hi
so i've been seeing my partner for around 7 months, i love him so much.
2 months into our new relationship i found out i was pregnant with the coil. we together agreed that it was not the time to be having a child together and had an abortion.
now were in the same position again, i've recently found out im pregnant but this time i had the implant (i know its crazy right! my doctors said im hyper fertile).
we sat down and discussed our options where i told him that i dont think i could go through with another abortion, although i know it was the right thing to do it hurts me deeply knowing that i did it.
so this time he told me he doesnt want me to have to go though that again and we've decided to keep the baby.
However, this is where it gets messier.. i have a 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son.
How the hell do i tell them?
what do i do if theyre against it?
when should i tell them? im around 6 weeks at the moment.
how do i tell my family?

i've been done with babies for years and years now, when i told my mum about my abortion she told me i should never have more kids as im past that point now (i'm 32 by the way). so i dont think she will be very supportive...
i'm dreading the moment my ex husband finds out as he can be quite toxic at times, we've had a relatively good relationship for the past few months its like were really good friends again. but i know this will send him over the edge again.

i think im just in panic mode...

any advice please?

I'd just tell them as soon as possible and play it by ear depending on their responses, I think you are overthinking.
