Unsure whether to have a termination

Hi,

I am currently 13 weeks pregnant and unsure whether to have a termination. We are currently not in the best financial or living situation. As we are living with family temporary. My mum is going to buy a house and myself and my partner are waiting to be able to move in with her. I am also not properly working so our finances aren't great at the moment.

My mum would like us to have a termination as she is worried about us looking after a baby and the big change their would be in our life. She is also not happy about us raising a baby in her home.

I completely don't know what to do as I honestly do not want a termination. I think I would feel very upset afterwards. However I feel like I am being unrealistic and selfish and wonder if I should have a termination as this is the easiest thing to do.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Without sounding too harsh it's your choice not your mums. If your not sure what you want to do don't rush into it, I did and regret it. With you being 13weeks times not on your side but I'd discuss it with your partner without thinking about what your mum wants you to do
Best of luck

Only have a termination if you are sure it's the right decision for you and nobody else.
I felt very conflicted, went though with it and the upset it caused me was way greater then I have imagined.
