I found out a few days ago that I’m pregnant with my third baby and I’m so upset and confused about what to do.
I’m pro-choice but have always felt that I personally wouldn’t be able to go through a termination. The grief and guilt would haunt me all my life.
We knew we’d potentially been silly and gotten carried away in the moment, but I stupidly didnt get the morning after pill as my period had been all over the place the month before, so I wasn’t sure if I’d actually ovulated at the usual time.
I already have 2 children aged 3 and 1, and struggled massively with depression during and after both pregnancies. My partner doesn’t want a third - he is really concerned about the toll another pregnancy will take on my physical and mental health, and the financial strain it’ll put on our family. He says it’s unfair on everyone in our family to have another baby, including the grandparents who help us with childcare.
Has anyone got any advice? I know people have 3+ children all the time but I just don’t know if I’m one of those parents or if I would be ruining all of our lives by bringing another baby into the world 😔 x
