Hi, I'm a mum of 2 and I recently had a termination. I was so confused at the time, my husband didn't want to have another child, I was going through depression. I felt like I didn't want to have another child, I didn't feel any bond with the baby but I felt that termination was not the right choice for me either, I didn't know what to do, I was in a really bad state, in the end I did what my husband wanted me to do and had a termination. And I regret it ever since. Just as I didn't love the baby when I was pregnant, I started loving it when I lost it. I feel pain like never before, I feel guilt and anger. I now feel like I became a mother of three but one of my children died because of me and I really can't cope with it. Counselling doesn't help as they only see it from a biological point of view, to them it wasn't a baby. As mad as it may sound I feel that the only thing that could heal me is to have another baby but only if my husband would agree to have another one. I so desperately want to have another child now I know what I lost. Are there any mums that felt the same and had another child after termination? Would you mind sharing your experience with me? Would having another child help with the loss or would it make it worse? Could I please ask for comments only from mums that have had a similar experience.

Oh no because you couldn’t get pregnant?

@Sjdtg sorry to ask was it because you didn’t want to try again?

@Sjdtg sorry to read this. Did you try to get pregnant again? Or did you feel like you shouldn’t try or it didn’t work? It is such a horrible place to be in

I am now back speaking with him and he just wants his little family we wanted back. He promises to quit drinking the few nights a week and will never seek outside of our relationship it just kills him when I would make him feel like not a man and kick him out of my home. He is a very successful man who always contributes, the baby on the way was all joyous and I took it too quickly and aborted. I understand he was wrong but I also picked and poked for him to go and do that. Im broken. I just need help justifying why. I just want to try again and have a baby. Am I so far in the wrong to abort so quickly then want to reproduce? I am in such regret as now we are back together and he seems so willing to make me feel good and help me thru this. Please help me find peace with this
