I don’t want this baby.

So we have 2.5 year old and to be honest and I’m happy with just one. My husband really wants another baby but I just think our life standard would go down significantly with having one more as my job doesn’t pay that well. He just keeps saying we have to do it for our son, so he has company.
We’ve been having sex maybe once every 2 months (with protection) and I just found out yesterday I’m pregnant. I’m not sure how it is possible.
Also my dad has passed away just 8 weeks ago and my husband thinks our baby is a gift from god or from my dad as to have sex just once in 2 months with protection and still get pregnant it’s miracle.
I don’t even know how to feel about all this.
I don’t feel like being pregnant again. And I don’t want to deal with newborn stage again.
I’m thinking of terminating but feeling guilty about it.
This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. At the moment I’m swaying towards not keeping the baby - purely as of my own mental health. I struggled allot after having our son and couldn’t cope with him crying etc. I just can’t go through it again. My husband keep saying that we need to do this for our son, to give him a sibling so I feel so so guilty but I just don’t think I can do this. He thinks I will regret it later in life when our son asks us why he doesn’t have a sibling but I can only think of how I’m feeling now and I’m feeling really sad and depressed since I’ve found out.

Do what you want. Don't let all these anti only child nuts sway you. Best of luck with whatever decision you make.

Good luck to you. Better that you found out who your husband really is now than if you went through an unwanted pregnancy for him. His behaviour is disgusting.

That’s good @Nikolite !!
Is that still the Saturday appointment?

Yes, next Saturday. They will do a scan first to see how many weeks I am and then if it’s under 9 weeks and 6 days, I will get pills same day to then use at home.

Be careful if you get the pills, OP, your husband will probably throw them out if he finds them.

I was just going to say the same thing. Can you take them just before you get home?

Can you stay with a friend for a night or two OP? Please take care and be safe, sending you a handhold 💐

I hope you're okay, @Nikolite

Regarding the house, it is likely it will be sold anyway when the two of you divorce and both of you may very well be living in 2 bedroomed flats

but please tell me you meant ' we ' bought and not 'he’s bought our house '
surely the house and mortgage is in both your names ?
