Hi all
I am so frightened. I have two children but during birth with my second I had some heart problems which was a huge scare and I ended up in ITU. I did recover but was told that it could happen again although the consultant didnt sayvi couldn't have a third baby just that there would need to be consideration of the risk. Over the past year I'd come to a decision that my family was complete after some broodiness that passed (youngest is 3) but have unexpectedly fallen pregnant due to a contraception failure.
My husband wants to continue the pregnancy but I am so scared.
I don't want to continue this pregnancy and feel like I have come to this decision. I don't want to take a risk with my health and face leaving my two children if something goes wrong again. I'm overweight, I'm unfit and I am older now.
My husband isn't supportive of me terminating but arguably it's not him that has to deal with this.
I know it's possible I may regret either decision I make but I feel like a ticking time bomb.
Has anyone experienced this before? Has anyone regretted a termination?
There were lots of other reasons I didn't want a third but I think my health anxiety is hugely skewing my viewpoint
