I have a 6mo ds. When he was 4 mo I fell pregnant and instantly knew I couldn't do it all again so soon so me and my partner decided to get an abortion. 2 months later I fell pregnant again 🙄I have no idea how as I've been religious with the pill. Anyway I actually felt happy this time. I felt ds had grown up lots in the last 2 months and I'd really got a hang of things. Dp has just got a promotion so we think we'd be able to afford it (just) and he was over the moon. He would have kept the first one if I wanted to.
But now the sickness has started, I knew it would be bad because it was with ds but now I have him to look after and I just can't cope. I can barely carry him without wanting to collapse, I just have no energy whatsoever, can't eat anything and I'm being a shit mum and putting him in front of hey duggee all the time because I can't cope. We are moving in 2 weeks as well so I need to be fit and well for that as we have no help, just us two to move everything . Dp is helping as much as he can whilst working.
So we've decided to terminate even though neither of really want to but I just can't deal with this.
Is it bad to terminate a pregnancy because of the sickness and has anyone else done it?😔

Also just an update, we kept the baby and managed well through the hard bit and second trimester is fast approaching. Thank you to all who helped me make this decision
