Hey ladies. I don't know if this is the right thing to do. But I just found out I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do about it.

I have 2 lil girls already. One is 3 and the other is 8 months old.
I have the Mirena fitted and of course the option was to not have children at the min as you all know 2 is a handful.
But I've just found out I'm pregnant and I'm really struggling to accept or see an outcome that I can cope with.
I went post natal with my 8 month old and I'm currently on w good mental state. But this has thrown me completely.
Just feel so lost and confused and feel pressure in deciding on something that may be right or wrong

Oh what a surprise for you! Do you have a partner? What has he said? How did you feel when you saw the positive; a bit excited or sense of dread?
You need to think about the practicalities of another - can you afford another? Do you have space? What support would you have for 3 under 5 if you were to continue? Obviously your mental health is important too and I understand the concern, though you wint for sure experience the same thing if you were to have another.

Even before you make a decision I think you need to.see your gp asap as there can be complications related to having a coil and pregnancy, not least the risk of an ectopic, have you had any pain? I thi k asking for a scan would also be wise as you wont know how far along you are.

Yes I have a partner he is as shocked as I am and personally I don't think he taking it well. We also are getting married in 2021. So there is a lot to think about.

I had a few sharp pains a few weeks back but thought nothing of it as I was told the coil would give some pain discomfort.

I'm seeing doctor tomorrow. Argh ectopic that worries me even more
