Back story - was told it'd be next to impossible for me to conceive and carry a baby. Had my miracle DD now 22 months after 5 difficult years of trying.

Ok, so my DD is/was high needs, velcro baby and toddler, co sleeping, still breastfeeding etc so for the first time in a year me and DH managed to have sex 2 weeks ago. Never thinking about protection even.

Now I'm feeling sick, period overdue by a couple of days and terrified I'm pregnant.
We can't afford another baby, I was in a wheelchair with SPD in first pregnancy, I have arthritis, my husband has a chronic lung condition, I worry my DD wouldn't manage.

Basically I'm tying myself up in knots and also can't believe how I'm feeling as I thought I'd always be thrilled if pregnant.

Going to buy a test tomorrow but can't sleep wondering how we'll manage.

Didn't want to read and run. Your worries are all valid and I know you can't help over thinking things but try not to get too worked up until you know for certain and then you can go from there. Hope it's the answer you want.

Breathe. Take a test. Cross the bridges as you come to them.

Try not to panic. Get a test. And if it's negative sort some contraception out.

I'm in the same situation OP. I have 2 DC, one with ASD and physical health issues. I'm terrified, I do not want a third baby and I'm kicking myself for slipping up with contraception.

There are options though if you are pregnant, you don't have to have a baby if you don't want to. You have to put your own health first. Good luck with testing
