I have recently found out I am pregnant, unplanned but DP knew we wasn't taking any contraception and happily had sex with me daily. I'd have this baby but he is desperate not too. Realistically, the best thing to do is to terminate but the circumstances we are facing aren't reasons to terminate in my opinion. I am really sorry if this offends anyone, i'm just desperate for advice and absolutely terrified.

If you've read my thread in Pregnancy Choices, you'll have read I had an awful doctors appointment and have been struggling to get advice anywhere. It still hasn't sunk in properly, I don't feel ready to be making such huge decisions that can potentially leave me with everlasting guilt.

DP has now booked me in for an abortion consultation on my behalf (I've never asked him too). He will be pretty much escorting me to my appointments, which I feel obliged to say that I want an abortion.

Is this even allowed? How can another person, make GP/Clinic appointments on behalf of another? What do I do Sad

I read most of the thread hoping you'd get away and have the room to make you're own choices then saw how long ago it was! Congrats on just everything op, the simple fact you didn't bring up that person you left behind in your latest update says so much. All the best for everything!

Lovely update OP Smile

As a new mother, i am sure that you realize now Dear Glow, that your mother and father feel honored when you ask for help. We know that dc need independence but children are always our babies. I will never stop willingly when it comes to helping dc. Best wishes and do NOT go back. My dm did and my life was awful. Make a new and lovely life for yourself. Thank you for your strength and love

Just think of it this way, in a few days/weeks/months or years, you might not be with this man and you will have aborted a baby that you’re obviously getting attached to, Just because you’re too scared to stand up for yourself. Guilt will never leave you. If you do decide to abort the baby because that’s what you want to do then that’s fine but just realise that you must have wanted one in the first place as you weren’t taking contraception. If you keep the baby and he leaves and you’re on your own at first it will seem daunting but when you feel the baby kick it will melt your heart, and when you see your little baby you will not regret it and you will fall in love completely! Don’t be forced into anything you don’t want to do x
