Hello all,
I am desperate to get some advice real fast. I am 35-year-old (36 in August) career women, I got married in 2016. I just found out I am pregnant, I am unsure whether to have a child or not (OH feels the same: unsure), I feel I am not ready (I know even at 35) and if ever I feel ready, I worry it might be too late or will I regret not having kids in my 50’s ? Will I regret abortion later in life?
My background, I have deep rooted issue which I haven’t got out of. I didn’t have any childhood; my parents were miserable. I have depression too, though I am currently off med. I am not even sure if I have that love in me for another human being who will be dependent on me. Not fond of kids anyway so easier to just do the obvious but I want to hear from people who went ahead and had kids.
None of my friends have babies or want kids, I don’t have a mother whom I can go talk to or know any other mums. Tried to watch some online videos/blog and its full of people who don’t want kids or regret kids. I want to talk to someone with children, someone who can tell me the reality what it would be like to have kids. Do any of you regret having children?
