Name-changed for this. I found out I was pregnant yesterday and by dates I’m only 4 weeks.
This is a very much unplanned pregnancy following one accident. I’m 31. DH and I have been together 11 years with 2 DC (5 & 3). We both have good jobs and a 4 bed house (so enough physical room) we are financially comfortable for the first time since I had my first DC.
I love my life now the kids are a bit older and we do lots as a family but also as a couple. We’re doing our house up after years of renting. We’re planning our first big holiday abroad together as we can now afford it and life just generally is great. We are so content with two.
So this news has really rocked me. Part of me thinks I don’t want to give up what I have now as I’m loving life after quite a few hard years. The other half of me is worried that I’ll regret not continuing with the pregnancy and I do see myself surrounded by children and grandchildren when I’m older.
My DH is supportive of whatever decision I make and I know he will be there no matter what but my head is all over the place with this.
I’d like to hear experiences from people either way, whether third pregnancies continued or whether you terminated. My head says no way but a tiny part of my heart says how can I even be considering not having this baby?
Feeling so confused!
