hello I have no friends and just feel like I need advice or something! I have 3 children 11,8,1 and just found out I’m 8 weeks pregnant, I didn’t want another baby, partner says abortion or he will leave me and the children. I’ve got the pills to take but i just don’t know if I can do it, but also don’t know if I can handle 4 children. We are currently in a 2 bed house, we both have 5 seater cars and saving to buy our own home, 18 month old is hard work and still not sleeping through the night we’ve tried everything and anything! Any advice?

@Lauren32xxx i hope your okay hun and sending you a big hug. Some of the comments on this thread have been very cruel. You are a woman and a mother with a life inside your body. Lead with your heart . The road ahead after a termination is horrific for some and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy . You know deep down what is right for you . Sending you so much love and empathy you will be in my prayers tonight 🩷

Some people who respond to posts like these will always say keep the baby, you'll never recover from having an abortion. I think generally they're anti-choice and don't want you to recover from an abortion, they want you to persude you through guilt and fear.

Only you can decide, but please don't let these anti-choice voices push you to continue the pregnancy through guilt - your body, your choice, having an abortion doesn't lead to a life of misery unless you let people like these inside your head.
