I know this is a sore subject, just could really do with some help and advice - please don’t judge me.

Back in February I was taken into hospital with a miscarriage I lost a lot of blood my womb was open for 2 days then it seemed to calm down and I was ok to go home, they hospital wouldn’t scan me and said it wasn’t needed, so 10 days later I went and had my injection,

About four weeks ago I had a positive pregnancy test I went to the doctor and he told me I couldn’t be pregnant I’m on in the injection to come back next week, I called BPAS and they got me in for a scan only to be told that I was 11 weeks gone and hadn’t lost the baby. Due to me having a seizure in the last year they couldn’t do anything there had to be done at a hospital.

I went last week and was told to come back Thursday as I’m worried about what decision I’m making and to book in for Friday for a surgical abortion if that’s what I wanted too do, I couldn’t get any childcare at all for Thursday so I couldn’t go in, I rang the hospital had nothing back :(

I’m just confused about what to do im 24 I have four beautiful healthy children, my eldest is 8 and my youngest is only 14 months and he’s very much a mummy’s boy I don’t want to upset him he’s also not too well with chest problems so we have been in and out of hospital. I don’t really want another baby things aren’t very settled at the moment but I feel awful as I’m 15 weeks and 3 days gone so will be at least 16 weeks by the time I get back into the hospital, I feel it’s a baby and really don’t know what to do 🙁

I feel desperately sorry for you, what a horrible position to be in.

I cannot believe the hospital did not scan you after your miscarriage to check whether it was compete! This is not your fault.

You still can have an abortion at this stage, even though it’s a late one. BPAS offer good, sympathetic counsellers before and after you make a decision.
Talk to one, it may help you decide.

Even though you may be 16 weeks, you are not even half way through your pregnancy yet, it’s still early days.

Only you can make a decision about this, you know your life and family best. You sound like you have a lot to manage - give yourself some space to think clearly if you can.
