I need other peoples opinions. I thought my family was complete a few years ago when I had my third child. I am in my 30s after having my first as a teen, second in my early 20s and third in my late 20s. I have just found out I am pregnant. I have just secured a new permanent job, yet to start. I do university course on top of working full time and looking after my family. I do have my partner of many years and all children's dad who works and helps a lot. I don't know what I am expecting from starting this I am nervous and have been weighing up all the pros and cons to continuing with the pregnancy or termination. Please don't come for me I just need to know what to do my head tells me one thing and my heart the other. I think I have made a decision then change it. My other half is supportive of either choice. Please lovely people help me out 😭

I was in you're position . It is a very hard decision so I get why you're feeling the way you do . After much thought , tears and changing my mind I decided I couldn't have a termination.

My son is now 40 and has been an absolute joy , is the kindest, lovely man .

You must do what is right for you and your other kids whatever that may be .

I'm sure you'll come to the right decision but give yourself a bit of time to decide. ATB
