Please advise..

I’m 7 weeks 3 days pregnant. With my first ever healthy pregnancy. Completely unplanned with a partner who I know I should not be with. He’s abusive, he lies and is not supportive.

Back in 2018, I had two partial molar pregnancies and a molar pregnancy. I suffered Hyperemesis Gravidarum then and I’m suffering it horrendously now. I’ve already been hospitalised through sickness, I’ve tried two types of anti sickness and nothing is helping. I have no support at home, I cannot work, I cannot eat, I cannot drink without everything being thrown up.

I cannot afford this baby on my own, I’m in huge amounts of debt and due to my severe sickness, it will only get worse. I don’t know what to do. But, how could I possibly even be considering terminating this baby? I’ve lost three previously which completely broke me but I’m with the same partner and he isn’t supportive financially nor mentally.

What do I do? I cannot begin to think straight about what to do…

If you do decide to go ahead with the pregnancy go and see citizen's advice and get help with the financial abd they can help you if you're entitled to claim any benefits etc.

Tying yourself to this guy for many years seems like a bad idea but I can see why termination would be a very difficult decision to make.

I was going to say the same as pp. whatever you decide help is available for your debt situation. Only you can make the decision Re whether to keep the baby - just make sure you are fully informed as to what help is available to you (with the debts and benefits and also housing etc if you feel you want to leave your partner). The CAB would be a good place to start to find out what services are available in your area.

in your situation i would leave that abusive partner and as pp said go to CAB immediately to get advice.
good luck with whatever way you choose op. Flowers

There are quite a few other anti sickness drugs you can try, and normally you should take a few at a time for severe HG. In particular ondansetron and zonvir are worked well for me. Pregnancy sickness support is a HG charity that can give you specialist 1-2-1 support and are well worth a call. I’ve had 3 HG pregnancies.
