Pregnant with third child and don't know what to do

[nostinaustin]

Sorry if I haven't written this in the right place I'm a bit all over everywhere at the minute. Just need some advice on third children as I'm in a panic.

I'm in my early twenties and currently have two very happy and healthy children aged four and two from a previous relationship. I've been in a new relationship for the past year and a half and am very happy. I just bought a house and got a great new job and everything seems to have fallen into place. However. I've just found out I'm pregnant. From my calculations around four weeks. My partner says if I want a termination it's entirely up to me. He's fifty fifty about if we should terminate or not simply because money is a little tight.

I know that the best thing to do would be a termination but in my heart I want this baby so badly. How much more difficult is a third child. Would I be making a mistake keeping it. Advice greatly appreciated thanks

It all comes down to your personal circumstances. Take a careful look at your job, lifestyle, stresses, children and finances. What would life look like with a new baby? If it is a life you want right now - then great! Congratulations! If not, then remember that termination isn’t a “never” to expanding your family. It’s a “not right now.” Whatever you decide, good luck and I wish you the best

No one has the right to tell you what to do but, in your position, many girls would want to carry on being happy as they are. You have a lot going for you at the moment and are still very young with plenty of time to start another family.

I was/am in this position. I have a 3 and a half yr old with autism and a 16month old and now 14 weeks pregnant, i seriously debated a termination because money is tight and my 3yr old needs a lot of attention but i knew in my heart i couldnt go through with the termination so somehow we will find a way to cope. Do what you feel is right in your heart x

I am also 24 so early 20s like you x
