Not sure if I want to terminate this pregnancy now.

So I wrote a post a couple of days ago about having to wait so long for a termination. I went into the hospital yesterday for my first pill but they couldn't give it to me because they said no doctors would sign it off so they'd send them out to me by tomorrow.

I've been thinking all day if this is actually the right thing to do. I feel attached now, I feel pregnant, I've got morning sickness, I need a wee all the time, I'm hungry, I'm bloated everything! I've already got a little boy so know how it feels and I feel pregnant and I'm not sure I can go through with this!

When I went into the hospital they said I was measuring 8 weeks, I've been reading up all day about pregnancy in the 8th week and I just don't know if I can bring myself to do this 😩

We made the decision to terminate this pregnancy for numerous reasons and we have both been dead set until now. I think if I didn't have to wait so long and got it over and done with I would of been ok with it but I'm actually not ok.

I don't know what to do, my partner thinks the best thing is to terminate and I agreed at the beginning. I haven't even spoken to him about it yet, he's on his way home from work and I'm scared to tell him!

So sorry you are feeling so conflicted

Yes you have to talk to your partner and it will be difficult

Go through the reasons again and discuss, but ultimately it's your decision and you shouldn't do anything you are not sure about

Handhold

The only thing I can say is that I would tell anyone who isn't sure about an abortion to think carefully and not have it if they don't feel sure they can live with it. It's one thing to have an abortion you are sure about and then regret it afterwards. But it's another to know before you have it that you aren't sure it's what you want to do and then have to live with it. No one here can tell you how you will feel or what is "right" for you and your life, but my thinking would be that if I felt any attachment to the baby already that I would find it worse to go through with termination than with one extra in the family.

Definitely don't rush into a decision.. you need to process your thoughts. Could you write in here what they are? What are your reasons for keeping it/terminating? Thanks

Talk to him, you can work it out together.

Don't make any hasty decisions, but whatever you decide will be the right one
