Pregnant but don't want the baby

Chocolatteandbiscuits · 18/10/2017 17:21

I'm freaking out! Im pregnant again by my DS dad. It's complicated between us, we were giving it ago again but I don't t think we can be together. My family hate him, he's been abusive to me before. Lied and cheated. I tried again for D'S. Stupidly we had sex and i forgot to take my pill. I thought I'd be ok. Now I'm pregnant and don't want the baby. I struggled so much with my D'S and my mental health isn't great. I know I wouldn't cope. But should I tell my D'S dad I'm Pregnant? I think he would make me keep it. If I didn't tell him and just had an abortion it might be easier.

Sorry this is a bit rambled I've only just found out I'm pregnant

Sorry you are having a terrible day. I can't tell you what to do. Only you can decide.
I think you already have.
The problem is both answers are unpalatable. I just think you need to do what will be the best for you and Ds in the long term.

Thanks, I really don't think I'd be able to cope with another baby atm. My D'S is only 15 months. Is just weather I tell exP. If I tell him and do it then I think he would make my life he'll but there's a bit of me what would feel guilty not telling him and he should know. I'm just torn

Do what you want to do.

Theworldisfullofidiots · 18/10/2017 19:09

You have no obligation to tell him. It's your body.

sourpatchkid · 18/10/2017 19:18

If he's abusive don't tell him.

I can imagine this being a very difficult situation for you. I know some will disagree but if I were in your shoes I’d go ahead with termination and not tell him. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. This is your life it will impact mostly, and your DS. If you don’t feel in the position to be able to offer new baby the love, care, happiness and material things it will need then I wouldn’t do it. Think of your mental health also. Good luck with whichever route you pick Flowers

I have a newborn. The idea of a toddler and newborn at the SAME TIME seems like a nightmare. If you feel like you will struggle to cope, listen to those feelings. Your son’s father has no say over your decision. Yes it’s his child but it’s your body and you will be the primary carer of those children. You don’t need to tell him. You just need to do what is right for you.

Thank you for you advice. I have just told 1 friend in RL about this. I can't tell my family because what my DM is going through. She has enough on her plate atm.

I've booked an appointment at a clinic in so scared. I have no idea who is going to look after my DS either as he can't be there.

Could your friend help?

Chocolatteandbiscuits · 18/10/2017 20:01

I'll ask her but she's just had eye surgery so I feel a bit bad asking her and she can't drive atm too

Don't tell him.
Can your mum have him if you tell her it's an appointment he can't go to? Make up a cover story?

Chocolatteandbiscuits · 18/10/2017 20:46

My DM, DF ( my grandpa) has been diagnosed as terminally ill so I don't want to put him on her while shes so upset

Theworldisfullofidiots · 19/10/2017 19:56

how are you? Was thinking about you today. Hope ok.

Chocolatteandbiscuits · 19/10/2017 20:35

Not great if I'm honest. I'm a bit of an emotional wreck. A lot of different things are going on in my life atm and they aren't good. However I still feel it's the right thing having this termination

You do what is right for YOU OP. You don't have to tell your abusive ex 'partner' if you don't want to and even if you did, he can't make you continue with the pregnancy.
I hope you've got some objective support. Flowers. When you've dealt with this situation and the sad news about your grandad, have a look at the Freedom Programme x

Theworldisfullofidiots · 19/10/2017 20:59

I'm sorry we can't help more. Can lend morale support and an ear.

Theworldisfullofidiots · 19/10/2017 21:00

Remember a day at a time and somehow we get through it.

Chocolatteandbiscuits · 19/10/2017 22:37
