Can I do this? Help

Hi everyone. I am new to this board and just looking for a bit of advice/support.

I have a daughter with my ex husband, and a son with my current partner. I am also pregnant with my 3rd child.

However, my partner has said he wants nothing to do with this child and if I chose to go ahead with the pregnancy then we will no longer be a couple.

To make matters worse our son is currently in hospital and it is unlikely he will survive much longer (he is only 9 months old).

My mind is everywhere. There is no way I could terminate this pregnancy but also dont know if I am strong enough to do all this myself. There is also the financial side of things to consider.

This pregnancy was not planned and to be honest, the way he is being at the moment I really dont feel if it would be any great loss if I was no longer with him but dont know how I will cope.

Thanks

Hi Stargirl. Don't really have any advice, but didn't want you to go unanswered. I'm so sorry about your son.

I'm no expert, but is it possible that your partner is struggling to accept the idea of a new baby in part because of what is happening with your son?

oh sweetheart((((((()))))))) i am sorry about your son
fwiw, i had a similar sort of threat from xp, he didn't want children (had been brainwashed by his xw) and said he didn't believe i was pg, then it was if it has down's i want you to abort. i have aunty with ds, how on earth coudl i face my family doing that? i think that was the beginning of the end. he now loves her to bits but, i couldn't forgive that tbh.

whereabouts in uk are you? i am in sw, if you are near me then you are welcome here anytime ((((((((((()))))))))

Hi, so sorry about your son. . If you do not want to abort your precious baby then dont do it. This is your body and your baby and no one can make that decision for you. I wouldnt worry about finances etc just now, you will be amazed at how you cope when you have to.

Hope you come to a decision soon.
