Pregnant and not sure I want to be

[westiemum]

Im 35 and a divorced single mum of a 3.5 year old daughter, and have just found out Im pregnant after a short term relationship. I was using condoms, morning after pill (when one split) and depo jab, although there is the possibilty that I was pregnant when I started that. I have just got back on track financially after my divorce and feel that I just cant afford another child. However I think that at 35 this might be my last chance to have another child and my daughter would love a sibling. I had pre and post natal depression with my daughter and have really only felt better this last year. I am changing my mind hourly about having this baby and just feel in such a jumble!! Any advice would be greatly received.

Westiemum, I posted a few seconds ago, but then my connection crashed
I think if you think this is your last chance, go for it and continue the pregnancy, the other stuff will work itself out.
Good luck with your decision

Everything happens for a reason. I'm of the opinion that every baby is a blessing. Think of your daughter, and what a beauty she is, and how you couldn't imagine life without her now. It will all work out, I'm pretty much in the same boat, only my DD1 is 13 and I'm still in the relationship with my new beau after a yucky divorce from my ex...and I barely make my monthly bills as it is, but we will figure it out...there's always help out there, I wish you the best!

I'm so much in the same situation as you but further along. It has got easier as my pregnancy has progressed. (harder on the days that i am tired tho)I couldn't of lived with the possibilty of depression brought on by terminating personally. Also feel that in the big picture it will all work out somehow despite it being so hard in the now.Like you i also think it may be my last chance even though my contraception failed and i was just beginning to get on my feet too! Just wanted to let you know that your'e not the only one.
Good luck with your decision x
