Writing on behalf of friend who does not have an account:

She has just found out she is pregnant, she is incredibly devastated as she's working so hard on her career and even told me a while back she has no intention of having children.

Her partner knows and he is over the moon... btw they were safe in the sense she was on the pill (which I know isn't 100% affective but still!)

She really wants a termination but doesn't know how to say this to her partner?

Any help so I can pass on is appreciated, thank you xx

Perhaps just starting with explaining the worry she has about having a child?
Does she not want children purely for her career of is it deeper than that and has no desire to have children ever regardless of her position in life?
Which leads on to has she thoughts about how she might feel after a termination and any regrets. And the 'right time' arguments which is (imo) void;there is never a right time for anything, it's just about how you choose to handle it
But again, root cause first. I'd be open and start with that.
Good luck to her whatever the outcome!
