I have a daughter who’s 14 , a son who’s 7 and a newborn baby boy who’s 4 months. I’ve recently found out I’m 8 weeks pregnant despite taking the pill. We don’t really know what to do, we didn’t plan for another and neither of us like the idea of a termination but we’re thinking it would be to much with 4 children although It would be nice for my youngest to have a sibling around the same age. We have a 3 bed house and can’t afford a 4 bed, need some advice please.... has anyone been in this situation before and if you went ahead was it hard work? My partners worried we won’t have enough time for the older 2

I found myself in the same boat nearly 3 years ago. This week my baby would have turned two. Like you I was conflicted but hedging towards abortion. My DH was 100% for abortion and made it clear he was not interested in having a 4th. I deeply regret it. When periods like this (due date, christmas etc) come up, I actually hate my dh. The more pg I became, the more conflicted i was. I had the abortion at 6 weeks as he made it clear he wouldnt change his mind and I felt i had to protect the family i had. If you are not 100% sure it is right for you, its not worth it. People say better to regret abortion than regret a baby but actually the regret is visceral and very hard to deal with.
