Posting here for traffic.
I know I will probably get loads of hate for this but I feel safe talking about this here.

I have one DD who is 9 and I'm currently in a relationship of 5 years. Im 34.
Today I found out I'm pregnant, at a guess I'm around 4-6 weeks maybe. Contraception failed which has led me here.

I have Fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression and I really don't think having a baby will be the best thing for any of us. My health is absolutely awful and I'm 100% sure my body will not cope well with pregnancy- the sickness is hideous already like something I've never experienced before despite my first pregnancy being horrendous!!
There's also financial/housing/life style reasons why I can not have this baby.
I've always said I didn't want any more and we're happy with having just one child.
I'm contacting my doctor tomorrow to talk about an abortion, I'm hoping to take the pill rather than a surgical procedure.
Has anyone else done this for similar reasons? What is recovery time like? How long was it until you were back to normal? Where you allowed to drive afterwards? When was the earliest you was allowed to travel (abroad)?

Hi OP. Sorry to hear you're going through all this. Hopefully someone who's been there will be along soon with more information for you.

In the meantime, we're going to move your thread over to our Pregnancy Choices board, where we think you might get more responses.
