Abortion due to health

[spottydottyknotty]

So about 3 years ago I was told I couldn't get pregnant and will struggle to lose weight due to the size of my polycystic ovaries having pcos too. I got this confirmed with bloods, urine, scans & examinations.

Fast forward to last year I managed to lose weight only about 5lbs in roughly 6 weeks.
However recently found out I was pregnant, after conformation and consultations I had the choice of continuing with pregnancy knowing I would miscarry but could be as late as 24weeks or have termination.

So decided mutually with partner that termination would be better for my body & own mental health.

I'm not sad, I'm not happy either. I'm already blessed with 2 dc so I don't see anything wrong plus me & partner are getting on a bit now with age.

Thanks for reading. Just wanted some moral support

Do you mean because of fetal abnormalities?

Meaning the pregnancy will not last at all I would basically miscarry or have still birth. Previously I've had 3 miscarriages and two of my close friends have experienced the trauma of stillbirth.

Hi there, @spottydottyknotty - we're so sorry to hear that you're going through this. We've now moved your thread over to our Pregnancy Choices topic as it's more suitable for this discussion. Sending UnMumsnetty hugs.

Hi. I have my consultation on Friday for an abortion as I have recently found out I’m pregnant after 8 years of infertility due to pcos. I have 1dc 6 months old and have had a loss and a stillbirth and cannot face the trauma of another pregnancy. Hope you are okay x

If it's going to most likely end in miscarriage and you are happy being blessed with 2 children you have definitely done the right thing for you. I would have done the same Xx

@Kindnessmatters2 I'm ok thankyou. pcos is a nightmare happy for you regarding your LO and sorry you have to go through a termination like me but I get it, the trauma is too much.sending hugs.

@gotmychristmasmiracle thankyou
