Here for advice.
I'm 34 years old and have a son who has just turned 11 he has autism a d dyspraxia so as you can imagine im had to fight all his life to get him the right care and support, he is doing amazing and starts hight school in Sept.l. I qualified uni this year with a nursing degree and work full time as a theatre practitioner (scrub nurse)
I love my job and love my little life.
2 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant again and I just cant get my head around it, my sons 11 and im 34 how can I have another baby now?
My partner and I have been together 4 years and he is amazing with my son and he has 4 children of his own who we spend a lot of time with and their mum has also just has a new baby in December 2024.
I guess I just want advice I feel so alone and don't want to really talk to my friends and im scared ill be judged.
I'm just scared as my son has literally grew with me he is my reason for everything he is the reason I became a nurse to give him a stable future so as you can imagine the road hasn't been easy for us l, but that kid has been my rock. What if I can't give another baby the same love I gave him, what if my son feels left out and like he comes second....
Please any advice more than anything I want honest opinions my heads is all over the place

I don't know how far along you are, but most people have some time to decide. So definitely take that time. Take some time to allow reality to sink in.

Why can't you talk to anyone about this? Why do you think your friends will be judgemental? What about your partner? Without him you would not even be pregnant. Can you talk to him?

Ultimately, you know your situation and that of your son best. You will be the best judge for both your futures. I think looking at the future long term will be your best guidance.

Good luck.

You definitely can have another baby, and it sounds like you'll give them a great life and I'm sure you'll love them so much. But you don't HAVE to have one, that is completely up to you x
