Pressured into abortion

I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. The father has since went back to his partner he was on a break from at before I found out. He has been saying he wont take any responsibility for the child and deny its his, as he is scared his current partner will find out. Due to pressure and fear of being alone I ended up taking the first abortion pill mifrestone yesterday at 8 and a half weeks. Since taking this he has now said he would have came round in the end. I now feel so angry and tricked into this I'm wondering if anyone has carried on a pregnancy before taking the second pill what the risks are or if its not worth it. I'm 37 years old and I fear this could be my last chance. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Personally I think his playing games with you. He wanted a termination and you started it now all of a sudden he thinks he would of changed his mind? What and let his wife know. I don’t think so. His trying to push his guilt on you by making you to be the one who made the choice without him.

Don't let him cloud your feelings. He can't deny it's his as a DNA test would prove otherwise (if that's what you want). If the baby was born, he'd have to pay maintenance etc.

If you want this baby (accepting the fact that you'd probably be a single parent if he stayed in his relationship), speak to your Dr ASAP. I do know of people who took both tablets, it didn't work and their baby was born healthy.
I hope this works out for you, whatever YOU want.

I’m sorry but chances of survival after the first pill are slim. There was a big thread on this over on Aibu a few weeks ago, a woman had taken the first pill then regretted it but she did go on to lose the baby a few days later. The first pill works to stop progesterone so the pregnancy basically stops continuing.

I would take the second pill and cut this man out of your life. At 37 you still have a couple of years to find someone more stable and have a child. Failing that, consider going it alone using a sperm donor.

I don’t think the pg can be saved now either.

He sounds a total mind fuck anyway.
