Dont know what to do!

I'm about 8.5 weeks pregnant, this pregnancy was unplanned and my partner (ex i should say) is strongly opposed to having a baby so much so he has left me over it. He has a 3yo from a previous relationship and I have a 5yo.

I am graduating this summer with a degree and was looking forward to studying further/ working.
Financially things aren't that great, I don't have support from my first child's father either.

I was adamant I was keeping the baby however now feel extremely torn as what to do. This pregnancy has already been very complicated from suspected miscarriage to PUL to not knowing whether this baby was viable or not.

I don't know what to do and suddenly overwhelmed with what ifs

Will I cope with 2 children
I feel my ex will probably come around to the idea but of course no guarantee

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated

It sounds like a tough situation OP. I don't really have much advice but I think you need to think practically through all of your options.
While your ex may come around to the idea of a baby, as you say it's no guarantee so when thinking through the options it would be best to look at them from the angle of being a single parent to your baby with no involvement from him. If he comes around, great! But if not then you won't be left in the deep end.

Whatever you decide, it needs to be your decision as it will be you who needs to live with it either way.

Sorry I don't have any more advice but wishing you the best OP whatever you decide!
