Iv never felt so alone in my life.

Iv always wanted to have children but I have reasons why I can’t have this baby.

I just want some advice from someone I don’t know as I can’t talk to anyone about this, my partner doesn't understand and doesn’t want the baby.

No advice just want to say take care and give you a hug

Hope it all goes better than you hope (sorry, no advice just well wishes) Flowers

vampirethriller · 17/07/2019 21:18

Hi, I was in the same situation a few years ago. You can talk to me x

IrisAtwood · 17/07/2019 21:19

Be kind to yourself and know that although you feel alone, you are not. xx

joystir59 · 17/07/2019 21:19

You don't have to go through with it. You can change your mind. You don't have to do what your partner wants, if that isn't right for you

AhhhHereItGoes · 17/07/2019 21:21

Be kind to yourself.

You made the decision that is right for you - that's all that matters.

Give yourself time to relax, have a cry or a scream or whatever else you may feel you need.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 17/07/2019 21:21

Have you got a plan of how you will look after yourself over the next few days? Will your partner support you practically?

TalentedMsRipley · 17/07/2019 21:23

Do you have someone to go with you/drive you home? 🌺

Elllicam · 17/07/2019 21:24

Do you want to do it? You don’t have to.

GettickledGETTICKLEDbyspiders · 17/07/2019 21:25

Take care of yourself. Paracetamol and rest, sleep and good food. Take care emotionally too - cry if you need to and don’t beat yourself up about this Flowers

sweetkitty · 17/07/2019 21:26

Just wanted to give you a very unmumsnetty hug Flowers

WifOfBif · 17/07/2019 21:28

Just sending you a hug Flowers

I’ve had an abortion, and I was (and still am) sure it was absolutely the right thing for me. If you’re not sure, you still have time.

Be kind to yourself x

whocaresalot · 17/07/2019 21:28

No advice just Flowers I hope you’ve got someone to be with you and look after you afterwards.

Cornishmaid77 · 17/07/2019 21:32

Just be 100% sure. I regret my decision all the time but that is because I compare it to my situation now and forget what it was like then. Be prepared for a bit of a rollercoaster. Take care and be kind to yourself xx

Gruzinkerbell1 · 17/07/2019 21:36

Make sure you’ve made the decision for yourself and not for your partner. Be kind to yourself X

XingMing · 17/07/2019 21:39

I had two abortions, and have never regretted either. Wrong time, wrong partners. DS is now 20 and it was right. Look after yourself first, last and in between. Flowers It will be an emotional day but your well being is important .

Soola · 17/07/2019 21:39

If you need more time, please wait. You don’t need your partner to raise your precious baby.

Dogsaresomucheasier · 17/07/2019 21:46

((Hug)) if it’s the right choice for you it’s the right decision. Be kind to yourself, thousands of women understand.

NeverGotMyPuppy · 17/07/2019 21:49

Oh gosh no judgement here and very willing to listen.

Just remember you dont HAVE to do anything.

Ribenaberriesgowoo82 · 17/07/2019 21:54

No judgement. You need to do what's right for you, and you alone. Don't be too hard on yourself and give yourself time to grieve if necessary. I have no regrets with mine.
