2nd Abortion

Sorry for the long post!

I got pregnant in November 23, with a guy I really liked and honestly thought I had a future with. Got pregnant unexpectedly and was very much pushed into having an abortion, which I have regretted since I did it.

We split up and I struggled on with the feelings of regret and guilt but just starting to get past it.

Today tho, I’ve found out I’m pregnant again. With a guy I’m not that keen on, he was just a distraction but I’m 100% sure I’m not going to carry on with this pregnancy. I’m just terrified I go back to feeling the way I did in January. I feel guilty that I’ve needed to have 2 abortions in 6 months after 30+ years of never getting pregnant.

Hoping someone can help me or advise me on if they have had similar situations!

its probably worth accessing some counselling- someone like ARCH or Stillwaters provide post/pre abortion counselling and you can talk through your feelings about this pregnancy. its also worth thinking about what YOU want taking out of the partner and previous experience. and just to say if you do decide to keep- there are a few of us on here who've had babies after terminations and it can generate some complex feelings so feel free to message. you are not alone.
