Dont know what to do about pregnancy

[usbushsu]

I’m pregnant and i don’t know what to do about it. I was on the pill. Me and DP didn’t want another baby right now (we already have 2 young DC) the thought of abortion is eating away at me, but so is keeping the baby! We are struggling financially as it is. I don’t really know why I’m writing on here. I suppose i just want to talk about this with someone as i don’t want to speak to anyone about it in person other than my DP. I think i am around 5-6 weeks and i have booked in a phone call appointment with an unplanned pregnancy clinic to discuss options and i have also enquired at a private scan clinic about an early scan! As you can tell my head is completely muddled and i don’t know what to do at all. Any mums on here that has been in a similar situation i would really appreciate your advice! Having three children scares me but then so does the thought of termination.

Didn't want to read and run but don't have much experience to offer first hand advice I'm afraid - hopefully this bumps for you.

Although I can understand your thoughts and feelings behind this and I would be feeling the same in this situation. All I can offer is that whatever you do decide to do, I'm sure it will be the best choice for you and your family. Don't rush in to anything; it sounds like you've go all the right wheels in motion to make an informed choice. Sending hugs 💐

I really get this, currently pregnant with my 3rd (unplanned) and was not planning on having another especially not now. We will have 3 under 4 and I'm really worried about how we will cope. I keep swinging from being terrified half the time to being excited, maybe its the hormones lol It sounds like you want to have this baby, I'm pretty sure that people who want to terminate don't go booking private scans, so don't make any decisions until you are absolutely sure of what you want or you may regret it. Good luck in whatever you decide ❤️

Thank you so much for your replies. That would be the same for us, 3 under 4, it absolutely terrifies me even though i know we would just get on with it. I was looking forward to spending time with our little family how it is and i worry that a new baby would cause too many disturbances such as maybe having to get a bigger house! Im not going to rush into anything just yet but its on my mind constantly and knowing I've got to make a decision is making me feel ill.
