I am meant to start the medical abortion tomorrow I have gone over a Illinois times what is right for me I have 2 dc already 12 and 5 previous relationship and the amount of support I have is fantastic. If I decide to have this pregnancy I will be a single mum of 3 In a few month I will be at the peak of my career (going to uni ) something I have wanted to do for 13 years but never got around to do it with the children I have worked though since forever . My now ex partner is pretty horrible name calling etc and has been blocked ever since I said I made my mind up I know deep down he ain't the person I want to be with but I think my hormones are all over the place and can't stop thinking about him even though I know that I'm so better off without him please someone tell me I am doing the right thing and that this chapter in my life will be a life lesson and that I will have the rest of my life happily with my 2 DC or will I regret .

I cannot tell you what you will or wont regret. What I would advise is to write a big list of pros and cons of abortion vs keeping the baby, do all your financial calculations for both scenarios, and also look into whether you could take maternity leave from your course and if you would get any practical or financial support during this time.

Only you can answer those questions unfortunately OP. But you need to seriously think about how you will feel going through with the abortion and how you’ll feel keeping it. Plenty of mums continue with their education and careers with a baby, being a single mum is tough but you can do it if that’s what you choose. But it’s about what’s right for you and your children

I have sat and wrote a massive list of negatives and I can't see any positives just I am now single and the thought of that hurts but I know it's 100% for the best as the relationship was toxic nevertheless it still hurts
