Twins HELP!

Hey everyone, so bit of a back story. I was on the pill (not the best at taking it clearly) waiting for the implant, obviously with COVID it was abit of a wait. So I had my implant fitted 20th July and did a pregnancy test with my GP that day and it was negative (it was also longer than 14 days since we had sex) so thought the chances were 0 and I was on the pill. 4 days later I had a test and thought I’d do it as I wouldn’t need them anymore and it came back positive, I was shell shocked and just devastated as we already have a 2yo and 4yo and things aren’t great between us. So I booked with BPAS, they scanned me and sent me to EPAU who scanned me last week and said everything was fine and I could have the treatment with BPAS. So today, I went for another scan so they could date it (I know weird??) so she did today’s scan I’m 5 weeks 5 days and it’s twins. I burst into tears, I really don’t want anybody to judge or hate because I feel like a horrible enough person. I didn’t want 3 children let alone 4 but I don’t think I could ever ever forgive myself having an abortion and knowing it was twins. Ever since I was like 10 I’ve always been like omg I would love twins when I grow up. I can’t stop crying, I just don’t know what to do. 💔 I know nobody can really help me but I just wanted to know if other people had ever been in a similar situation?

It's your body so your choice. There's no shame in having an abortion accidents happen. We're all only human. I think you should really think about it before you make a decision. You may come to the conclusion that it's a stretch but you'll manage and you want the babies. But if not that's ok as well. How does your partner feel about it all?

If u feel abortion isn’t for u then these beautiful twins were meant for you. Take time for urself to let it sink in. Ur still very early and anything could still happen at this point. Congratulations x

Twins are hard work at first but not a lot more than one newborn. They are brilliant later on as they are at the exact same stage of development and interests and play together really well. As you’ve always wanted twins this isn’t easy for you. Early days so don’t rush a decision.

I was in a better situation relationshipwise than you when I discovered that I was having twins, and had a two year old.
I was quite shocked and not optimistic. However they are now 2yo and are funny, gorgeous and just lovely. In most respects they are not much more work than a single baby. In fact, more and more they are less work as they entertain each other a great deal. I don't know if that makes you feel better. Huge hug.

How are you OP? I was pregnant with twins too. Decided not to continue and I feel okay. Just saying I'm here if you want to talk x

Do you have a partner op?

Hey! Thank you for all your comments. We’ve decided to keep them, I just don’t think I would have forgiven myself if I went ahead with it. Biggest twin is measuring 8+2 and smallest is 7+2 both have heartbeats though so fingers crossed smallest one catches up! ❤️ Thank you for all your comments. Xx
