Pregnant on pill, 6th baby so down

[eatmyshorts89]

I had ny 5th little baby 6 months ago, it was a brutal pregnancy. I had hyperemesis, SPD very severe really worried how I'll cope 6 children my partners very keen to keep but I feel like I'm having a break down because I can't got through this, but abortion makes me feel really sad it's not normally something I'd even consider. I was taking the pill, every day so I have absolutely have no idea how its happened I feel so so down. And one else been in a similar situation

Hi OP, I noticed no one had responded to this yet and couldn’t read and run.

How are you feeling a few weeks on? I hope you’ve had someone to talk about this with and consider your options. Sending lots of good wishes to you and your family

Thanks for replying @mistykoala, I've decided to keep the baby, despite how hard it is I think it would be a lot harder on me to go through an abortion, I'm already very nauseous I also work part time, two 12 hours shifts a week so finding it quiet difficult, fortunately I have a very helpful supportive partner otherwise i don't know how I'd do it!

Oh my goodness, I can’t imagine what a 12 hour shift would be like when nauseous and pregnant! Congratulations on the baby and I’m glad you have a supportive partner.

Take it easy, lower your standards and be kind to yourself when it’s tough!

If you had hyperemesis before, you must go to your GP for some anti-emetic medicine. As a preventative measure to stop you getting to that point again.

I have morning sickness and meds for it at the moment but nowhere near the level of HG and it's sodding miserable. I am quite sure a 3rd child would not be on the cards for us because the pregnancy is just so fucking awful in the first 3 months. That's the only reason for me. If I was in the situation you were, I too would find termination extremely difficult to even contemplate.

I say you're mighty brave and I would imagine you will adapt, as you have 5 times before.

What specifically are you worried about? The pregnancy? The newborn phase?
