Help worried I could be pregnant

Hi so basically I had an oops moment with my husband. We didn't use protection, he finished inside and I new I was ovulating. I got the morning after pill (Ella one) on day 4 after sex. I couldn't get there before

We already have a almost 2 year old and she is a handful all of a sudden. I don't think I would cope with a 2.5 and a newborn. Dd still co sleeps and breastfeeds didn't want to rush ending that as it would be very stressful on both parts.
I suffered bad postpartum anxiety so I think that all I can think about also.

I don't think I could go through with abortion but I have considered it. So stupid but we just got carried away in the moment

I mean this in the nicest possible way OP, but there’s getting carried away and then there’s asking for something to happen. If you knew you were ovulating and had unprotected sex, then waited 4 days to take the MAP, you essentially left yourself open to this.

On the plus side, if you do decide you can’t go through with a termination, then you still have plenty of time to get your existing DC into a better nighttime routine, with help from your husband. It may actually work out better in the long run if he takes over the routine with your toddler, so the transition is easier later on.

Good luck with whatever you decide

Try not to panic. There's nothing to do now but wait. There is a good chance you are not pregnant.
Get some pregnancy tests ready for when your period is due. I found the poundshop ones as sensitive as expensive first response ones.

I know it’s scary OP but 9 months is a third of your current baby’s lifetime they will be a completely different person by the time you give birth (if you’re pregnant which you’re probably not!) There’s really nothing you can do now except try not to worry and perhaps sort out some contraception for next time x

My daughter's sleep was awful at 2 years (my husband slept on her floor most nights!) but got better on it's own at 3 years. Also at 2.5 we dropped to one breast-feed a day. Some people feed through pregnancy and tandem feed a baby and toddler. My sister found her toddler self-created when her milk dried up in her second trimester.

Not self-created - self-weaned

I'm aware I was stupid (or asking for it)
But it happened and I tried to make the right decision when I realised another baby right now probably isn't the best idea. But at the same time I love being pregnant but the thought of how I'd cope with a 2.5 year old and newborn really scares me. I don't even know for sure yet so I guess only time will tell. Thankyou for your reply's

The morning after pill stops you ovulating, so if you had already ovulated then it won’t do anything. Also leaving it 4 days reduces its effectiveness. I’d say there’s not really anything to do now but wait and see if AF comes and do a test if not.
