To not carry on with the pregnancy

[Sal201]

I have a 6 month old DD and I have become accidentally pregnant (please don’t give me a lecture I know I was silly) I am about 5 weeks, DH has left me and I feel to protect the baby I already have I need to terminate? I feel like such a bad person

Oh my love I really feel for you. I had a abortion years ago when my marriage was in difficulties. It was the right decision. Looking after 1 baby is difficult managing 2 as a single mother might break you. Prioritise the child you already have. Ive never had any regrets about my abortion. The procedure was really straightforward and painless, the staff very compassionate and I was physically fine within hours and back to work the next day. I bled for a few weeks. I think clinics offer counselling, I'd really recommend this x

I would terminate. I have terminated. I had one DC already and raised her mainly as a single parent, and if I had terminated I would be raising two as a single parent which is definitely not what I wanted to do. However its your decision. Don't feel bad whatever decision you make, it would be the best decision for you and your DC.

Of course YANBU. Your gut is telling you that you need to protect the child you already have, and it's telling you that for a reason. There's absolutely no need/reason to put yourself through another pregnancy so soon and be balancing two small children as a solo parent after a broken marriage unless that's what you want.

You can make whichever decision is right for you.

Whichever you choose is your right and will be right for you. You are NOT a bad person in any way.
sit calmly, listen to your gut and go from there. You don’t have to justify your choice to anyone. Ever.

You're not a bad person. You're a normal person who has ended up in a very bad situation. Do what you need to do for yourself and your little girl. I hope you have supportive friends and family to help you. All the best.

Hey don't be hard on yourself, do you have a mum to talk to?
Or, you can speak to the Samaritans, they are there for you too x

So sorry OP. Obviously your feelings are a huge consideration but thinking practically can help align them or make them clearer.
living situation? Maintenance? Plan to return to work with your current baby?

Then there is no decision to make, you've made it already.

Good luck with everything

Oh, give over.

This.

There’s no right or wrong here, you have to make the best choice for you and your 6 month old.

Please be kind to yourself.
