Ok so... I found out 2 days ago i am pregnant again! Yes I know how babies are made however....he has been diagnosed infertile and I am pumping and tracking with LH strips I didnt ovulate till 5/6 days after so its a miracle this has even happened as means would've had to have waited days before egg dropped! Anyway I have a 8 month old baby and a 3 year old autistic child...I have a small car which doesnt hold a double pram i have 2 singles as oldest cant walk far due to his ASD and then my 8 month old was the worst sleeper only just getting on track I have a small town house 2 bedrooms cant move as no renters take me as on benefits due to my 3 year old ect anyway what is the advice what can I do? 17 month age gap?

We live in a country where abortion is legal, thankfully. I’d be discussing with your partner and potentially doctor before making the decision that’s best for you and your family.

Honestly? I think you should terminate for everyone’s sake. Sorry if that’s not what you want to hear.

Hello. I haven't been through this myself, but it sounds very hard work for you, without adding a third baby.
Have you thought about a termination?

I have and I did a post in pregnancy choices and got no answers but i am so unsure as if its even do able to keep but will it mentally effect me forever? Could I try and make it work or is it selfish for my other way 2 children 🥺 it is such a hard choice!

Hi! I have 5 kids 5 and under including a 4 year old autistic boy. If you chose to go ahead feel free to message me for any advice or questions.

But also, it is hard so whatever you choose is the right choice

Sometimes, not continuing with a pregnancy can be the most loving thing to do for your existing children and yourself.
Terminations don’t have to leave mental distress and, in your circumstances, any feelings about having one would probably pale into comparison against the long lasting trauma of continuing with your pregnancy.

There’s no shame in ending a pregnancy if you’re not ready.
