Abortion decision

[Unsuremummy1]

Hi I've just found out I'm possibly 2-3 weeks pregnant. I've currently got a 7 month old so this definitely was not planned!
Financially I don't think it's the right decision for us and don't think it would be fair on my 7 month old to be pregnant not feel like I can give him my all.
However the thought of having a abortion scares me I had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with my little one. So fear a abortion will just trigger those horrible emotions.
Anyone had children this close in age or anyone have any positive abortion stories. I'm really struggling to know what is right to do.

Hi Unsuremummy, sorry you've found yourself pregnant sooner than you wanted to be.

Years ago I was at a martial arts awards banquet (my husband and I were karate teachers at the time) and I remember there was this wise old man at our table, a tai chi master. Trying to make conversation I asked him, "Sifu Walker, what was your favorite toy when you were a boy?" He thought for a few seconds, smiled and said, "My brother." I had to smile because I had two younger sisters and we had many great times and memories together, more than I ever got from any toy that I had. We didn't have brand-name clothes or fancy holidays, but we were all close and still are now that we are grown.

If you want a little brother or sister for your current child, and you already know that the miscarriage (which was not your choice) was painful, you might want to take a chance on this pregnancy that the universe has given to you. Your children will only be a year and a half apart in age. You will get through all the diapers, highchairs, and baby gear all in one go (unless you want a third in the future). Your attention will be more split than if your children were more spaced out, but I don't think your older child would ever want to trade that for having a constant companion and playmate. Love has no limits-- a mother's heart does not love her child any less when another comes along. And she may not love them all in the same way, but each relationship is different and special. I hope you will be able to come to a decision that gives your life the most peace and happiness.

Hi, so I did a medical abortion 2 weeks ago,the dr only gave me 2 misoprostol to take since I was already bleeding due to implantation (I think) I bled for one day and i did pass a huge clot but after that I stopped bleeding. I’m still having pregnancy symptoms and my tummy is bloated. Went for a sonar test but the sonographer didn’t see anything she said it might be too early to tell. Does this mean my abortion didn’t work?

It's totally up to you. In my experience at this early stage it's very light bleeding with not much pain but obviously everyone's different. Good luck xx
