Possible TW mention of termination and loss

hi all so some backstory (sorry if it’s long)
first baby was sadly a loss in 2020 at 26 weeks, I had my second child in 2021 was planned and then got pregnant on the pill two months later we wanted to wait a year at the time but then I had my girl as we wanted another baby anyway in may 2022 both my living children were c sections.

been on the pill and breastfeeding and found out I was pregnant two days ago and i am in shock as this has happened again, did not get pregnant for 9 years with true implant but either way..
here’s the issue and why I need advice so I eventually do want 3 kids but I don’t want 3 very young kids I manage to raise my two very well considering I struggle with mental health and have a lack of help at home my partner said after our last he is unsure if he does want another baby but maybe in 4/5 years time …
we have also been having some relationship issues such as not being on the same team, lack of sleep issues and having to move house a lot in fact we might have to move again in the next two months.
how do I tell him? I feel so scared to tell him incase it really upsets him.. we also said if I got pregnant soon because it’s risky and the toll it’s taken on my body we will get an abortion now I support it but never liked the idea of having to get one
I wanted to focus on my career as my current kids get older, I have poor mental health as it is and I’m not sure if my body could handle it and another major surgery
I feel so lost
just some guidance or ideas of what I can do or support I can get would be amazing Thankyou and advice on how to tell my partner

Hey OP, sending love. I think it's important for you to think the outcomes through, impact on your mental and physical health is so important. I'd speak to your partner, see where his thoughts are and try and talk it through together. It is undoubtedly strain on your body potentially having 3 c sections in 3 years and there are risks and complications with that. There's nothing wrong with a termination if it's best for you and your family now, there's also nothing wrong with doing that and then your circumstances changing in the future and you deciding to have another baby. Hope your partner is supportive ❤️
