My baby boy is currently 10 weeks old, he was born on the 23rd of August.
My current partner is not the babies dad but we met whilst pregnant and he’s stuck by me ever since. He sees my son as his own and it’s made me love him even more to see the way he is with him.

We started sleeping together a few weeks after birth and was rejected the patch as you have to wait 6wpp generally.
At around 1/2 weeks ago I got the mini pill tested before taking the first one and it was negative but yesterday felt to take a test just to make sure because I hadn’t had any signs of a period.

As you can see I’ve discovered it’s a positive result and now I am so scared and so shocked that it happened so soon - silly really!
I’ve spoken to my partner but before this happened we both discussed we’d wait a few years before trying for baby of his own.
He is completely supportive of my decision whatever it may be but I can tell he’s worried, I can see he wants a baby of his own but maybe not now even though I know he’d be supportive If I chose not to terminate.
We are currently living in a unit but by July next year I’m 99% sure we will have our own proper place.
We have a little flat but no bathroom of our own and of course only 1 room.

Any advice welcome I’m just really unsure of what to do - my brain says one thing and heart says another. I’ve struggled a lot with postpartum depression and I’m concerned that having a baby so soon after my little boy is the wrong choice.

People can give you all the advice in the world but what do YOU want to do ? If you do go ahead with the pregnancy, you will have a newborn and a 1 year old. Do you think you could manage that ? Also being pregnant while dealing with a baby is a lot. It's definitely what you feel is right for you
