Please feel free to skip if you're struggling to conceive as I don't want to upset anyone.
I've just found out I'm pregnant but I'm so confused as to how I am as I've been on the depo injection since giving birth to my son I haven't missed an injection and I waited longer than advised before having unprotected sex the only thing I can think of is that I'm the 1% it's not effective for? My son is only 4 months old so obviously he requires pretty much all my attention as my partner works full time and I'm supposed to be going back to work in October. I'm terrified to tell my partner as me and him both are not ready and did not want another baby anytime soon we had discussed maybe having another child but not for 2 years or so and I'm so scared at how he will feel about this. I'm so conflicted as I'm not ready for another baby at all as I had a horrible birth and my body hasn't even had time to recover from my first pregnancy yet. I don't know how I would handle two children both so young but on the other hand how could I justify keeping my son but not his sibling I don't know if I could live with the guilt of not keep the baby but then I feel guilty that I would be taking the attention away from my son when he's still so young, our living situation isn't great either as we don't have our own place yet so then is it fair to bring another baby into the world if we're not ready for them? I'm so upset that this has happened as I know babies are a blessing but I did not want this and thought I had taken the proper precautions to avoid it I'm so confused as to what to do. I feel as if I must be quite far I have no clue how far along I actually am as I haven't had a period since having my son but I did a clear blue digital and it came up with 3+ weeks so I feel I can't be early pregnant
