I delivered a beautiful baby boy through a very traumatic crash c section in September. He is now 5.5 months old. As he was cut out of me in a very rushed emergency, I was warned to not get pregnant for a year following the birth. Ex partner left me to raise a newborn all by myself, and now has weekly contact with baby. Then 2 months ago I met an amazing guy.Yesterday I found out that I’m pregnant again. Roughly 5 weeks. This was a complete accident as I did not get warned that medication I was briefly on would reduce the effectiveness of my contraception. I am absolutely horrified. He has been incredibly sweet, and said that it’s completely my choice in wether to carry on the pregnancy, however he is a junior doctor with an intense schedule, so it would be like raising a newborn by myself all over again. … What would you do?

I think the most important thing to consider here is the impact on your body given the advice you received. I think you need to speak to a health professional (though maybe not your new partner 😜)

Good luck!
