so i have put my self in the most horrible position in the world and my head is very much messed up at the miniute with it!
i have found out i am pregnant again whch will be my 5th child.
my youngest is 2 and has severe autism i love all my babies with everything i have but financialy not in the best place to bring a baby into the world but also dont see money being a good enough reason to terminate my pregnancy but im scared stiff i wont be able to cope with the stress.
just the thought of doing it messes my head up but dont think i can physically handle another baby right now

Noone can tell you whether to have an abortion or not, this is totally your choice...

Do you feel you currently have enough support to give to your current children? Do you have support for yourself?

Oh OP poor you that sounds really hard. Could your GP refer you to someone who can talk through your options with no judgment either way?

That’s a really tough decision and I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Think of it this way- rather than money being the issue, do you think you have the time and energy to give to another child? or would it be better focused on the four you have? Would you be stretching yourself too far and unable to give your all to the children you have?

All the best OP 💐

Maybe you could try and talk to someone , there’s helplines and stuff with trained counselors would they be any help?
It’s your choice, do what is right for you, take a deep breath and look at it from all angles first.
