Help. Partner doesn’t want baby

hi. I really need help, I’ve just found out I anm unexpectedly pregnant, 8 months postpartum, while taking contraception.
my partner and I have known for over a week, and after some time to think I shared concerns about how I was worried about whether or not I would cope with 2 under 2. We have done nothing but argue for the whole week, partner does not want to keep the baby. I’ve had a medical termination previously, same partner but we were 18 and not financially stable etc.
I don’t know if I can do it again, the pain of an abortion, the guilt, the regret. All of it. I just don’t know what to do

Your body, your baby, your choice. End of. If you want this baby, but terminate just to keep him happy, it will affect you and your relationship forever and probably will feel permanent resentment (understandably). Don't do it. Maybe try couples therapy? Also, you already have one child together - why does he feel so strongly about not having a second one? - has he explained his reasoning?
Sorry you're going through this x

If he truly loves you, he will eventually come around to the idea of two babies. It takes two to tango, if he knew he definitely did not another child he should have used protection to ensure that fate.

Furthermore, as a man he should be honoured to have you carry his child for the second time, especially given your experience with your first pregnancy for which I am so sorry you had to endure that.

I would say, ditch the guy and keep your baby or if other than this, he is quite supportive then he does have to get on board with what it is you want for your own body. Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
