I'm 24 and and my partner is 30, we've been together around 14 months but we still live separately and had no plans to start a family just yet. We're very happy and always spoke about having kids in the future but it just feels too soon. We earn around 42k a year between us but i have no idea if thats enough to support a home & a child! Am i too young? Will my partner resent me for our lives changing in such a huge way? Eek!
He was incredibly supportive and lovely when we did the tests last night and we spoke through our options really calmly but i just don't know what i want. I feel completely numb and confused at the moment.
Most of all i feel selfish for even considering termination but i don't know if me or my partner are ready for a child at all. I have friends that are struggling to conceive and i feel so awful that its happened to me and not them.
I think i just need someone to tell me everything's going to be ok!
Xx
