Abortion

[Irishmu23]

Hello,

I needed to post this somewhere as I have absolutely no one to talk to. I'm currently 7weeks pregnant and planning on having an abortion. I have an 18month dd with my on again off again partner who I love but have been mainly a single mum to my dd from birth.My partner has alcohol and substance abuse problems, he's made huge in roads in to getting better but it's still all quiet new and I'm still so hurt and stressed from before I just don't feel like bringing another baby into our lives is a good idea. My family would not be happy about pregnancy due to all the ups and downs over last 12months in my relationship. I just feel so alone and lost, I know right thing to do is go through with abortion but I feel so guilty.

How do you know it's the right thing to do.

It sounds like your partner and his habits are the bits causing you a lot of stress. If he's not great for you could you carry on with him for the next 10 years.

The guilt is telling you somethings. It's not the baby it's the partner.

Whatever u do please get counselling that they offer before U do it. I wish I did and I wouldn't have then got an abortion. The guilt stays with you for life. But again it's upto you. Follow your heart.

Seek professional advice but please do not forget what type of world you will be bringing that child into?

How will you hold down your job, manage the extra expense and is your property big enough to manage 4 people?

Will you be able to give enough time to your new baby and toddler?
What support network do you have, etc

Some of the things you need to consider

You will feel guilty but time will heal

Seek professional guidance

I am pregnant and I have not told any of my family which I feel guilty about as I tell my mum everything:( I have decided to go through the abortion on my own but I am concerned as my dates are not adding up. My last period was the very beginning of October so when I went in for my scan at the clinic I was expecting to be 22 weeks but the lady told me I was 14 weeks and my abortion isn’t booked until another 3 weeks now. Is my baby just measuring tiny or will it have a growth spurt and be too big to come out or be born with a heartbeat
