Abortion decision

[Unsuremummy1]

Hi all
I really need to talk to someone and didn't know where to turn. I've currently got my gorgeous little boy who is 7 months old and just found out I'm pregnant again. I'm unsure if I should keep it as financially its to soon and the thought of 2 under 2 scares me. I had miscarriage before having my little boy and so I'm scared by having a abortion will just remind me of that dark time.
Any advice please

Hi op, it's so easy to get caught out straight after as well you're not the first person it's happened to. It's ultimately your decision, how long ago did you find out and how far along are you? I'd say it might be good to sit down and think about realistically what would your budget look like if you went ahead, and what support do you have available to you from friends/ family/partner. Would they be able to help you with childcare etc and does the maths work in your budget? In terms of your previous loss, I'm so sorry you had to go through that and I think it's only natural that's a worry you'd have. Can you sit down with your gp and talk through your options, hopefully you aren't too far along yet so you can take some time to process and think about what you want, maybe even a few counselling sessions might help you explore how you think you'd feel afterwards and give you a neutral sounding board or at least line up some support if you decide to terminate and then feel you want more support around your earlier loss at that point. There's no right or wrong answer here you just need to take your time and weigh up which is the best option for you and your family. Your opinion and decision is the only one that really matters at the end of the day you have to do what's right for you.

I agree with the above. BPAS would be really understanding of whatever decision you make and have telephone counselling. You could also post this in the pregnancy choices board. You're not alone! 💐

I’m so sorry you find yourself in this position and wish you all the best with your decision. I heard some advice to write your future self a letter whichever way you decide, so that in the future once you’re further away from the decision if you have any regrets you can look back at the letter and know you made the best decision for you and your family at the time. Take care.
