Hi I'd like some advice so I have 3 children one dd thats 12 years another dd thats 2 turning 3 in december and a ds thats 1 and four months and Tuesday just passed I've found out that I'm pregnant which is a shock as me and my partner use contraception, so this is where I need advice I told my partner I'm pregnant he said he doesn't want anymore and he wants me to get a abortion he said I can do want I want but If I keep it he's not sticking around I really don't know what to do or think I told him it's ok for him to say that as his body isn't going through all of this I'm already feeling sicky and tired please help

No one can make this decision other than you. If you want to continue this pregnancy, you should do. You should never let another person pressure you into an abortion or you will regret it. Just be prepared that if you do keep the baby you will likely be doing it alone. As your partner he should be supporting you during this time, not essentially emotionally blackmailing you into an abortion.

Thanks for replying I'm just so stuck on what to do I'm glad you see it the same way I do, I left it a few days and tried to speak to him yesterday about it he's still saying the same I booked in for a abortion to make him get off my case it's for next Friday now I feel pressured to make a decision before Friday if I'm being honest if I get a abortion I don't think I'll ever forgive myself I took a clear blue test it said 2-3 weeks but I did the due date calculator and that says I'm 5 weeks even though I'm early I still feel like it's a living thing with a tiny beating heart that I'd be killing if I got a abortion I really don't think I'd forgive myself

You have to do what's right for you. Don't even consider him in this decision. If he'd leave you over this then what's to stop him leaving over something else in a few months time - how would you cope with that if the only reason you'd had an abortion was so he wouldn't leave you?

I know I keep thinking where it's came from for him to be saying it as we have been together for 4 years the two youngest are his children too and I'd never expect him to be like this I think deep down I know I want to keep it as I've never thought twice about it with my others

I'd leave him for trying to force me into an abortion anyway.
Do whatever you need to do OP. What kind of a man would walk out on his family because there's another little one coming along? He's a dick.

If you stay together make him get a vasectomy. If he doesn't want any more children he should make sure he can't get anyone pregnant.

Sorry your emotions are going through this.

Your body , your choice. Yes it's both your responsibility but at the end of the day it's your decision. He can give his thoughts but that's it.

By threatening to leave you is just bullying and controlling behaviour and to be honest if you truly want to keep this baby and allow yourself be talked into a termination the chances of a relationship surviving is limited anyway.

Do you have other support around you?

3 kids under 4 will be tough but I'm sure your 12 year old will be a help.

The good thing is you have time, I'd cancel the appointment on Friday and give yourself another few weeks to weigh up your options.

Keep chatting to us and we'll support you as you need it ❤️
