What would you do please if you found out you were pregnant with a third child and your partner wanted to go ahead but you didn't?

Having been in the situation recently (albeit with a supportive partner who put absolutely no pressure on me), I did and would end it. It's more important that a child is 'wanted' by its mother who realistically be providing the majority of care, in my opinion.

Thanks @AllOfThemWitches. I feel so stressed and conflicted about it and guilty for feeling the way I do. I really can't tell you why I don't want it except I think I just find motherhood amazing but so intense and exhausting.
Can I ask how you found the termination process? Have you had any regrets or suffered with guilt? That is a fear of mine.

The termination process was hardly fun and I did feel sad but I was so sure of my decision that I knew the alternative would have a much more negative impact, not only on me but my kids and any new 'addition' to our lives. I was able to think of the pregnancy differently than I did when I was pregnant with my children. I would be lying if I said I felt no guilt whatsoever, especially when I read about women who desperately want babies but I have no regrets. It simply wouldn't have been fair.

I wish you all the best ❤️
