Hi all - please no judgement here. I have two children (aged 7 and 5). Me and their dad divorced and have been separated for 2 years now.
I had a bit of a fling a month or so ago and have now found out I am pregnant. It’s hard to say this was unexpected as, we did not use protection so I can’t exactly say that it was totally a “surprise”.
I have told 2 close friends who are supportive, although I think they deep down expect that I will terminate. I also saw my doctor today and she has referred me for a termination but said I have a week to gather my thoughts etc (I expect I am around 6 weeks at the moment).
The issue I have is, although it was a one night stand, I’m finding it very difficult to let go. I understand the hardship of having children and I am used to the “being alone” element as I have my 2 children 50/50 with their dad.
I would hate to be judged by keeping the child, and I know it’s ultimately me who has to decide but I just feel like my head is all over the place at the moment. I have a professional full time job also.
does anyone have advice or experienced similar? Would be good to hear others opinions sights.
thank you x
