I’m 21 years old, been in a relationship for 2 years and l live with my mother. I haven’t had periods for almost five years but four weeks ago I got told I don’t ovulate so I would need help in conceiving a baby. Yesterday I found out that I am pregnant. In fear, my first reaction was to have a termination. I feel as though I haven’t experienced things that I know would be difficult with a child but all my life I have been excited to become a mother and I worry that I won’t be able to get pregnant again after this because of my ovulation issues. My boyfriend would preferably keep the baby but he has said he would support me regardless and thinks it’s ultimately my decision.
I currently work as a supply teacher assistant which can vary between £130-£240 a week and my boyfriend earns £350+. I know this is not a lot of money to be bringing up a child with but I do have £120,000+ in a savings from inheritance.
I am on the fence about what I think is best for me right now because I still feel like I want to be young with no worries but I also don’t want any ‘what ifs’ and regrets. What if this is my only chance? What would you do?
