Advice needed

[iloveusernames1]

Hi Everyone,
I have found out that I am in very early stages of pregnancy. My partner and I have been together over 8 years and were thinking of having children maybe the end of next year.
We have got lots planned this year is that a reason to terminate? Is there ever a right time to have a baby? Any advice would be helpful from people who have been in the same situation. I am just not 100 percent sure on what to do and I think talking to other may help
Thank you everyone

Ultimately it is a personal decision and only you can decide what is best. But in case it is any help to hear from people in similar situations...
From my perspective, we had been together just over 6 years when we found out. Certainly wanted children but definitely not yet and we have a lot on our plate at once now. However I don't think there will ever be a "perfect" time... career wise, house wise, travel wise there will always be something you could wait for. And I just thought what if we miss our chance and this doesn't happen so easily again.
I'm still completely terrified and still unconvinced on timing. But I'm excited and ultimately very happy my husband and I are lucky enough to get to expand our family. And the further I get - scans, first movement, growing a bump - the more connected I feel to baby and the more sure I feel that we made the right decision.

No termination is wrong if it’s what the women wants. For me it would depend on what exactly is happening this year chemo treatment of partner then yes, a nice holiday then that would be a no for me. I personally wouldn’t terminate if I was planning on getting pregnant in less than a years time anyway. But it’s completely your choice.

I personally wouldn't terminate only based on timing - there is never a right time, where everything is perfect.. You might experience infertility or MCs and may struggle to conceive again - if you terminate now would you be able to cope with possibly not being able to get pg again?

Mine was planned so I can't speak from experience but I couldn't terminate for any reason due to how much I want children.

I wouldn't terminate for the sake of a year. But then again it took me over two years of ttc and ivf to have a baby... but this is not my decision to make. Please do bear in mind the vast majority of women can't plan exactly when they get pregnant - nature often has other ideas!

About 25% will conceive on their first cycle of ttc. 50% by about 6 months. 80% within a year and 90% within two years.
