Unexpected pregnancy and abortion

Hi, I am 28 years old and have 3 children ages 2 years and 8 years and 13 years, my partner also has a child from a previous relationship who is 10 years so we are a family of 6.
I have now found out I am 7 weeks pregnant, it was a shock to myself and my partner, he doesn’t want to continue with the pregnancy because he wants to focus on the children we already have and with our youngest only being 2, thinks we will struggle as we have no family or friends around to help.

He also worries financially if we was to be a family of 7.

I understand all this but I just can’t bring myself to want to go and have an abortion, it’s not something I ever thought I would do and it’s not something I want to to do either.

He had said ultimately the decision is mine but I just don’t want to make the wrong choice; the age gap would be 2.6 months between this baby and my youngest so I think I would struggle to begin with but there not babies forever.

I just feel like I won’t ever regret having a baby but I would regret not having one and if I have one because my partner wants me to will j always resent him?

Has anyone been in a situation like this?

I also think with the age gap being 6 years plus with my youngest and other children it will be nice for her to have someone of similar age to grow up with and play with etc

All I can say is that it has to be completely your choice. You should never have a baby or not have a baby for anyone else.
If you think you might have a termination, start the process now. You can always change your mind, but it's not an instant process.
