Hey everyone,
I've just found out I'm pregnant with my 2nd child (my DD is 7 years old) and I'm absolutely petrified as I've only been with my partner for almost 7 weeks - we used protection but it split, so I took the Ella One morning after pill but it didn't work - so I'm now approx. 4 weeks pregnant & feeling very frightened as its so early in my relationship 😰
I'm definitely going through with the pregnancy as I've had a termination in the past & I just cannot go through that again, I already feel a bond with this baby, but I'm so worried as my life is currently so settled with my young daughter & I can't help but feel I'm letting her down 😰 I'm 35 years old, I own my own house, I have a good job & a very loving family, and my partner has said he'll support me... I guess it's just fear of the unknown - I'm so worried my parents are going to hit the roof as they have such a huge involvement with my daughter & they've not even met my new partner yet... my mums always telling me how much I'll mess my life up if I have any more children (my mum played a big part in my decision to terminate a pregnancy in the past) - and goodness knows what my work colleagues/friends will think etc, as they all know I've been with my new partner for literally weeks 😥 I'm totally freaking out, I can't sleep & my minds in complete overdrive 😢 The only comfort I have right now is knowing that I'm a really good mummy to my daughter & I know I'll love this baby with all my heart - this may be my last chance to have a baby as my biological clock is ticking somewhat, I'm just so worried about the pressure my mum will put on me when she finds out, as well as all the other worries of having a baby this soon in a new relationship ⏰ Any advice would be greatly appreciated - I feel so lost 🥺🙏 Thanks so much x
