I can't believe I've been so stupid, will just put that disclaimer there now, but I've just found out that I'm pregnant. I've only been with my boyfriend for 10 months and I already have a 4 year old DS. Haven't told bf yet because I've literally just found out and he's busy with a friend atm. We don't live together. He doesn't even know if he wants kids. I know he won't want this one. I don't even know if I want this one. Would turn our lives upside down completely and I don't know if our relationship would survive it.

I think I need - advice - what would you do if you were me? Keep the baby or not?
And positive stories if you've been in a similar situation and kept the baby.

30 you have another ten years to have one

but you might want a sibling for your child. Be prepared to be a simgle mum juggling two parents though

Does the thought of keeping it make you happy? It doesn’t seem so. 10 months in a relationship is nothing, you’ve got a 4 year old and said your partner wouldn’t want it. I would be nipping this in the bud asap. My mum got pregnant 9 months into a relationship when I was 11, and wishes to this day (sister has finished uni) that she got a termination as she and my stepdad didn’t want a baby and it’s caused nothing but friction in their marriage. Wasn’t fun to witness.

It’s awful that she’s told you this’ poor sister

It is awful, we all love her, but they shouldn’t have had her and as a result she had a boring upbringing where nobody wanted to do anything with her. She’s done really well at uni and she’s now doing her own thing which I am so proud of her for. As a result of this, I am very pro choice and don’t see the benefit of birthing babies you don’t want. I say this as a pregnant mum of one.
