Hiya
So just after some friendly advice and listening ear. I am 39 have one daughter who is 18. I always wanted more but never happened. My daughter's father and me split up when she was 2. I had a 10 year relationship after that where we tried for a child it didn't happen we split up not because unable to conceive but other reasons I then had a 3 year relationship where I thought my life was complete. He ended things... I have been with my now boyfriend just over a year and somehow now expecting I am 11 weeks pregnant. He is if honest someone o thought would be casual with and not sure either of us thought we would be here... I'm 39 and never been pregnant other than my daughter 20 years ago... my boyfriend does not want any more children he's younger than me and a bit of a "bad boy" I know if I was to go head I would be doing it alone.. I just don't know what to do on the one hand I have a blessing something always wanted but the other hand I'm 39 settles in life and can I do it again and alone again ... so confused

What does your gut tell you OP? Do you want this baby, even if it means going it alone?

I had my first at 37 and now pregnant with my second at 42 so age wise you'll most likely be absolutely fine, but there's a lot of other factors you need to consider.

Original poster.
It will be hard doing it solo. But you also have to think, if this is something you want, what's the likelihood of it occurring again if you didn't take it.
Would you mentally be able yo handle a termination?
Do you have the support around you for either option?
Honestly, the only person who can make this choice is you, go with your heart on it

Thank you, you are totally right with what you have said, I'm kind of at the thought of it's meant to be it will be if it's not it's not. Not sure if should look at it that way but that's how feeling at the moment
