Please no judgement, per my user name I’m scared and desperate, and I’m truly devastated to be in this position.
I found out today that I’m pregnant. I had a baby last year I've been on the pill since so it’s come as a total shock.
Because of the pill I have no idea about dates, other than I wasn’t pregnant in mid-September as I had a test during a routine medical. However, looking back I can see I’ve put weight on around my middle (no bump yet though) and I think I can feel movement but I’m not sure.
I haven’t told my BF yet as he’s out after work but I am 100% decided on a termination and I know he will agree. We cannot on any level afford to provide for another child, and attempting to do so would massively impact on what we can provide for the child we already have.
I’ve got a telephone appointment on Tuesday to discuss the termination. Does anyone know what happens from here? I assume they’ll do a scan, how long does it take to get an appointment for that and how long does it take to then get the appointment for the procedure? I’ll have to travel a couple of hours from home to a clinic - is it something I could go to on my own (via taxi) so my BF can look after our child? How long will I be gone?
If I manage to have the termination, I’m going to ask to be referred for sterilisation. We don’t want more children. Any experience of this would also be gratefully received.
I’d really appreciate any practical advice. Thank you.
