Hello
I’m not sure what I’m looking for posting on here, probably just advice. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my third child. Completely unplanned and a huge surprise. My partner has said he doesn’t want a third and we’re both really struggling as to what to do. Either option seems awful. For me work is a nightmare, this would be my third maternity leave in five years so not ideal - I very much doubt they would be happy. Plus financially not sure how we would cope with childcare fees etc.
Does anyone have any advice or been through anything similar? Thanks in advance x

Forget what work will think that can easily be managed.
Other than that you have negatives and based on that, abortions seems the way forward as you don't want to have a nervous breakdown and or go under financially and or risk taking it out on each other and or the kids
If you was financially secure, had the space in your home and both of you were around 50% happy then I would have said go for it
The other factors are could be twins/tripplests etc and God forbid a child that needs more care than a helathy baby - lots to consider IMO.
I've not mean to cause offence etc and sorry if advance if some can't stomach what people have to consider in the real world.
