so torn about late surgical abortions

I'm currently 15 weeks and 5 days and I've booked dozens of appointments since i found out at 7 weeks and this whole time i've not been able to come to a decision on what to do. Realistically my life will be a lot better if I do proceed and I already have a 3 yo that I can barely manage and had very bad pnd with. The father i've been with for a year and he's been on and off with what he wants too one day he says it's up to me then the next he says he wants me to abort. I've started to feel it move and I'm just scared of what I will feel after the surgery. Has anyone else been in this position? My surgery is booked for tomorrow and I've made up my mind to go but it's still so heartbreaking

Hiya op....first of all 💐 for you.

I have been there. I was 17w when I had mine. I had a child who was 2 at the time. I found out very late that I was pregnant (15w, failed contraception) I knew that I couldn't cope with another; DP knew he couldn't cope with another.

I went to the first appt with an open mind but deep down I knew, I think, it was the right decision. I had the surgical booked for just under 2 weeks later, absolutely certain it was the right decision.

Those two weeks were absolutely horrendous. Awful. I was having night terrors, intrusive thoughts, my brain was going into utter overdrive, it was honestly an awful experience.

Once I arrived for the termination and the process began it was nerve wracking, a bit scary maybe, sad; lots of different feelings. However once I came round from the anaesthetic it was like a weight had been lifted.

I felt instantly better. I had more clarity than I'd had for the previous week's and could think clearly. It was the right decision for us.

You are welcome to PM me if you like.

Whatever you decide to do is the right thing.

You need to do what is right for you and your existing child, and its ok to terminate x

hugs to you
