Hi everyone im new to this website. I’m 22 and just found out I’m pregnant. I’m 6 weeks and scared. I never really wanted kids and was happy to live my life without them but now I’m pregnant. I’m not against abortion and I do believe every woman should have that right but something in me is holding on to this baby. I don’t know what to do. The thought of giving birth is awful to me and I don’t want to do it. I think my head is everywhere. I have only known that I’m pregnant for a week. I have a great support system and we are financially great so on paper this wouldn’t be an issue. Just my head is everywhere. I’m just asking for advice. Has anyone been in this position and stuck it out and what was the end result? Please help as I’m at my wits end and have no one else to talk to.

Can you talk to your partner?

Hi yes. My partner is really good tbh but I think he is sick of me being indecisive now. But it’s such a huge decision.

One of the worst things is stewing on it and letting everything go around in your head. Maybe write down on a piece of paper your fears, the good things the child would bring etc and talk them through one by one with your partner. It definitely is a scary time, I have two children and had all the same fears. I was terrified. I now have two brilliant boys who I wouldn’t change for the world.
At the end of the day, your decision is your decision, you need to do what’s best for you.
