I am posting this here because I want you all to flame me and tell me what a fuck up I am.

Last month I suspected I was pregnant and even though I started bleeding I tested and it was + but because of the bleeding I assumed I'd miscarried. This month my period hasn't arrived so I tested again and its still +.

I have suffered with serious MH issues in the past that have put me in hosptial and there is no way me or dh can cope with another baby.

The idea of an abortion is terrifying but I don't know what else I can do.

OP - why do you feel that you deserve to be flamed? Is that what you actually want? Do you feel so bad about this that you deserve criticism?

I think it's a pretty safe bet that no-one here is going to flame you, not least because we know so little about this whole episode. The only person with all the facts - and with the 'right' to judge you is you.

If you are feeling guilty, awkward or unsure about this then these feelings should encourage you to think long and hard - both about your reasons for thinking the way you do...but also for the course of action you are considering.

For proper, non-judgemental discussion about your feelings on this, or anything else that may be on your mind, I wholeheartedly recommend you give Samaritans a call.
