I've name changed (I hope it's worked)
I really need some help and advice. I've just found out I'm pregnant. I've only had one period since the last baby. And was going to be sterilized.
I haven't even told my partner yet because I know it's going to go down like a sack of shit.
My body doesn't handle pregnancy well. I'm going to have to have an abortion aren't I... bloody hell what a mess.
No idea if this is in the right place to post this.

Hi OP. I'm sorry but can't offer any advice. Just wanted to offer a handhold until someone more knowledgeable comes along. Thanks

Hi. I don't have advice but am in a similar position. I have a 5 month old who I had a traumatic labour leading to an emergency C-section, and have found myself pregnant again. I'm not sure whether I should continue the pregnancy or not. I want to, but I'm struggling with ptsd and pp anxiety, plus financially we are REALLY not in a good place.
I think you should talk to your Husband, you need to support each other through this time. I'm not sure what to say, there are helplines for people to call for counselling about unplanned pregnancies. Venting to an impartial person may help.

Hi OP. Talk to your OH, you don't need to be alone in this. If it's going to go down 'like a sack of shit' then that is really concerning and not a worry you should have, it takes two to tango after all.
Discuss your options with him and then if you need to go to the GP together, you can.

I probably should have been more clear, it's not that he would be horrible about the situation. He hasn't, I've now told him. It's more I knew what his views would be, and understandably so.
Our baby was premature, and really not something we want to face again, especially so soon. All logic just points to one answer but it's a horrible decision when it comes down to it.

I’m sorry you’re in this position OP. You must do what is right for you. There is no shame at all in putting your own health (mental or physical) ahead of an unplanned embryo.
