Freaked out and upset

[Winwon]

Hi. Just posting for advice and support as I’m an emotional wreck. I found out last week that I’m pregnant. Completely unexpected already have 2 children and neither me or dh want any more. We both agreed fairly quickly that due to our family set up and family circumstances (I have adhd and our ds is autistic) our family just couldn’t cope with another baby.

What I’m freaking out about is that I’ve just spoken with the clinic to book a consultation and was told that I’ll likely be advised (due to covid) to have the termination at home. They’ll send the pills out and basically I pass the pregnancy at home. The thought of this terrifies me. We only have one toilet and I expect to be in and out all day and the thought of passing the pregnancy in my one bathroom scares me. My youngest ds (who’s autistic) uses the bathroom a lot and I’d be petrified of him seeing anything. Not sure what to do.

Yes it's normal practice to given the pills to use at home with early pregnancy, it would probably be best if your dh stays at home with you on the day of the second lot of pills and could you use a potty for the day for your son just incase he needs to go at the same time? In most cases it's like a heavy clotty period, you shouldn't need to be in the toilet constantly. In the first few hours I just went to check every half hour but only changed the pad every two hours.

Everyone is different of course but the vast majority cope fine at home, for me the worst was over in 5 hours and was pottering around the house cleaning and cooking by the afternoon.
