18 weeks pregnant - need abortion

I am 28 years old. I was a single mum to my now 9 year old son. I went back to study and have graduated last year with my degree. I started a job 3 months ago and found out I was pregnant. I won't get maternity. Only maternity allowance. My partner is unemployed, can't read or write, has no work experience and lacks motivation to find work. I have given him opportunity after opportunity to get a job and help out. He lives in my house, drives my car, uses my money and now it's got to the position of my payday being 2 weeks away and I've just run out of gas and there is one run of tomato soup in the house and no money. I'm considering an abortion. In fact. I have one booked. I've worked so hard for my degree and my job as a single mum and now I've got this new man dragging my life down. I earn decent wages. But not enough to support a grown man as well. I don't want to be a single mum to two children with no money or help and thrown my career away for a man who may be going to prison. I'm 18 weeks pregnant today. Please advise

Hi Cookiesandcream123,

Sorry you have such a tough decision ahead of you. Flowers

Would it be okay if we moved your thread over to our Pregnancy Choices topic?

@StrawberryMojito

I doubt pregnancy choices gets as much traffic as pregnancy, sounds like they're trying to appease the pro life view point who must have complained. Anyway, I'm not bothered if the OP isn't.

Hi StrawberryMojito, just wanted to assure you that moving the thread has nothing to do with appeasing any view point. We created the Pregnancy Choices topic as a sensitive place for people to post about dilemmas such as this one.

We've checked with the OP and she's happy for us to move it over, so we've done this now.
