Hello everyone, I’m just gonna skip right to the story as I need advice on my current situation so I’m 21 years old I have an 8 month old already and I’m full time in university doing a bachelors degree in nursing and just found out Im pregnant again. I’m just not ready to have another baby yet and I don’t know what to do, my life right now is going great. I have a great support system and me and my BF are really enjoying our baby girl and having a family together. I just feel that if I have another baby now everything will just get so hard and I’m so confused on what to do. I’m really down about this and anxious of what people would think If I tell them im pregnant again, my BF is fully supportive in what ever I decide but I don’t know if I should have an abortion or not. I don’t think I could cope having a abortion as I worry it will mess with my mental health but I’m just not ready for another baby, what should I do? :,(

First thing - don't give a damn what others would say. You matter not them. They will soon get used to it anyway.

First thing you do is a test.
Because it might be negative then problem solved.
The you fix your contraceptive situation.

Oh hang on. Your title says you might be pregnant but the OP says you are pregnant?

Which is it?

  1. Every mother of a second baby has this blind panic and is convinced that a new baby will ruin everything. Usually, things just kind of work out. They really do. You’ll cope, it’ll be fine. My first two girls have a very similar age gap and they are lovely siblings. Their small age gap has made handmedowns and uniforms super easy too!
  2. Get your DP to marry you so your financial situation is protected. Do it (yesterday).

Don't! (Unless you really want to of course) If you split up he has to pay maintenance for the kids whether you were married or not. This is not 1950.
