i know i’m going to get judged but i need advise
my last period was 18th august but it was weird and lasted 11 days which is not normal, i missed my sept period but didn’t think much of it due to the long one but im due on again and nothing so i took a test and im pregnant

im not with the dad anymore, i ended things and i don’t want to take him back like before, me and my children are happy and my youngest is only nearly 9 months

i want to focus next year on us, we have just been offered a house and even tho i would have another if i have unlimited money and time and space i know i cant have another it’s not fair on my children but i dont know how far along i am or how to have an abortion what no help, just me and my children
i don’t know why i always do this

Don’t panic. If your last period was 18 August you’d be 8 weeks so you have time. When I terminated I went to my local sexual health clinic, if there isn’t one near you I would just call your GP and ask for advice, or https://www.bpas.org/.

You'll be ok xx

Its a tough decision. 💯
Could you make an appointment with the GP for some clarity? Or maybe the Brooke clinic?
It depends how far along you are OP

You have various choices:
Medical abortion (Pills)
Surgical Abortion
Keep baby
Adopt
Foster
Kinship care.

It's tough and I hope you're okay. 🫂
ETA: when you are ready, also look into different contraceptive methods, such as:
Coil
Impant
injection
pills

Best of luck op 💕

You’ve got two threads running on the same topic , nobody can tell you what to do. I’m sorry you’re in this position but you are the only one who can decide.

Have you spoken with BPAS/Marie Stopes OP?

Don't panic lovely, first thing is to book in with GP or Marie Stopes/BPAS to find out how far you are and what your options are.

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago - protection somehow failed (still don't know how) and I was a single parent with small kids in a house that was already too small. I knew inside that in a perfect world I would be happy, but in reality I couldn't cope and it be fair on my other children. I had an early medical termination and it was very sad but physically fine, no different than a heavy period.

It's your choice what to do and what you feel is best for your circumstances. Even when we feel very torn usually we know deep down what's best. Good luck xxx
